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.

Expansive estate homes and HOA amenities

Hearthfire’s architectural scene is comprised of modern craftsman-style homes, Colonial Revivals and bungalows built between the late 1990s and 2016. Most houses have fenced-in back yards, two-car attached garages and quarter-acre lots. Homes on the southwest side of the community back up to Richard’s Lake, where locals can launch kayaks and paddle boards for a drift on the water. “Walking paths wind through the neighborhood connecting the area’s estate-style homes,” says Larsen. With an average home price of $1.01 million, costs are significantly more than the Fort Collins average of $550,000, with homes going for $700,000 to $1.6 million. The Hearthfire Homeowners Association has quarterly maintenance fees, with a clubhouse and outdoor pool for residents. Additionally, the area sees significantly less reports of crime, with a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
