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.
Commuters in South Littleton will appreciate easy access to Highway 470.
South Platte Park is a favorite with local cyclists.

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.
Some lucky homeowners in South Littleton have great views of McLellen Reservoir.
Some homes in South Littleton are a little dated.

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.
South Platte Park is a well loved nature area by South Littleton.
Take your bike out for a scenic experience at Writers Vista Park.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
