The climate is very mild and considered a near desert but it's hard to tell with all the trees along the river banks and planted downtown and in residential areas. Greeley is the location of the confluence of the Poudre River into the South Platte River. Both of this rivers support a vast area of agriculture not only in Colorado but many states on it's way to the Missouri River.  The Poudre River drainage also supplies most of the cities water and there are literally hundreds of agricultural irrigation ditches supplying the industries water needs. The Poudre River's head waters start in Rocky Mountain National Park at the continental divide and goes through downtown Fort Collins before heading to Greeley.

Greeley has many quality of life features and that is one of the main reasons people move to this area. The outdoor recreation opportunities here are vast within an hours drive of Greeley Colorado. There is both the Poudre river and the South Platte river running through Greeley. There are the great plains to the east and the rocky mountains to the west.

Greeley is still considered by most as a small town however again within and hours drive are four larger cities plus the Denver Metro area to the south. Greeley citizens get to enjoy both the small town atmosphere and can be to a major city in just under and hour.

Many Greeley businesses and medical facilities are moving west as the city limits moves that way to take advantage of the growth in that direction.
