Mission Hills
1970s Colonial Revivals and eco-friendly incentives
The architectural scene here is comprised of split-levels, bi-levels and Colonial Revivals built in the mid-to-late 1970s. Single-family homes range from $500,000 to $900,000. There is a selection of one and two-bedroom condo units along Columbia Road ranging from $220,000 to $310,000. Many of the yards in Mission Hills feature native plants and low-water-use landscaping in efforts to reduce water waste in the arid Front Range climate. The City of Fort Collins has numerous programs encouraging eco-friendly gardening and landscaping, including the Xeriscape Incentive Program, which grants up to $1,000 to homeowners who convert high-water turf grass to low-water landscaping. The city also offers discounts for building garden boxes and rebates for water-efficient irrigation systems.

Edora Park recreation and the Spring Creek Trail
Edora Park is a mile northeast of the neighborhood and has facilities for baseball, soccer, tennis and horseshoe. The park’s 18-hole disc golf course serves as the main course for the North Gate Disc Golf Club. Additionally, Edora Park features a playground, a skate park and a community garden. “There are over 200 miles of bikeable surfaces throughout the area, including paved paths, mountain biking trails and bike lanes,” says Mike Sibbald, a local Realtor with Elevations Real Estate. “It’s quite easy to access downtown Fort Collins by bike from practically every neighborhood in the city. I take my bike to work most days, and that’s a common practice around here.” The Spring Creek Trail is a 9-mile paved path that connects many Fort Collins parks while winding along its namesake tributary. Spring Park is a mile away via the trail and has baseball diamonds, a soccer field, picnic tables and a playground.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
