That’s exactly where Sonders stands out as an active adult community in Fort Collins that feels both energized and grounded.

Near Old Town Fort Collins, Without Hustle and Bustle
One of Sonders’ greatest advantages is its proximity to Old Town Fort Collins.

Close to Healthcare, Close to Peace of Mind
Another critical component of smart location is access to healthcare.
