A variety of homes spanning decades
The Columbine Knolls South neighborhood is concentrated south of Ken Caryl Avenue with homes that go back almost 50 years. “The north part of the neighborhood is where you’ll find more of the recent homes, but those would be from the 1980s and ‘90s,” Hofstra says. “10 different home builders built the homes so that the styles will vary.” The older houses were constructed in the early to mid-'70s, with two-story homes, split-level and ranch-style, the most prominent. Most of the roads in the neighborhood are wide, with plenty of room for parking on the side of the street, and sidewalks are built close to the curb. The typical house in the neighborhood will have three to four bedrooms and between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet of living space.Staying active in neighborhood parks with athletic amenities
At about 40 acres, most of what you’ll find at Wayside Meadows Park is extensive prairie habitat. There is a playground area, a small basketball court and the Massey Draw Trail, a paved path with entrances on Pierce Street, David Drive and Elmhurst Avenue. There is a covered picnic table in the playground area and some park benches located along the trail. On a smaller scale, West Laurel Park has a paved pathway from Laurel Avenue to David Drive that passes by a play area and two multi-use athletic areas. A small parking lot is off Laurel Avenue, close to a picnic shelter and basketball court. Between April and August, West Laurel Park is the site for monthly family-friendly movie nights.Nearby shopping centers and malls with retail and restaurants
Grocery shopping and retail therapy are close with a King Soopers location at the corner of Wadsworth Boulevard and Chatfield Avenue. Before you tackle your grocery list, grab a caffeine jolt from Starbucks in-house or pick up prescriptions from the pharmacy. Less than five miles to the north on Wadsworth, the indoor mall concept is still alive at Southwest Plaza, featuring 150 stores, two levels and a food court. The mall’s anchor stores are Dick’s Sporting Goods, Dillard’s and Macy’s.Close to the King Soopers location is the family-owned Southside Pizzeria. Run by brothers who grew up in the Southside of Denver, they strive to support local sources for their ingredients whenever possible. The same goes for the drinks they serve, as they have a wide variety of local craft beers, wines and spirits to accompany your meals.

Throughout the year, the Columbine Knolls South Homeowners Association has a summer and fall festival, a community Easter celebration and a bike parade around the 4th of July. “All the events bring a strong sense of community,” Hofstra says. “It makes it a place where people want to stay for a long time.”
