One foot in the city and one foot in nature

South Littleton is a rectangular, meandering strip of land in the South Platte River Valley just east of the mountain ranges of the Continental Divide. This is an outdoor recreation country. To the west, the grand peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the South Platte River call out to the adventurous spirit. But the warm and cozy homes in this 3-square-mile neighborhood at the bottom of the well-run municipality of Littleton can be hard to leave when those jagged peaks to the west are painted white.

Something for everyone under the Rockies

In many ways, South Littleton offers the best of wild Colorado and the best of urban Denver living in one desirable suburb. There's inventory for most income ranges here, from small, manufactured homes on the piney streets next to South Platte Park listed for under $150,000 on the western edge of South Littleton to the million-dollar new traditional mansions in upscale subdivisions in great school districts on the eastern side of the locality. In between are many late-century and millennial homes in ranch or colonial styles ranging from $500,000 to $850,000. The streets are wide, and the low sidewalks have curbs that can be easily surmounted by a double stroller. Tall pine and oak trees provide protection from the bright summer sun. And in the winter? Well, it's like the locals say: there's no bad weather, only bad gear.

Lakes and trails in South Littleton

There is green all around and throughout South Littleton. Two miles away from the public South Suburban Golf Course, residents on the tonier east side have Puma Park, a quarter acre of playgrounds and multi-use fields adjacent to Wesley Powell Middle School, and Abbott Park, a similar-sized green space. Littleton and neighboring cities share an excellent trail system, and the Lee Gulch Trail, a paved and gravel trail, runs from the southeastern corner of this neighborhood northwest to terminate 5 miles away at the South Platte River in Columbine Valley. The High Line Canal and its parallel High Line Canal Trail cross into the center of South Littleton, leading through Horseshoe Park, where intrepid youth will find a BMX dirt track, and into Writers Vista Park, which wraps around and offers lovely views of the McLellan Reservoir. Bordering the western edge of South Littleton, the 800-acre green space of the Carson Nature Center and South Platte Park is where wild Colorado takes over from the suburbs. Here, visitors may fish or kayak in a few different bodies of water and waterways and observe free and captive wildlife.

Commuting via the D Line

The D Line of Denver's excellent light rail system has its final stop right on the west side of South Littleton. Commuters heading to Downtown Denver can take the light rail from the Littleton-Mineral Station to the 18th–California Station in under 30 minutes. Drivers can take Route 85 / Santa Fe Drive, 13 miles north to reach Downtown. Littleton allows residents to keep one foot in nature and one foot in the city.

The foodie movement has arrived

Like the rest of Denver, Littleton has been mildly caught up in the foodie movement. Eater Magazine recommends Romano's Italian Restaurant in Littleton proper on its list of 19 Places for Primo Pizza in Denver. Sunflower Asian Café in South Littleton made the magazine's list of 20 Must-Try Chinese Restaurants in Denver. Patrons will find chain restaurants, shops and an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in the Aspen Grove shopping mall on Route 85 northwest of the community. There is a family medical practice, Our Lady of Hope Medical Clinic, and a Target a few blocks southeast of the neighborhood.
