If you’re searching for West Greeley homes under $500K, these are absolutely worth a look.
And right now… that price point is getting harder and harder to find—especially when you start factoring in things like layout, finishes, and what’s actually included.
We recently toured the Somerset model by Baessler Homes in Union Colony West, and it’s one of those homes that really starts to make sense the more time you spend in it.

A Home That Feels Thought Through Right Away
There’s a certain expectation people have when they walk into homes at this price point.
And most of the time… that expectation is pretty accurate.
You’re usually giving something up—whether that’s layout, finishes, or overall feel.
This one doesn’t feel that way.
What stands out right away in the Somerset is how well the layout and flow are thought through. Nothing feels forced, and you’re not trying to make the space work—it just naturally does.
And then there’s the natural light.
Large windows throughout the home bring in a ton of sunlight, which changes how the entire space feels from the moment you walk in.
A Layout That Actually Works for Everyday Living
As you spend more time in the home, it becomes clear that this isn’t just about checking boxes.
The layout is built around how people actually live day to day.
The main living areas connect in a way that feels open and usable—not just visually appealing, but functional.
And the primary suite is exactly what most buyers are hoping for at this price point.
It’s not overdone, but it has everything you’d want or need—giving you a space that feels comfortable without stretching beyond what makes sense for the home.
The Value Conversation (Where This One Really Stands Out)
This is where things get interesting.
If you’re trying to stay under $500K in Northern Colorado, this is… honestly… hard to beat for new construction.
And it’s not just the price.
It’s what you’re getting for it.
Landscaping is included—which, if you’ve looked at new construction before, you already know is a huge deal. That’s time, money, and effort you don’t have to think about after closing.
When you start comparing this to other options in similar price ranges, the overall value becomes really clear.
Why Union Colony West Continues to Gain Attention
The home itself is strong, but the location plays a big role here too.
Union Colony West sits on the west side of Greeley, and it’s positioned in a way that gives you a lot of flexibility.
You’re close to Windsor, with access to the Windsor school district, and commuting is straightforward with quick routes to both I-25 and Highway 34.
There are trails built into the community, and as the area continues to grow, you’ve got Twin Rivers Marketplace being developed nearby—bringing in restaurants, shopping, and more options over time.
It’s one of those areas where you’re not just buying a home—you’re stepping into something that’s still developing in a really positive direction.
Brian Franzen’s Perspective
For Union Colony West, this is the builder I’d be pointing people toward.
Baessler Homes has a strong presence in Northern Colorado—not just building homes, but being part of the community.
They live here. They work here. They give back here.
And you can feel that in the product.
The finishes feel more thoughtful.
The layout makes more sense.
And overall, it’s a home someone can feel really proud of.
Especially when you compare it to other options in the neighborhood, this is where I think buyers are going to find the most value.
Living in West Greeley, Just Outside Windsor
A lot of buyers start their search in Windsor.
But what they often find is that moving just slightly into West Greeley opens up more opportunities—especially when it comes to price point.
You’re still getting:
- access to great schools
- proximity to Windsor amenities
- easy commuting routes
- growing retail and dining options
You’re just doing it from a position that gives you a little more flexibility.
And for a lot of buyers right now, that tradeoff makes a lot of sense.
