Mariana Butte pairs front-range scenery with everyday convenience, rising above the Big Thompson River on the west side of Loveland. Golfers gravitate to the city’s 18-hole course and clubhouse, while trail lovers catch golden-hour views from the namesake butte. Weekends often start on the first tee or with a sunrise stroll, then roll into patio time at nearby eateries and quick errands in town.
Outdoor options stack up here. The surrounding open lands and neighborhood paths make it easy to spot raptors and mule deer, and Boedecker Lake is minutes away for calm-water paddling and birding. Broader adventures are close, too—Boyd Lake State Park’s swim beaches, boat ramps, and fishing piers offer an easy family day out through Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s official access point, and Devil’s Backbone Open Space showcases classic hogbacks and wildflowers managed by Larimer County. When you need a bigger-city dash, commuting to Fort Collins or other parts of Larimer County is straightforward, yet evenings still feel wonderfully quiet under big, starry skies.
Families appreciate that the neighborhood feeds into the well-regarded Thompson School District, with area schools such as Namaqua Elementary, Bill Reed Middle, and Thompson Valley High serving local students. Between fairway-edge homes, cul-de-sacs, and pocket parks, daily life feels relaxed and well connected through the City of Loveland’s parks network.
