As part of the series of Columbine Knolls neighborhoods in the south suburbs of Denver, near the community of Littleton, Columbine Knolls South II is one of two more recent neighborhoods. “Ken Caryl Avenue is the dividing line between the older and the newer subdivisions,” says Kathleen Hofstra, a Realtor with RE/MAX Professionals, who has been selling houses for over 30 years. “Knolls II is south of Ken Caryl and is the newest of the three, and it was developed in the late 1970s.” Like the other two, the Homeowners Association is very active, with various events sprinkled throughout the year, including an egg hunt during the Easter season, a community-wide garage sale in the summer and a tour of the neighborhood’s Christmas decorations in December. The group also coordinates various recycling and shredding events throughout the year. There are rules that the homeowners association enforces, including for signs and flags that are displayed on properties. The dues are about $300 a year.
Winding roads with attractive houses
With a price range from $650,000 to a million dollars, the homes are primarily colonial revival, split-level and modern contemporary. As you drive down the winding roads of the neighborhoods, the houses are on quarter-acre lots with neighbors close by, and the sidewalks are close to the curb. The oldest homes in the area are from the late 1970s, including a side-split modern design where the second level of bedrooms is above the garage. The main floor is the living space with a kitchen and family room. The typical home will have three to four bedrooms and between 2,500 and 4,100 square feet of living space.

Need for a vehicle
Less than a ten-minute drive to the east is the light rail station at the corner of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. Close to this stop is over 1,000 parking spaces. The Regional Transportation District runs the light rail system, and the station is about 15 miles south of downtown Denver. A car is needed since the bus routes don’t go that far south in the Denver metro area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
