Best Neighborhoods in Laramie, Wyoming

Laramie is a tale of two cities. In the summer the city is quiet as the college students have all bolted for home. Come fall things pick up and get more energized but without too much of the ballyhoo of some college towns. Another thing to know about Laramie is that approximately 50% of the people here rent their homes. Some of that is a byproduct of the college residents and some of that is the blue collar working community that can’t afford the somewhat expensive housing prices by Wyoming standards.

The city is primarily made up of bedroom neighborhoods with 3 and 4 bedroom homes dominant and apartment complexes throughout, available for college and other renters.

Laramie has a small young professional population that in many cases works at the U. In many cases they also live in the historic district south of campus which has both apartment and housing options. Rentals abound in Laramie so relatively easy for a young professional to afford living here.

• Historic District
• City Center

Much of the University population lives on campus but surrounding apartment complexes in the City Center and Historic District south of campus also hold some of them as well. Given the high percentage of rentals in Laramie it is a pretty inexpensive place for college kids off-campus with plenty of low-priced apartment complexes for rentals.

• City Center
• Historic District

Most of the neighborhoods outside of Downtown and the Historic District have suburban vibes with multiple-bedrooms and yards galore. The school district is excellent so this is a great place to get your start and have enough to raise the little ones or maintain the lifestyle of the bigger ones.
