Pleasant Valley feels like the foothills come right to your front porch, with mature trees, mountain views, and quick access to iconic open spaces. Residents can wander to trailheads at Garden of the Gods Park, a local treasure for hiking, climbing, and sunrise photo ops, or catch living-history demonstrations and seasonal events at the adjacent Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. Recent upgrades along the Camp Creek corridor have improved flood mitigation and added safer, more comfortable routes for walkers and cyclists, making everyday errands and evening strolls part of the appeal.
Families value the neighborhood’s schools in Colorado Springs School District 11, including Howbert Elementary right in the community, with secondary options at Holmes Middle School and Coronado High School. Weekend plans often swing through the galleries, eateries, and farmers markets of nearby Old Colorado City, while festivals, trails, and quirky shops in Manitou Springs are just a few minutes west. Pleasant Valley’s location within El Paso County also puts commuters close to major corridors and downtown, yet the streets remain calm enough for kids riding bikes or neighbors chatting over dog walks.
From well-kept mid-century ranches to thoughtfully updated homes on generous lots, Pleasant Valley offers a rare blend of nature-at-your-doorstep and everyday convenience.
