It seems odd to just write about the charm of a street, but somehow Remington has caught my attention over and over again as a beautiful, charming boulevard epitomizing Fort Collins. A street with literally a beginning and end (starting at Johnson—just south of Spring Creek Trail and finishing at the south edge of Old Town), it is a rarity in a town with streets that stretch for miles.

Houses of all ages live on Remington Street; but mostly the turn of the century types enjoy the overgrown trees and quiet, but somewhat heavily traveled avenue. It runs to the East of College, a direct parallel, and thus a scenic and less congested alternative to the heavily trafficked College Avenue.

My family takes this course when bicycling to Old Town from our midtown home since the bike lanes are friendly and wide. The adorable cottages and overwhelmingly stout Victorians make for a lovely ride.

Several landmarks like the only Buddhist center in town and the old Fort Collins High School (now a CSU music hall) as well as historically named buildings line Remington.

For a beautiful byway and an historic walk down Fort Collins architecture, visit Remington Street.
