A historic, post-war community
Sheely Addition lies between Colorado State University’s campus and the picturesque Gardens on Spring Creek. The neighborhood’s location allows for access to popular CSU events and nearby outdoor spaces. In the 1940s, Arthur Sheely purchased the 40 acres of land that is now Sheely Addition before selling it to developers in 1951. Their goal was to provide housing for families settling down after World War II. At the turn of the 21st century, the community was added to the Register of Fort Collins Historic Places.
