New neighborhood near Golden Ponds

At the edge of Longmont’s suburban landscape, West Saint Vrain is a new community that’s still being developed and surrounded by open spaces next to an airport. The Golden Ponds Nature Area is located in the northern part of the neighborhood and has both water features and recreation. Homes are being built on streets that branch out from Rogers Road, the main thoroughfare, putting them close to nearby retail on Hover Street. “The last few years, a lot of new people have been coming to the neighborhood – the town is growing around it,” says Broker Associate and Team Leader Regan Sample with eXp Realty.

Open spaces with wildlife and recreation

The Golden Ponds Nature Area sits on the northern half of West Saint Vrain, providing an array of outdoor recreation. There are four ponds with fishing piers along their shorelines. “My family likes to hang out down there by the ponds. A lot of people like to go fishing there or bird watching,” Sample says. Multiple picnic shelters outfitted with barbecue grills dot the area. The Saint Vrain Creek cuts through the open space, and a wooden bridge spans it underneath a man-made waterfall. Several paved and gravel trails wind throughout the area and connect with the Saint Vrain Greenway, which travels 8 miles to Sandstone Ranch. Walkers and bicyclists can enjoy these waterfront views and admire local wildlife such as blue herons, beavers and bald eagles. The entrance to the Golden Ponds area is marked by a statue of former landowner Vernon Golden teaching a little boy how to fish. In addition to its natural land, the West Saint Vrain neighborhood has access to a city park. Rogers Grove Park functions as an arboretum and an outdoor learning center. There’s a community garden and an orchard filled with apple trees for patrons to explore and learn about growing food. Roger Groves also has an outdoor amphitheater, a pond for fishing and trails for walking or biking.
