Why People Move Here
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.
