Between the active shopping districts of Midtown and the area’s quiet suburbs, Woodwest is a quaint neighborhood with walkable streets and a 1970s housing market, around 4 miles south of Old Town Fort Collins. The community is just minutes from expansive outdoor recreation areas, from Rolland Moor Park to paved walking trails, and the businesses of College Avenue. “It’s an older housing market, but people will often buy with plans to renovate,” says Carol Voorhis, a local Realtor with The Group Inc. “The neighborhood doesn’t have a homeowners association, which is against the norm for Midtown communities. It’s a big draw for homebuyers who don’t want the restrictions on renovations.”
Woodwest homes sit on quarter-acre lots with fenced-in back lots and yards dotted with mature trees and greenery.
From historic architecture to lively street festivals, Old Town Fort Collins offers a unique experience just minutes from Woodwest homes.
