About
Northwest is located exactly as its names describes and is an ideal location for those stationed at the Air Force Academy. Occupying the area between the mountains and I-25 and just north of Garden of the Gods, homes here are very desirable and the supply can be limited. While still a reasonable choice for Fort Carson, Peterson AFB and Schriever AFB, the commute is going to be much longer.
Neighbors
You’re more likely to reside amongst dual income families in this region. Upper ranking military officers stationed at the AF Academy love the area, and spouses tend to find excellent employment opportunities here as well as in Denver. Retirees also find refuge here.
Neighborhood Feel
There’s a great mix of old and new in this region replete with “old town” Colorado charm. There really isn’t a single prevailing home type; you’ll see either spacious new construction in a variety of architectural styles or 70’s style split-levels. This area spans the foothills and the hillsides, where wildlife is plentiful and the vistas are stunning. Newer, master planned communities boast themed playgrounds and parks as well as walking/biking trails.
