Just 3 miles south of downtown Fort Collins, Scotch Pines is a midtown community less than a mile from a dozen local eateries and community parks. As its name suggests, this late 1900s neighborhood’s streets are lined with mature evergreens and oaks, and many yards have low-water-sue landscaping due to the arid climate of Colorado’s Front Range.
Scotch Pines has a combination of single-family homes and condo complexes. Colonial Revivals, ranch-style homes and split-level houses built throughout the 1970s and 1980s range from $450,000 to $650,000 and sit on quarter-acre lots. Most homes have attached two-car garages and fenced-in back yards. Scotch Pines Condominiums has two and three-bedroom, 900-square-foot units ranging from $250,000 to $310,000.
The Scotch Pines Village Shopping Center sits in the neighborhood’s northeast corner and is home to a Sprouts Farmers Market. “Walkability to the shopping center is a huge draw to the neighborhood,” says Mary Jo Scarborough, a local real estate agent with Grey Rock Realty. “My clients who live in Scotch Pines love being able to walk to the popular restaurants there without needing to walk along a busy road.” Great Harvest Bread Co. serves fresh-baked bread made from scratch every morning, with a rotating selection of baked goods. A few doors down is Island Grill, an American and Mexican fusion restaurant with tropical decor, with menu items ranging from chicken fritters to steak tacos. The eatery also has live music every Friday and Saturday night. Elevation 5003 Distillery is a woman-owned business serving locally distilled spirits and hand-crafted cocktails. Other nearby options for groceries include Whole Foods and King Soopers 2 miles west on South College Avenue.
O’Dea Elementary School is around a half mile from the neighborhood and earns a B-plus overall grade from Niche. Also with a B-plus, Boltz Middle School is a mile south and offers a dual language immersion program to those who began dual language learning at the elementary level. Fort Collins High School has an A-minus rating and is listed as the third-best public high school in Larimer County by Niche. The high school has over 60 extracurricular organizations, including banjo club, Knowledge Bowl and drone flying club.
Leisure Park is just west of the neighborhood’s residential streets and has a basketball court, a playground and open field space. The Collindale Golf Course is a public 18-hole course with evergreen-lined fairways. After a round, golfers can enjoy a meal on the patio of the clubhouse restaurant, C.B. & Potts. Heading north on Lemay Avenue will bring residents to the Spring Creek Trail, a 9-mile paved path that connects many Fort Collins parks. Edora Park has facilities for baseball, tennis, disc golf and horseshoe, along with a popular playground and a skate park. There are over 100 miles of biking and hiking trails within 15 miles of Fort Collins, from the rocky trails of the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space to the Poudre River Trail.
Scotch Pines residents can reach downtown Fort Collins by driving 3 miles north on College Avenue. The city is known for its biker-friendly amenities, with over 200 miles of bike lanes throughout the community. There are 25 bus routes that serve the Fort Collins area, with a handful of stops just north of Scotch Pines along East Drake Road.
