Coyote Hills

The neighborhood filled in over about 25 years. Stonecraft's houses on Bristol Avenue, Mellow Lane and the east end of Stonebrook Street went up in 1978–79. Near the park, Lusk Homes' first tract was built in 1979 and the Fountainwood Estates section in 1986–87. Coventry Ridge followed in 1989–90, the two Morrison tracts in 1996 and 2000, and Running Creek Court in 2002–03, with custom homes added on Riverfield and River Hills courts along the way. Most lots are about half an acre, several early maps set aside equestrian easements, and many homes have room for horses and RVs.

Coyote Hills Park, at 275 Valley Gate Road, has playgrounds, a pavilion, a basketball court, a large lawn, a small riding arena and a short horse trail. The Wood Ranch Trail starts just southwest of the basketball court and climbs about 400 feet in half a mile to views across the valley. Apart from one short private drive, Unique Lane, the streets are public and city-maintained, and the neighborhood is not gated. Neighbors connect through a Nextdoor group called Coyote Hills Park.

Coyote Hills is an informal name with no official boundary. This page covers the recorded tracts between Wood Ranch and First Street, south of Sinaloa Lake; the edges are approximate. Homes in two separate tracts are sold under the name "Morrison Estate"; each has its own entry here.
