Neighborhood Spotlight
Foxridge and The Hillside at Foxridge
Foxridge, in west Centennial, was built out across a series of filings between 1978 and 1995, with curving streets, bike lanes and a canopy of mature trees. Instead of a mandatory HOA, residents can join the volunteer Foxridge Improvement Association, which organizes events like a Halloween parade and holiday carriage rides. The Foxridge Club, a swim and tennis club, and a community garden each have separate optional memberships.
The neighborhood includes several smaller enclaves, among them The Hillside at Foxridge, Greyhill at Foxridge and The Ridge at Foxridge, and some of them have their own associations. Foxridge sits on the line between the Cherry Creek and Littleton school districts, so the assigned schools depend on the street. Kaylie’s recent sale at 8024 S Oneida Ct was in The Hillside at Foxridge.
