Fort Collins is not near a San Jose or Seattle level of tech employment but then, neither is anywhere else in the USA. Any tech worker who ends up there won't be hurting for employment opportunities, especially if they are willing to commute to Denver or Boulder. Just don't be surprised when the cost-of-living ends up higher then one might expect. Housing is still a good deal by Bay Area or NYC standards, though.

Housing in the corridor from Fort Collins to south of Denver is expensive and comparable to bay area pricing. You will not be able to afford much on 150K there.

  That is funny because looking on Redfin I see the exact opposite. 4 Bed, 3 Bath 2k to 3k Square feet houses average $264 a square foot, 650k average price. That is a great deal more affordable than my Zip code or most of the good housing areas in the Bay area https://www.redfin.com/city/7006/CO/Fort-Collins/filter/sort=hi-price,property-type=house+townhouse,min-beds=3,min-baths=2,min-sqft=2k-sqft,max-sqft=3k-sqft https://www.redfin.com/city/7006/CO/Fort-Collins/filter/sort...

  There's a lot of housing in the $500K range in Fort Collins. I can speak with some authority on this situation; I run the MLS for Northern Colorado. :-) edit: MLS = Multiple Listing Service, that thing you do when you "list" a house.
