Here’s one of the best kept secret in the area. There are some special Fort Collins Hidden Neighborhoods. North East Fort Collins, East of I-25 is a special area. I frequently have buyers say, “I don’t want to live East of I-25.” Here are some great neighborhoods that they are missing out on by saying that, Clydesdale Park and Estates, Serratoga Falls, Vista Bonita and Trails at Vista Bonita. These neighborhoods are located East of I-25 just off Highway 14. The location makes for easy commuting. It also makes it quick and easy to get to almost anywhere in Fort Collins using I-25 as your main street. Each one of these neighborhoods is unique and special in their own way.
Vista Bonita one of Fort Collins Hidden Neighborhoods
Vista Bonita was first built in the 1970’s. The neighborhood was finally completed in the mid 2000’s with the last section being named “Trails at Vista Bonita.” Both of these neighborhoods share Baker Lake. This lake is 13 acres, in the center of the neighborhood. Residence use the lake for swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boats. Moreover, the neighborhood is also known for their amazing Fourth of July celebration, highlighted by a great fireworks display. People love the neighborhood because it is quiet, close to everything and love the wildlife and the feeling of being away from it all. Walking trails are also a big part of the neighborhood.
Clydesdale Park and Clydesdale Estates
Just across Highway 14 from Vista Bonita is Clydesdale Park and Clydesdale Estates. This neighborhood was developed by Stoner in the early 2000’s. The unique style of the exterior elevations of the homes makes them have a “Colorado Style.” The estates section of the neighborhood has large lots the Park section is known for the walking paths through the neighborhood and the small ponds that attract ducks and geese. Additionally, views can be amazing from this neighborhood. The undeveloped lots went to the bank during the financial crisis and the final lots were built out by Journey Homes and Richmond.
Serratoga Falls
Serratoga Falls was intended to be a high end neighborhood when it was developed. Home prices in 2007-2008 were to start in the $700,000’s and go up from there. Then the down turn in the housing market occurred and homes in that price range were not being built and people were not building custom homes. Today the neighborhood has a nice mix of homes and is delightful with extensive landscaping and open space throughout. The mountain views from the neighborhood can be breathtaking.
