South College Heights is a neighborhood popular with home buyers who are drawn to Old Town Fort Collins but need more square footage at an affordable price and don’t want to sacrifice on location. South College Heights fits the bill beautifully. It’s still within easy biking distance to Old Town Fort Collins; just hop on Stover Street for a pleasant ride with light car traffic.

You’ll also enjoy easy access to Spring Park which includes two ball fields, a sport field, playground and picnic shelter.

Indian Hills is a popular central Fort Collins neighborhood due to magnificent trees, large lots and excellent proximity to downtown Fort Collins. Home styles include sprawling ranches, traditional 1960s era two story and 4-level contemporary homes. Extensive interior updating has taken place in many Indian Hills homes but little or no tear-down renovation has yet occurred so exterior architecture has a consistent mid-century feel. Inside you’ll likely find an expansive stone fireplace in the living area, original wood floors and exposed ceiling rafters. Outside a typical Indian Hills home you’ll be taken back by the sheer size of the lot. Almost all are around 1/3 of an acre with a few lots reaching half an acre. Most backyards here are extremely private have the feel of an old growth forest due to a canopy of massive Spruce, Cottonwood and Ash trees.
