Modern subdivisions and mature trees surrounding the Colorado National Golf Club

The residential streets of Vista Ridge are intertwined with verdant fairways and greens of the Colorado National Golf Course. On the southern outskirts of Erie, Vista Ridge has 21st-century homes, luxury architecture and a homeowners association. Neighborhood homes are within roughly a mile walk of the nearest community park, with the shops and restaurants of East Baseline Road just south of the area’s residential streets. “Vista Ridge is unique compared to other nearby communities because it has old-growth trees that give it an established feel,” says Brie Fowler, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “It allows for privacy between neighbors and for lush landscaping in backyards.” Many homes feature picturesque views of the Rocky Mountains Front Range, with both Boulder and Denver within a 25-mile drive.

Vista Ridge is close to small towns with plenty of restaurants and stores to shop at.

A round of 18 with Rocky Mountain Views and HOA amenities

The Colorado National Golf Club winds between the subdivisions of Vista Ridge, with Rocky Mountain views and well-maintained greens. The club is home to an 18-hole course, an indoor practice facility and a restaurant. The Vista Ridge Homeowners Association maintains a community pool, tennis courts and a clubhouse complete with a fitness center. “The community center is one of the big draws to the area,” says Fowler, “and the pool is a hit in the summer. Locals like the privacy of the residents-only amenities.” Most of the area’s subdivisions have a small park with a playground and picnic tables. The 10-acre Columbine Mine Park has pickleball courts, a baseball diamond and a walking trail.

A quick trip to Boulder or Denver

Colorado state Highway 7 spans around 15 miles west to Boulder and roughly 12 miles east to Brighton. Interstate 25 lies just east of Vista Ridge and can take drivers about 23 miles south to Downtown Denver. “Vista Ridge is in the ideal location for commuters to either metro area,” Fowler says. “You’re within a 20 to 30-minute drive from both Denver and Boulder.” The Denver International Airport is around 25 miles southeast.
