Lemay Avenue Estates
History
 When
the Everitt Companies was in the process of developing Indian Hills
and University Acres neighborhoods (almost 50 years ago), the city
manager at the time approached Robert Everitt and his partner, Bill
Tiley about renaming the street Hospital Road.
To honor their parents, they selected naming it after Robert’s
father, Les Everitt, and Bill’s mother, Mae Tiley. The result in the
combination of their initials game them Lamae. As fate would have
it, the city misspelled the street name and instead named Hospital
Road what we know it as today:
Lemay Avenue.
Lemay Avenue is a landmark in regards to the growth of the Everitt
Companies and the growth of Fort Collins. Everitt Companies has
developed the communities from Lemay Avenue’s northern most terminus
at the Country Club, through to University Acres, Indian Hills,
Mission Hills, Parkwood, Nelson Farm, Sherwood Estates, the Mall,
Oakridge, Oakridge Estates, and now, finally the southern most
terminus: Lemay Avenue Estates.
The Lemay Avenue Estates community is not just another neighborhood
for the family-operated Everitt Companies. This community represents
four generations of hard work and planning. It represents the
abundant growth of our town, the place we are proud to call home:
Fort Collins.
