About
Central is your typical “downtown” district complete with quaint shopping and limitless dining and social options. Colorado Springs is also making a respectable name for itself in the micro and craft brewery world, and you’ll find most of them in Central. The area is walkable and alive with festivals, markets, sidewalk dining, coffee shops… you name it!
Neighbors
Young couples and singles tend to gravitate to Central because of its exuberance and active social scene. As with most urban centers, raising a family here is entirely feasible, but space is sold at a premium. You’ll still run across other members of the military if you live here, but not many military families live in the area.
Neighborhood Feel
Condos, lofts and townhomes are common and you can easily step out and walk to most of what you need. The historic district is called Old North End, and here you’ll find large victorians from the 1800’s. A lot of the neighborhoods are inhabited by the affluent of Colorado Springs (both old money and new), but areas like Patty Jewett and Shooks Run offer all the historic character and charm at more attainable price points.
