Lake Sherwood HOA amenities

Waterfront homes and a private homeowners association set Lake Sherwood apart from its surrounding Fort Collins neighborhoods. Luxury homes come with views of the Nelson Reservoir, while calm, quiet streets are lined with tall trees and foliage. “On the south side of Fort Collins is where you start to see the lakefront communities,” says April Neuhaus, a local real estate agent with Neuhaus Real Estate. “Prices start to increase, because you’re not just paying for the home, but for residents-only access to the lake and accompanying amenities.”
The Lake Sherwood clubhouse and pool are very popular in the warmer months.
