Sunflower
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Sunflower is an age-restricted 55+ manufactured-home community in south Fort Collins operating under the federal housing-for-older-persons rules, with at least one resident per home aged 55 or older. The homes are two- and three-bedroom manufactured units built between 1990 and 2010 on manufactured-home lots, and resale prices of roughly $180K to $350K make it the lowest-cost age-restricted option in the city. A clubhouse with a scheduled activity calendar, a pickleball court, a putting green, and internal walking trails sit inside the gated entrance, with foothill views to the west. College Ave is about three minutes away and Harmony Rd about five, which puts the MAX bus rapid transit line and the Harmony Rd retail corridor within a short drive.
