Tucked between Horsetooth and Harmony, laying claim to Warren Lake and Warren Park, The Landings offers everything from condos to lakefront estates. The Landings delivers Midtown Fort Collins convenience with a quieter, more established feel.

About The Landings
If you read about the FoCo Free Agent, you might learn that I lived in Ohio. I earned a doctorate at The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!), where we had a lot of fun making sure everyone used “The” when addressing Ohio State. It’s The Ohio State University. It’s right there. In the logo.
The Landings is kind of like that. I don’t know why, but nobody ever just says “Landings.” It’s always The Landings. It’s like a sign of respect.
And perhaps The Landings has earned it. While this is a well-resourced and well-educated bunch, I respect the sense of community and the sense of stewardship surrounding its most valuable asset, Warren Lake. You can read a little more about Warren Lake in my post about Warren Shores.
The strong sense of community was on display at the summer 2025 celebration of the 150th anniversary of the building of Warren Lake. Held at the shared lakefront spot along Breakwater, the team of leaders from the 5 HOAs surrounding the Lake pulled together a lot more than a picnic.
Residents who were experts on Warren Lake’s history and ecology set up educational stands, there were seminars on the main stage to educate the community about efforts to control the algae blooms on Warren Lake, and there were food trucks and music galore. The Landings is a close-knit community that seems to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
Life in The Landings
Location
If you look at your right hand with your palm facing you, that’s the shape of The Landings. Warren Lake forms that meaty area between the base of your thumb and the other fingers, and Warren Park is your thumb.
That means there’s actually a little distance to walk to Warren Park from the main (palm) area of The Landings.
However, Harmony is the southern border where the neighborhood narrows like your wrist. West you have Boardwalk winding over to JFK Drive, and east there is Lemay Avenue.
The City of Fort Collins generally describes Midtown as the belt between Prospect Road to the north and Harmony Road to the south. Strictly speaking, then, The Landings is in Midtown. Warren Shores is, too, but as described in that post, Warren Shores is considered by many to be in south Fort Collins.
Either way, these two neighborhoods feel a little different. To me, The Landings feels very Midtown. The real estate market seems to agree, judging by prices.
Getting Around The Landings
I love to walk in The Landings with George the Coonhound. The sidewalks are great, the yards are nice, and most cars you see will slow down, wave and occasionally comment on the marvel that is George. The roads wind and meander, but you won’t lose your bearings if you pay attention to the mountains, and to the Lake.
A favorite walk is along “the berm” that is atop the dam and walls that contain Warren Lake. The berm is where you’re most likely to meet your Warren Shores neighbors, unless you score a dinner invitation.
When waters are low in every season but spring, you’ll see people down on the “beach” with their dogs and maybe their fishing poles. Be aware, though, that the Lake and its walking paths are private-access only, one of the privileges enjoyed by residents of The Landings.
All students (elementary, middle, high school) can get school bus service in The Landings. It really is necessary because if they were to walk or ride a bike, major street crossings would be required.
If you ask Google, the best way to get downtown without a car is to cycle yourself over to the Mason Trail. But just like the kids needing the bus, plan your route carefully and plan to use some sidewalks, because Harmony and Horsetooth are not very bike-friendly. You’ll have to carefully navigate to the Power Trail that is a few blocks east, too. Both major trails are worth the trip because once on those, you can get almost anywhere in Fort Collins on your bike.
What To Do In The Landings
The Landings is just loaded with things to do. There is a neighborhood pool, tennis courts, Warren Lake, Warren Park and Landings Park. Landings Park sits just across Boardwalk, technically outside the neighborhood boundary, but locals consider it theirs.
Western edge residents can walk or bike to Foothills Mall for movies, Trader Joe’s, and numerous restaurants and shops. Perhaps you’re lucky enough to work in the Landings Office park, and can even walk or bike to work.
Collindale Golf Course is a major draw for residents. Collindale is one of the most popular courses in the state, and operates year-round. The golf course also features C.B. & Potts, a popular restaurant and bar.
The nearby Harmony corridor offers convenient shopping—hardware stores, Sam’s Club, and retail along JFK Drive. With easy access to Lemay, Horsetooth, and Harmony, you’re within 10-15 minutes of anywhere in Fort Collins.
