Positioned between Downtown and Briargate, Northeast Colorado Springs offers a well-connected community with easy access to schools, parks, and everyday amenities. Development began in the 1970s as the city expanded north, and the area has continued to evolve while maintaining its established and friendly neighborhood feel. Homes here reflect that blend of old and new—from classic ranchers and bi-levels to modern infill construction.
Everyday convenience is a big part of life here. University Village Colorado is a central hub, offering places like Trader Joe’s, Costco, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants. Just south, The Marketplace at Austin Bluffs makes errands simple with grocery shopping at King Soopers and quick dining options.
For bigger shopping trips or weekend outings, Chapel Hills Mall is just a short drive away with department stores, entertainment, and seasonal events. With so much close by, running errands, grabbing a bite, or meeting up with friends never feels like a chore.
Access to parks and open space is one of the defining features of Northeast Colorado Springs. Austin Bluffs Open Space and Pulpit Rock Park offer miles of trails and sweeping views—perfect for hiking, biking, or taking in a Colorado sunset. These spaces feel like an extension of the neighborhood, not a destination you have to plan for.
Families often head to Cottonwood Creek Park, one of the city’s largest parks, with sports fields, playgrounds, and a connected recreation center that features an indoor wave pool and year-round programs. Whether you’re training for a 5K or just enjoying an afternoon outside, outdoor access is part of everyday life here in Northeast Colorado Springs.
This part of town is served by both Colorado Springs School District 11 and Academy School District 20, offering access to a wide range of educational options. From traditional public schools to charters and magnet programs, families have flexibility when it comes to finding the right fit.
Higher education is a core part of the neighborhood as well. UCCS (University of Colorado Colorado Springs) sits right in the heart of the area, bringing educational resources, campus energy, and cultural events that benefit the broader community—not just students.
Housing in this area is as diverse as its residents. During your new home search you’ll find everything from mid-century ranch-style homes and split-levels to low-maintenance townhomes and newer construction. Properties vary in size, style, and price point—making it a flexible choice for first-time buyers, families, and long-term homeowners alike.
Mature landscaping, established yards, and proximity to parks and schools make many homes here feel settled and lived-in, while newer developments offer modern layouts and finishes. Neighborhoods like Vista Grande, Garden Ranch, and Sunset Ridge each bring their own personality and sense of community.
