Just a mile from the Horsetooth Reservoir and the surrounding natural areas, Stadium Heights has seemingly endless nearby outdoor recreation offerings while being close to downtown Fort Collins.
The Horsetooth Reservoir was formed in 1949 with the completion of four dams used to divert water from the Colorado Western Slope to be used for the area’s agricultural lands and drinking water for Fort Collins. Today, the reservoir is one of the most popular recreation areas in the city. “It gets pretty busy in the summer,” says Mike Sibbald, a local Realtor with Elevations Real Estate. “The area is known for its cliff jumping sites. It’s popular among Fort Collins residents, but people also travel from out of town for day and weekend trips. The campsites fill up quickly in the summer.” On the water, visitors can be found fishing, paddle boarding, swimming and tubing, while the surrounding lands have campsites, rock climbing spots and over 20 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
The 18-hole Aggie Greens Disc Golf Course lies between Stadium Heights and the reservoir on Dixon Canyon Road. Spring Canyon Park has sports facilities for soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball and sand volleyball. Parents can bring their kids to use the large playground and splash pad, while dog owners can bring their companions to the 2-acre enclosed dog park. The park also marks the beginning of the Spring Creek Trail, a 9-mile paved path that connects city parks and ends across town in the Riverbend Ponds Natural Area.
The neighborhood’s residential streets have a mix of single-family and multi-unit options. Brick ranch-style homes are common, and many have been converted into duplexes. The Willow Lane and Westgate condominium communities have two and three-bedroom homes ranging from $350,000 to $450,000. Stand-alone homes have three to four bedrooms and price tags ranging from$430,000 to $700,000. Most of the community’s homes sit on quarter-acre lots and were built in the 1970s and 1980s.

The closest grocery store, King Soopers, is 2 miles from Stadium Heights. Across the street, Cheba Hut serves a variety of toasted sub sandwiches, while the Emporium Sports Bar has classic pub bites, pool tables and a rotating selection of draft beer. Mythmaker Brewing is a locally owned taproom that makes small-batch beer with around 15 brews on tap. The brewery also hosts regular trivia and bingo nights. The Holiday Twin Drive-in Theater lies just south of the neighborhood and is one of only seven drive-in theaters remaining in Colorado.
West Prospect Road can take drivers 3 miles east to Colorado State University and College Avenue, one of Fort Collins’s main thoroughfares. There are also a handful of Transfort bus stops along West Prospect. Loveland is a 15-mile drive away via state Route 287, while downtown Denver is 67 miles away on Interstate 25.
