A west Fort Collins suburb steps away from City Park

Located 3 miles west of downtown Fort Collins, Mulberry Hill is a small residential community within minutes of highly rated public schools and the expansive City Park. Old Town Fort Collins is a short drive away and is full of local shops and popular restaurants. With arborous street names and mature trees lining the lanes, most of the neighborhood has a quiet, laid-back feel while still being close to the city’s active downtown district. “The area surrounding City Park is one of the most desirable markets in Fort Collins,” says Ian Johnston, a Realtor with C3 Real Estate Solutions who has lived in the city for 13 years. “There’s a diverse housing stock and you’re close to the city’s biggest park while still being close to the charming streets of Old Town.”

Homes in Mulberry Hill are generally more affordable than the average Fort Collins neighborhood, with price tags ranging from $450,000 to $700,000.
