If you are looking for a starter home outside of Denver, the Fox Hill neighborhood is worth a look. Located in Centennial, Colorado, Fox Hill is 25 miles southeast of Denver, a 35-minute drive and 30 miles or a 25-minute drive to the Denver International Airport.
The community is filled with tract homes built in the early 90’s, according to Kathy Loidolt, who sells homes in the Denver region with Flying Horse Realty, LLC, and has lived there since 1984. “Fox Hill has good starter family homes. Some of the older residents and empty nesters are starting to sell,” she explains. “A lot of the homes are two stories. It’s a safe, cute neighborhood. Cute as in the homes are well-cared for with mature trees.” Some homes in the neighborhood have extra-large 2 or 3-car garages. The downside of Fox Hill homes, according to Loidolt, is that since the neighborhood is older, the houses and lots are smaller and many homes require a lot of upkeep or renovations. But, she says, the community’s aesthetics make up for it. “There are good parks and walking trails,” she says.
One school system serves the Fox Hill families and their children: the highly-rated Cherry Creek School District, which Niche rates an A. Peakview Elementary School is an A-minus-rated school. Thunder Ridge Middle School has a Minecraft club for students who love gaming and Niche gives the institution an A-minus. Eaglecrest High School, an A-minus Niche school, is the only high school in Colorado with a live mascot. The school partners with HawkQuest and does a lot of fundraising to help preserve the organization’s birds of prey center.
Fox Hill Park is the neighborhood’s local open green space. Complete with a playground, basketball court and hiking trails, there is something for everyone. The Quincy Reservoir is a popular 160-acre fishing hole known for having an abundance of trout, perch and largemouth bass. Coloradans value their open spaces, especially ones that can be used year-round. Besides being a thrilling place to enjoy water activities, you can camp at nearby Cherry Creek State Park. Or spend the afternoon on horseback on one of the park’s trails.
Colorado is known for its breweries. The Two22 Brew in Fox Hill isn’t just known for craft suds like Bearel Patio Peach. The company is also known for its generosity. For every $10 profit, the microbrewery donates $2.22 to Colorado non-profits. This spot also has a dog-friendly patio to enjoy your beer and the company of friends. Spice 8 Asian Kitchen’s coconut lime beef will send you tastebuds on an exotic vacation. The restaurant is located on South Reservoir Road, just a short drive from Fox Hill.
Town Center at Aurora is a two-story enclosed mall that is a shopping hub and a place for the community to gather. Events like food truck festivals and the annual Boo N Brew Candy Crawl, an event that features trick or treats, a DJ spinning tunes and a beer garden, are common. The Regional Transportation District has bus stops in the area for those who choose not to drive or want to take a day trip to Denver.
