About
If wide open spaces are what you need, look no further. This quiet ranching community turned suburb is located northeast of Colorado Springs and is very attractive for families. Land and homes are very affordable here, and you can find homes with a lot of acreage. There are two main communities with mostly new construction that sit on a minimum of 1 acre. It’s farther out than Powers, so getting to Fort Carson is a hike, but it’s still reasonably close to Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, and even the Air Force Academy.
Neighbors
The residents here are typically families, and even retirees, looking for more space and to stretch their dollar. Small town hospitality and sense of community will make you feel right at home! If you aren’t surrounded by uniforms, don’t be surprised by cowboy hats and spurs.
Neighborhood Feel
Most of the development in Falcon took off in the 2000’s, so you can expect to find homes 10 to 20 years old at most — the majority are newer than that. The land is flat and can be quite gusty at times due to the lack of trees and topography. Landscaping is usually minimal because of the dry climate, and if you opt for prairie grass, it stays short and makes for low maintenance yards! The newer, master planned communities boast pools, recreation centers, parks, trails, fitness centers, and basketball/tennis courts.
