Quiet, natural streets in north Fort Collins
In Hearthfire, lakes and tributaries are in every direction and residents are never far from waterside recreation. Around 6 miles north of Old Town Fort Collins, this upscale neighborhood has winding walking paths connecting its quiet streets, with minimal traffic allowing for an undisturbed atmosphere. “There’s a close tie to nature in Hearthfire,” says Kareen Larsen, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Alliance. “Most of the homes here back up to the water or natural areas, where there are birds and cattails. You get the best of both worlds with a quiet, natural atmosphere while also being just a few minutes from Old Town.” The community teeters on the edge of suburban and rural living, with hundreds of acres of farmland and open fields to the east and views of the Rocky Mountains Front Range to the west.
Greenbriar Park is the perfect space for outdoor enthusiasts.
