Residential city surrounded by retail and recreation
Columbine sits about 14 miles south of Downtown Denver with an expansive suburban landscape. The community was put on the map in the 1950s and '60s when the Martin Company Missile Facility was built in Waterton. Now, the sprawling residential city is home to over 25,000 people. “It’s a very appealing area. Very family friendly for both young and old,” says Realtor Melinda Sanders with eXp Realty, who has seven years of experience and lives in the area. “You’re very close to retail centers but also close to Chatfield State Park.” Columbine Corporation is headquartered in the city, providing geological well-site services. Other top industries include energy, technology, finance and scientific services.
Columbine combines shopping conveniences and outdoor recreational activities.

Neighborhoods of single-family homes and townhouses
Columbine’s established neighborhoods are separated by winding trails and green spaces, with subdivisions shaded by mature trees. Columbine Hills, Columbine West and Columbine Knolls all have a wide range of housing types from the 1960s to 1990s, including ranch-style homes, split levels and traditional multi-story houses. Leawood and Vintage Reserve have multi-story Craftsman homes – some of which are new construction. The median price for these single-family properties is around $720,000, which is almost twice the national median price of $407,000. Communities of contemporary townhouses are found throughout the city. These properties share a median price of $435,000. “Home values are going up dramatically north of Coal Mine Avenue because homes are getting purchased and renovated," Sanders says. "Though, there are areas south of Ken Caryl Avenue that are more affordable."
Some Tudor style homes can be spotted in Columbine.
Split-level homes in Columbine average price is $407,000.

City parks and recreation at Chatfield State Park
Columbine is dotted with parks and green spaces tended by the Foothills Parks & Recreation District. Robert F. Clement Park has a reservoir for fishing and an outdoor amphitheater. “It’s a big park, and there’s always games going on. My son would have soccer practice at the park, and he used to love the skate park when he was younger,” Sanders says. There’s also the Columbine Sports Park, a baseball complex. The Columbine Trail is a paved path that travels through the city and connects to the Colorado Front Range Trail. Chatfield State Park is an outdoors hotspot, located directly south of Columbine. There’s a full-service marina and a swimming beach along Chatfield Reservoir, as well as 26 miles of surrounding trails. The Chatfield Dog Park is an off-leash area.
Chatfield State Park has tons of paved trails to take in.
Robert F. Clement Park offers sport courts, games, picnic areas & playgrounds.

Clement Park’s annual community events
Numerous events are held every year at Clement Park. The Summerset Festival is one of Jefferson County’s largest community events. The South Denver Beer Festival showcases craft beer from local and regional breweries. The Red, White and You, a Fourth of July celebration, culminates with fireworks. “They’ll have craft fairs and car shows… a lot of different stuff you can go to that’s free to walk around,” Sanders says.
Public schools in Littleton and Jefferson County
Columbine is served by both the Jefferson County School District and Littleton Public Schools. Jeffco enrolls over 75,300 students across 155 schools, including four elementary, one middle and one high school in Columbine. The district earns an A-minus grade from Niche. Littleton Public Schools has one elementary, one middle and one high school in the city and receives an A grade.

Columbine Knolls Village, on Wadsworth Boulevard, has both local restaurants and fast-food options. About 3 miles northwest of the city is Southwest Plaza, an indoor shopping mall. Surrounding the area are big box stores and chain restaurants.

Traveling in and around Columbine
Columbine is a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly community with wide neighborhood streets and sidewalks, as well as its trail system. The city is car-dependent, however. Colorado state Routes 121 and 75 travel north to south. SR-75 connects to U.S. Route 85, which can be taken to Downtown Denver. Colorado state Route 470 travels east to west, south of the city. The Denver International Airport is roughly 46 miles away.
Columbine’s crime prevention and seasonal weather
While Columbine does not have a dedicated police department, the city relies on the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The city sees all four seasons including warm summers and cold, snowy winters. The average annual snowfall is 56 inches. When the weather is dry, South Metro Fire Station 13 is on guard for any potential wildfire risks.
