Indian Hills is a popular central Fort Collins neighborhood due to magnificent trees, large lots and excellent proximity to downtown Fort Collins. Home styles include sprawling ranches, traditional 1960s era two story and 4-level contemporary homes. Extensive interior updating has taken place in many Indian Hills homes but little or no tear-down renovation has yet occurred so exterior architecture has a consistent mid-century feel. Inside you’ll likely find an expansive stone fireplace in the living area, original wood floors and exposed ceiling rafters. Outside a typical Indian Hills home you’ll be taken back by the sheer size of the lot. Almost all are around 1/3 of an acre with a few lots reaching half an acre. Most backyards here are extremely private have the feel of an old growth forest due to a canopy of massive Spruce, Cottonwood and Ash trees.
