Northridge
Multi-story properties from the 1980s and after
Homes in Northridge are found along sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs and have large, well-kept lawns decorated with mature trees and shrubbery. Most of these properties are multi-story and built between the 1980s and 2000s. Some have new traditional architecture with simple vinyl exteriors, slanted roofs and a front porch area, while others sport a more contemporary design with a tucked-in garage. There are also Craftsman-inspired homes with features such as stone accents, front gables and multiple pointed roofs. Prices range between $750,000 and $1.2 million, depending on property size. A handful of Craftsman and Tudor-inspired estates in the neighborhood can cost $1.4 million to $2 million. “The value for the size of the home tends to be better in Northridge, compared to the rest of Highlands Ranch,” Larson says. Multi-story townhouses and contemporary condos are another housing option in Northridge. These properties are smaller and go for $375,000 to $425,000. According to Larson, Northridge residents must join the larger Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) and follow its guidelines for home maintenance. This membership comes with access to the association’s recreational amenities and social events. However, Northridge itself does not have a sub association.

Northridge’s parks, recreation center and tourist attraction
Several green spaces dot the Northridge area. “There are numerous parks and athletic fields, plus miles and miles of trails that make it an active community,” Larson says. Northridge Park has a playground, baseball field and bocce ball court. The Northridge Recreation Center is part of the HRCA and offers indoor recreation facilities such a running track, tennis pavilion, golf simulator and swimming pools. Dad Clark Park is another major community park. In addition to its playground and walking trails, there’s a dog park and a community garden with 20 plots called The Potato Patch. Other green spaces in Northridge include Diamond K Park, James G Toepfer Park and Cougar Run Park. All three have playground areas and a basketball court.The Highlands Ranch Mansion is part of a 50-acre historic park in the neighborhood that acts as both an event venue and a tourist attraction. Visitors can attend educational lectures or take self-guided tours through the building. The mansion sits within a working ranch and is surrounded by historic barns, pastures and a windmill.

Additionally, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) has bus stops along S Broadway, Highlands Ranch Parkway, County Line Road and Dad Clark Drive.UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital is about a mile west of the neighborhood.
