Community Information
Education and local culture are closely tied to the Westerly community and contribute to the quality of life for everyone who calls it home.
Meet Westerly
This is Westerly. A new choice for homebuyers. A place carefully cultivated by SLC Communities and proudly part of the charming town of Erie. A place with neighbors, classic simplicity and refreshing variety. A place that believes in the power of the community.
A place created more for two feet, two wheels, and four paws. Where thoughtfully designed parks, ponds and open space put nature within reach. Close-by Front Range trails and stunning views of Longs Peak are a constant reminder that this is Colorado.
For buyers who want small-town charm, and a true sense of community, Erie and Westerly are the answer.

Metropolitan districts are political subdivisions of the State and impose property taxes to generate the revenue needed for funding the construction of infrastructure. In Colorado, property taxes are paid on the “assessed value” of a property. Residential property currently is assessed at 7.15 % of the actual value of a home (actual value is established by the County assessor).
