East & Northeast

About

There are moderate military populations in both areas. East is a popular choice for those stationed at Peterson AFB and Schriever AFB, while Northeast is typically home to those commuting to the Air Force Academy. Families are found in abundance.

Neighborhood Feel

Most of the neighborhoods in Northeast and East are older and charming. The 10 to 30 year old homes are well maintained with mature landscaping. Some areas are hilly and some have views of Pike’s Peak and the Front Range Mountains.

Things to Consider

Some areas, particularly in East Colorado Springs, can be hit or miss. We recommend not purchasing sight unseen in this area.

Traffic can be heavy during peak times and the lack of throughways adds time to commutes east and west. The main boulevards have generously placed traffic lights and commuting to Fort Carson can be especially time consuming.
