North West Area - Colorado Springs, CO

The Northwest Area

Northwest Colorado Springs has undergone rapid and high level residential developement. Large custom homes and higher priced single family and condominium developments characterize most homebuilding projects in this part of town, taking their cue from the rather exclusive Rockrimmon area, located in the foothills just south of the Air Force Academy.

One of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the city, Kissing Camels Estates, a private, guarded community with its own country club and golf course, overlooks the Garden of the Gods, a unique geological formation of high jutting red rock spires that is a Colorado Springs landmark. And Woodmen Valley, a partially wooded valley that runs right up to the very foot of the front range, offers some gorgeous large lot homesites in a rolling country setting.

The northwest is also host to many of the high technology firms locating major installations in Colorado Springs. The Garden of the Gods Road area has become a primary center for electronics firms and related industry and bustles with construction of modern industrial facilities.

Also located in the Northwest are the Flying W Ranch, which draws tourists from all over the country for its famous chuck wagon dinners and western show, and Glen Eyrie, the former estate of General Palmer, Colorado Springs' founder which is maintained as a retreat facility by the Navigators, an international Christian missionary organization.
