Natural areas surrounding quiet streets on the southern outskirts of Fort Collins
Bookended by open natural areas on the southern edges of Fort Collins, Ridgewood Hills is a laid-back, quiet community with private, homeowners association amenities and well-maintained sidewalks shaded by mature trees. The neighborhood is removed from the active atmosphere of Downtown Fort Collins, while being just a few miles from the local businesses and supermarkets of Loveland and Midtown Fort Collins. “A lot of people are drawn to Ridgewood Hills because you are within walking distance of the elementary school, and you have access to private amenities,” says Michael Malvey, a neighborhood resident and Realtor with The Group Inc. “And there’s a lot to do outdoors, with multiple neighborhood parks and paved walking trails.”
Late 20th century architecture and residents-only amenities
The Colonial Revival, modern traditional and ranch-style homes that line the streets of Ridgewood Hills were largely built in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with fenced-in back yards featuring views of the Rocky Mountains foothills. House prices range from around $520,000 to $800,000, with those on the higher end of the spectrum offering larger lots and over 3,000 square feet. Two to three-bedroom condos and townhomes can go for $380,000 to $470,000. The Ridgewood Hills HOA maintains the community’s green spaces and sports facilities, along with the residents-only pool and clubhouse. The neighborhood earns a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
