North & East Cheyenne

Community college anchor community at the I-80 / US-85 junction

Fox Farm-College is an unincorporated CDP of about 3,900 residents southeast of Cheyenne, wrapped around the 270-acre main campus of Laramie County Community College — established by Laramie County voters in 1968 and still one of the south side's largest institutional employers. The community takes its compound name from a historic fox-breeding operation that once ran on Crow Creek and from LCCC itself. Today the footprint blends older single-family neighborhoods, strip-retail and light industrial along East Lincolnway and South Greeley Highway, and direct I-80 on-ramps — making it the most affordable entry point in the immediate Cheyenne area for buyers who want to be within a 10-minute drive of downtown, Warren AFB, and the LCCC jobs that anchor the south side.

Unincorporated CDP — served by the South Cheyenne Water and Sewer District (8 mill levy) and Laramie County Sheriff's Office. Historic Arp Elementary is being rebuilt on its original site; LCSD1 feeder boundaries are shifting through the replacement project.

Three-to-five acre rural living north of Cheyenne

Ranchettes is an unincorporated census-designated place immediately north of Cheyenne city limits, built on 3-to-5 acre rural-residential parcels threaded along Yellowstone Road. With ~6,400 residents on roughly 9 square miles, it's the kind of place where Davis Elementary sits on the same arterial as working horse pastures, and where a 15-minute drive puts you in downtown Cheyenne or at the gates of F.E. Warren Air Force Base. Price premiums relative to the rest of the metro reflect lot size rather than finishes — most homes here are modest ranch-style builds on land meant for horses, hay, and High Plains views.

Unincorporated CDP — no municipal government, no HOA on most parcels (some subdivisions use Road Maintenance Associations for dirt roads), most homes on private wells and septic, patrolled by Laramie County Sheriff's Office rather than Cheyenne PD.