Not everyone in The Landings can access Warren Lake, but the 5 HOAs along the Lake do have private access, with permits that must be purchased to launch watercraft on the Lake. A recurring challenge is the annual algae blooms in the late summer months. Community leaders are tackling the issue as best they can, and if you look carefully you can see the aerators bubbling away under the lake–one of many tools the community has invested in to combat the blooms.
It’s a short bike ride to the Power Trail, the Mason Trail, or the Stover bike route, but be cautious if you find yourself on Horsetooth or Harmony, two of the less bike-friendly roads in Fort Collins.
Homes in The Landings
Market Overview
Here are some notes I compiled about The Landings from homes.com in November 2025:
- Median single family sale price of $702,000 (12-month median).
- On average homes spend 57 days on the market
- Almost 79% of the homes or condominiums are owned, 21% are rented.
- Average price per square foot is $283
- In the last 12 months 21 homes sold. There are 639 homes, so that’s an annual turnover rate of 3%.
- Average home size is approximately 2800 sq.ft.
- Property mix: single-family residences, condominiums, apartments, plus some office/retail
I looked at the Distribution of Home Values graph at homes.com, wondering if the diverse property mix might affect the distribution. Something popped out from the distribution:
- 18% of homes are around $380,000.
- 13.72% are in the median $700K range.
- 19.24% are over $1M.
A neighborhood where there were as many sub-$400,000 homes as homes over $1M? To understand that I needed to extend my usual walks with George.
What I Learned On The Ground In The Landings
When I saw the $702,000 median home value at homes.com, I was skeptical. Because of my regular walking route near the Lake, The Landings felt more expensive to me. But in the case of The Landings, the usual numbers ($/sq.ft., average price, etc.) don’t tell the whole story.
Indeed, the distribution reveals that there are really three tiers of homes in The Landings.
Townhomes and Condominiums in the $300-$400K range comprise the first tier. These homes cluster along Landings Drive and Boardwalk on the western edge. The Wharf offers lovely condominiums under $300K—perfect for first-time buyers or downsizers who want The Landings lifestyle without the price tag.
The Midrange tier is next ($600K-$800K). The term midrange is relative to what you find in Fort Collins, not what you find nationally. Homes along and off Whaler’s Way exemplify this tier. These are mostly split-level or ranch-style homes with great sidewalks and that neighborly wave-as-you-pass vibe.
Finally, there is a luxury tier ($1M+). This is where The Landings gets interesting. High Pointe on Boardwalk offers gated luxury. The lakefront estates along Warren Lake command premium prices. But the most surprising discovery was Harmony Reservoir—a small, pond-like pool southwest of Warren Lake that doesn’t even appear by name on most maps. Only the adjacent homes have access, and these are some of the priciest properties in The Landings.
Unsurprisingly with this mix, home styles vary quite a lot, as does the square footage. Mid-century modern townhomes dominate the affordable tier. The midrange features split-levels and ranches. The luxury tier showcases everything from modern to colonial—including one striking Tudor-style home near Breakwater and Lemay that I absolutely love.
Demographics tell an interesting story. Again, using numbers I found on homes.com, only 17% of households have children under 18, while 32% of residents are over 65. This seemed very consistent with who I bump into when I’m in the neighborhood. The Landings skews older, likely because the larger homes command prices that put them out of reach for young families, while the smaller affordable homes don’t offer the square footage families typically need.
In sum, just about anyone able to enter the market at $300,000+ could find something in The Landings, whether you’re seeking an affordable condo or a lakefront estate.
Is The Landings Right for You?
With relatively few families and a mature demographic, The Landings skews towards professionals seeking convenience, downsizers who want maintenance-free living with amenities, or retirees who value community and Lake access and have probably owned their home there for years.
The Landings offers an interesting mix of options: condos, mid-sized moderns, and grand colonial style are all on offer. Crucially, if you’re attracted because of Warren Lake, make sure wherever you settle is actually one of the HOAs that has access to the Lake.
The sizes of the homes and proximity to loads of amenities could make The Landings a great spot to raise a family. But the price tag of the larger homes, and the small sizes of the more affordable ones, might explain why there don’t seem to be that many families here.
Price or square footage might explain the demographics, but for quiet lakeside luxury, or affordable condominiums that are a short distance from shopping hotspots, The Landings is hard to beat.
And that’s why it’s The Landings.
