Located in southwest Loveland, Bonnell West delivers some of the best foothill views you’ll find this close to town. Lots range from about a half acre to just under an acre — not massive, but meaningful. Big enough for a real yard, a garden, space between you and your neighbors. The neighborhood is quiet and serene in the way that established southwest Loveland tends to be, with a peaceful character that’s hard to put a price on and easy to fall in love with.

West of Mariana Butte and tucked away from the main corridors of Loveland, Horsetail Ranch Estates is for people who mean it when they say they want space. Lots run approximately two acres, and the roads here have a distinct character: the only cars you’ll see driving past are people heading to a specific house. No cut-through traffic, no random passersby. The kind of peace that genuinely feels earned because it is.

Off of and behind Bald Road, South Moffett Park is Loveland’s most expansive residential acreage option in this guide. Lots run approximately four acres — and the open zoning is the feature that makes this neighborhood genuinely unique. Homeowners have significant flexibility in how they use the land without requiring special approvals for every project (though permits are still required). If you’ve been dreaming about a workshop, a barn, horses, a large garden, or simply wide open land that feels entirely yours to shape, South Moffett Park deserves a serious look.

Living near Downtown Loveland means the city’s arts scene, galleries, locally owned restaurants, and boutique shopping are your backyard. Loveland has a genuine creative identity — anchored in part by its long history as a sculpture and fine arts hub — and the streets surrounding downtown carry that energy. Older homes with character, mature trees, and a neighborhood feel that’s deeply rooted in what Loveland actually is rather than what it’s becoming.

Kinston sits in east Loveland near the I-25 and Highway 34 corridor, adjacent to the Centerra area and near the Chapungu Sculpture Park and Gardens. It’s a strong choice for people who want walkable access to Loveland’s retail and dining options along the Highway 34 corridor, fast I-25 access for commuters, and the energy of one of Loveland’s most actively developing commercial areas — all without sacrificing a sense of neighborhood.

Lakeshore at Centerra puts you at the center of Loveland’s most amenity-dense corridor — with shopping, dining, and services all within easy walking or biking distance. The Centerra area has matured into one of Northern Colorado’s strongest retail and lifestyle destinations, and Lakeshore residents get to live inside it rather than drive to it. The lifestyle here leans convenient, connected, and social.

The name is apt. Seven Lakes sits surrounded by water — Boyd Lake, Horseshoe Lake, Westerdale Lake, and several others create an environment where water views and water access are woven into daily life, even for homes that don’t sit directly on a shoreline. Not every home in Seven Lakes has direct water access, but the feeling of living among the lakes is constant. Add in its easy access to 29th Street retail and grocery options, plus a quick route to South Fort Collins, and Seven Lakes manages to deliver a true waterfront lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of being well-connected to the rest of Loveland.

Parkside Village is situated just north of Bode Decker Lake — a newer neighborhood with homes built in 2021 that bring a modern, move-in-ready quality to a genuinely scenic setting. The proximity to water is immediate, and the neighborhood also puts you minutes from Mariana Butte Golf Course — a bonus for households where the front nine is part of the weekend routine as much as the lake is.

Waterfront North is the most direct expression of lakefront living in Loveland. Located near Boyd Lake, residents here have access to private docks — meaning Boyd Lake is not a backdrop, it’s a destination you access directly from your neighborhood. This is where you keep the paddleboard, the kayak, or the boat, and where summer evenings happen on the water rather than just near it.

Country Club Estates has the feel of a neighborhood that’s been well-loved and well-lived-in for a long time — mature landscaping, real lot sizes, and a character that only comes from decades of people actually putting down roots. Located near Loveland’s golf community, it also shows up in the Front Nine era below, because the two lives aren’t mutually exclusive here.

Mariana Springs delivers on the core promise: real lots, mature trees, and the kind of backyard where you actually spend time rather than just look at. It’s a neighborhood that appeals strongly to families who have outgrown smaller spaces and want a home that fits how they actually live — with room for a trampoline, a garden, a fire pit, and still space left over.

