Columbine Knolls
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Columbine Knolls lies in unincorporated Jefferson County with a Littleton mailing address, one of the older tracts in the Columbine area. Ranch, split level, and bi level houses date from 1968 through 1985 on lots of roughly 8,000 to 12,000 square feet, along wide streets and cul de sacs where the original plantings have had fifty years to fill in. The Columbine Knolls Village shopping center, with a grocery store, a pharmacy, and a public fast charging bank, sits at the edge of the tract. West Ken Caryl Avenue and South Pierce Street carry local traffic, South Wadsworth Boulevard is about five minutes out, and Jeffco Public Schools serves the area.
