Westchase is a small residential pocket with walkable lanes near Fossil Creek Reservoir
Just a stone’s throw from the Fossil Creek Reservoir, Westchase is a quiet residential community within a short drive of some of the most popular parks in Fort Collins. On the south side of town, the neighborhood’s walkable streets allow easy access to nearby schools and green spaces. “Some of the biggest draws to Westchase are the highly rated schools and the home prices,” says Rob Crouch, a local Realtor with Roots Real Estate. “You can get more square footage here for lower prices compared to other nearby neighborhoods.”
Modern traditional and Craftsman-style homes
Large modern traditional and Craftsman-style homes built mostly in the early to mid-2000s line the streets of Westchase, and large lots with fenced backyards are common. Walkways wind through the neighborhood’s green spaces, connecting the area’s quiet residential streets. Houses on small lots with around 2,500 square feet or less range from $515,000 to $700,000, while larger builds on more expansive lots can go for $730,000 to $1.5 million. Two-bedroom condos in the north part of the neighborhood range from $370,000 to $390,000. “There are a lot of families and kids in the neighborhood,” Crouch says. “And while some parts of the community are densely populated, you still have private, walkable streets.” Westchase has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