Manzanita Estates is another established Loveland neighborhood where the lot sizes tell you something about what life here looks like. These are homes with breathing room — between them and inside them. The mature landscaping characteristic of established Loveland neighborhoods gives Manzanita Estates a shade and a settled quality that newer developments are still years away from achieving.

Vanguard-Famleco appears in both the Park Stroll and Quiet Street eras — because it genuinely delivers on both. It’s the kind of established Loveland neighborhood where parks are within walking distance, streets are low-traffic and quiet, and the combination creates exactly the environment that families with young children tend to describe as the one they were looking for.

Millennium is a Loveland neighborhood that appeals to families who want the walkable, park-connected lifestyle without sacrificing the comfort of a well-established residential feel. Green space within reach, connected sidewalks, and the kind of neighborhood energy where you actually get to know the people around you.

Silver Glen rounds out the Park Stroll era with a neighborhood character built around accessible outdoor living. Parks within walking distance mean that weekend mornings don’t require loading the car — just the stroller, or the dog, or the kids’ bikes. The ease of that access is something residents consistently say they notice and appreciate once they’re living it.

Fairway West earns its place in both the Quiet Street and Front Nine eras — because the golf course setting that gives it its name also gives it a residential character defined by green space, low traffic, and a beautiful backdrop from the backyard. Streets here feel intentionally calm, and the neighborhood has the established, well-tended quality that comes with years of people who take pride in where they live.

As noted in the Park Stroll era, Vanguard-Famleco lives at the intersection of walkable and quiet — a combination that’s harder to find than it sounds. The through-traffic is minimal, the streets feel residential and settled, and the park access keeps the neighborhood lively in the right ways without the noise and activity that comes with busier corridors.

Copper Ridge has the Quiet Street character in the truest sense — cul-de-sacs and low-traffic residential layouts that keep the neighborhood feeling private and unhurried. It’s the kind of place where kids ride bikes in the street without worrying about traffic, and where the pace of the neighborhood matches the pace you’re trying to live at.

Located near Mahaffey Park, Riano Ridge is one of Loveland’s more diverse new construction offerings — with multiple builders active in the community and a range of product types including paired homes and single-family homes. Price points run from the high $300s to approximately $1 million, making Riano Ridge one of the few new construction neighborhoods in Loveland with genuine entry-level and move-up options in the same community.

Lakeview is a Richmond Homes community near Boyd Lake with easy access to the Centerra corridor. Richmond is known for offering meaningful customization options across their floor plans, so buyers here get the new construction experience with the ability to make the home feel genuinely personal before they move in. The location near Boyd Lake and Centerra gives Lakeview residents both natural and retail amenities within easy reach. Prices start in the low to mid $700s.

Built by Aspen Homes in northwest Loveland off of Wilson Avenue, Wilson Commons offers single-family homes from the low $400s to the mid $600s. The location in northwest Loveland gives residents quick access to Fort Collins and puts you on the doorstep of the hiking trails on Loveland’s west side. One of the more unexpected bonuses of this location: frequent elk sightings. If you want a new home that still feels connected to the natural character of Northern Colorado, Wilson Commons delivers that combination in a way that most new construction communities don’t.

Country Club Estates sits at the intersection of the golf lifestyle and the established Loveland yard lifestyle — which is why it appears in both eras. Mature lots, established character, and proximity to Loveland’s golf community make it a natural home for buyers who want both the space and the sport.

Mariana Butte is Loveland’s premier golf course neighborhood — homes here back directly onto the Mariana Butte Golf Course, one of the most visually striking courses in Northern Colorado with its foothills backdrop and dramatic terrain. If the backyard view matters to you — and in this neighborhood, it very much does — Mariana Butte delivers a view that competes with anywhere in NoCo.

Fairway West lives up to its name — the golf course setting defines the neighborhood’s visual character and its street-level calm. It’s a neighborhood that appeals to golfers for obvious reasons, but also to people who simply appreciate what a golf course does for the landscape around a neighborhood: the green space, the quiet, the unobstructed sightlines that most residential areas can’t offer.

Knollwood Estates rounds out the golf neighborhood cluster with an established residential character and the proximity to course life that defines this era. For buyers who want the golf lifestyle woven into their neighborhood — not just accessible from it — Knollwood Estates belongs on the list.
