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.
