A range of homes and yard sizes
Houses in Daniels sit on comfortable lots that vary in size, giving its winding streets an easy, unplanned look. Larger Craftsman-style homes tend to offer less yard space, while brick ranch-style houses afford plenty of room for a garden. The Foothills Green Townhomes community provides fully updated multifamily options. Across West Eighth Avenue, a small strip of stately homes stands out along Union Street. These properties display Spanish and Mediterranean influences with arched entries and feature wide driveways and multicar garages. While these 4,000-square-foot homes easily top $1 million, most single-family homes sell between $400,000 and $600,000, while a 1-bedroom, 700-square-foot condo unit may sell for around $250,000.

Pick up the Lakewood Gulch Trail at the corner of Simms Street and 12th Avenue. Skirt the edge of Bellows Park, a 10-acre area initially owned by the medical manufacturing company COBE. Bellows Park honors that scientific legacy with a vibrant, science-themed red and blue picnic shelter flanked by sculptures of a double helix and a molecule. Nearby Maple Grove Park sits on the banks of the Maple Grove Reservoir. This 11-acre park offers a brightly decorated playground with wacky climbing structures, slides and swings that resemble illustrations from a Dr. Seuss book. The park also provides horseshoes, volleyball and sports fields, grilling stands and picnic tables. Looking for a challenging mountain hike? It’s a 5-mile drive west to Apex Park, which provides a true foothills experience. A chuckling stream babbles alongside much of the 10-mile trail, and dense woodlands provide welcome shade along the west end.
