COMMUNITY PROFILES

Cradled at the base of Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs draws newcomers to a truly attractive cityscape and natural environment and uninterrupted views of the Front Range of the Rockies. The peerless scenery that once inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write the poem “America the Beautiful” is not lost on today’s relocating residents. Local and regional governments work synergistically to provide neighborhood, city, and regional parks and trails. El Paso County welcomes residents and visitors to 85 miles of trails, a wedding gazebo, an archery range, and tennis courts, to name just a few of the recreational facilities. Newcomers will discover a complete range of housing choices, from exclusive enclaves that command panoramic views to charming homes nestled in attractive neighborhoods and shaded by mature greenery. New construction, luxury townhomes, golf communities, and contemporary subdivisions are just a few of the choices that climb the area’s major and minor elevations.
