Parks and open space close by
“There’s great hiking and walkability, and it’s nice to have something very close,” says Re/Max team leader and associate Kim Davis. “You can walk right to both the botanic gardens and Hildebrand. You’re just so close to the foothills with hiking and mountain biking. It’s great for recreational purposes, and Chatfield Reservoir is great too.” Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms lies just south of the neighborhood and has 700 acres of historic buildings, nature trails and native plant gardens. Chatfield State Park offers miles of hiking trails, a large dog park, campgrounds and an expansive reservoir where you can boat, fish or swim. “If you’re a golfer, this is a really attractive side of town,” says Steve Westfall, a longtime Littleton-area Realtor with Re/Max Professionals. “I’m a big golfer, and I love that you have options in this area. My personal favorite is the Fox Hollows Golf Course because it has great conditions and has three nine-hole courses, so you can mix and match.” Fox Hollows is around 9 miles from the neighborhood and is just one of six courses within about a 15-minute drive.

The main reasons for increased risk on this side of Jefferson County include high wind levels in the area, dry summers and proximity to the county’s vast open space and flammable vegetation.
