Long-standing trees in Clarendon Hills
Clarendon Hills is a south Fort Collins community with expansive natural areas to the west and dozens of convenient shopping and dining options to the east. The neighborhood features newer homes and larger lots compared to those closer to downtown, with walkable, tree-lined streets and well-maintained sidewalks. “One of the big draws to the area is the nature,” says Jan Thayer, a local Realtor with RE/MAX who has been selling in the community since it was developed in the late 1980s. “Along Ashford Lane, you will see tall trees with tags signifying that they aren’t to be cut down. They’ve been standing far longer than the neighborhood itself.”
