Highlights of Foxridge

Parks, schools, dining, and what makes this neighborhood special

🌳 Foxridge Park

Located near 7898 S. Oneida Way, Foxridge Park is the neighborhood’s central outdoor gathering place, with open lawns, a playground, walking paths, and space for informal games. Its location within the residential street network makes it especially convenient for families, dog walkers, and neighbors looking for a quick green-space break without leaving Foxridge.

🏊 The Club at Foxridge

At 7070 E. Mineral Avenue, The Club at Foxridge provides a distinctly neighborhood-focused recreation option with swimming, tennis, social events, and family programming. The private club contributes to Foxridge’s community identity beyond its homes and parks, giving residents a place for seasonal activities, lessons, swim-team participation, and casual connections with nearby neighbors.

🚴 Willow Creek Trail

The Willow Creek Trail corridor is one of Foxridge’s most useful everyday amenities, threading through or alongside the neighborhood and linking local streets with Willow Creek Park and nearby greenways. Its paved paths support walking, running, and bicycling, while the creek setting adds a more natural feel to an otherwise established suburban area.

🏫 Foxridge’s Split School-District Setting

Foxridge is notable for sitting near the boundary between Cherry Creek Schools and Littleton Public Schools, making school assignment a property-specific consideration rather than a simple neighborhood-wide label. Homes along streets such as Mineral Avenue and the surrounding Foxridge network can have different attendance patterns, so families should verify the exact address with the relevant district before buying or enrolling.

🛒 The Streets at SouthGlenn

Just south of Foxridge near South University Boulevard and East Arapahoe Road, The Streets at SouthGlenn serves as the neighborhood’s nearby mixed-use destination for groceries, dining, services, and entertainment. Whole Foods at 6853 S. York Street is a particularly convenient anchor, while the surrounding open-air layout provides restaurants, shops, public spaces, and seasonal community activity.
