Troutman Park

"Safe neighborhood with a lot of young families. It’s also conveniently close to the mall, stores, parks, and a greenway"

"My wife and I take the dog to the park just about everyday and use the tennis courts at Troutman Park. If you are considering moving here...walk through the park and you will be hard pressed to find a bigger neighborhood park in Fort Collins unless you go to City Park or Fossil Creek Park. In the summer you will see the neighborhood kids fishing in the ponds at Troutman. Most homes in this neighborhood have large backyards! We also walk to Target on Saturdays and it's not to far of a drive to the mall. The bike trail is nice and it attaches to all the other bike trails (Spring Creek Trail and Poudre Trail). I like the restaurants: We can walk to Hibachi and McCoy's Morning Glory breakfast without crossing any major streets. We also can take the bridge at the end of Troutman Pkway to Starbucks that's inside Barnes and Noble. My wife and I are active and love to walk rather than drive. Some cons: if you ride public transportation...you would have to walk to harmony or horsetooth but everyone in the neighborhood owns vehicles. Another con is not much for nightlife...you have to drive to LoDo in Denver or Old Town. There is a cool neighborhood pub called Pappy's that has good food and Irish brews on tap. We only moved to expand to get a bigger home."
