Clarendon Hills
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Clarendon Hills sits just south of Harmony Rd and east of Shields St in southwest Fort Collins, with McGraw Elementary on Hinsdale Dr at the neighborhood's edge. Homes were built between 1990 and 2010 on 0.20 to 0.50 acre lots, single-family houses under mature trees plus a later phase called Homestead at Clarendon Hills, and values now run from about $700K to $1.3M. Ponds, greenbelts, and winding paths link the blocks, and directly across Shields St the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area preserves pre-settlement shortgrass prairie with a raptor observatory at the Shields St entrance and the 2.4-mile Fossil Creek Trail running west to Luther Ln. Webber Middle School is about a mile west on Seneca St, and Harmony Rd gives a straight run east to College Ave in about 4 minutes and to I-25, about 6 miles out, in roughly 12.
