East Colorado Springs

East Colorado Springs blends everyday convenience with outdoor access—First & Main, neighborhood parks, and fast routes along Powers.

East Colorado Springs at a Glance

Fast errand loops. Straight shots to work. Room to breathe. The Powers Corridor lines up shopping, dining, and services in one place, while neighborhood streets lead to parks and smooth multi-use trails. You’re close to what you use every week and a short drive from the rest.

Life Along the Powers Corridor

Start with a latte at Coffee and Tea Zone inside First & Main Town Center. Circle once for dinner, a movie, gear, and groceries—done. Weeknights feel easy because the essentials sit on the same loop. Less driving. More living.

Cimarron Hills — Homes and Streets

Cimarron Hills brings classic ranch and bi-level homes with mature trees and practical lots. Many have been updated over the years, so you’ll see new kitchens next to original mid-century lines. It’s a straightforward neighborhood with quick access back to Powers when you need it.

Schools in District 49 and District 11

Many east-side addresses fall in District 49’s Sand Creek area—Evans or Remington for elementary, Horizon for middle, and Sand Creek High School for high school. Streets closer to the city core often attend District 11 campuses. Both districts lean practical and student-focused, with updated facilities in many buildings, solid arts and athletics, career and tech pathways, and advanced coursework. Families mention approachable staff, active calendars, and a strong community feel.

Commute and Access

Powers Boulevard runs north–south and keeps daily life simple. You get quick links to shopping, health care, and the airport, plus direct routes to Peterson SFB and an easy connection toward Fort Carson. Crossing town is predictable thanks to reliable east-west connectors to I-25.

Parks and Trails — Sand Creek and Rock Island

Settle into easy miles on the Sand Creek Trail or the Rock Island Trail. Both are smooth, multi-use paths you can jump on for a quick workout or a long weekend ride. Eastridge Park sits in the heart of Cimarron Hills. Fields, a pavilion, and open space stay close to home, so sunrise and evening walks become a habit.

Shopping and Daily Errands — First & Main Town Center

First & Main Town Center anchors the corridor with big-box retail, local restaurants, fitness, and a theater. You can handle groceries, grab dinner, and catch a show without leaving the loop. Smaller centers along Powers fill in the gaps with pharmacies, services, and grab-and-go spots.
