Westside pairs foothill scenery with everyday convenience on the western edge of Colorado Springs. Weekend plans often start outdoors: families watch raptors and explore exhibits at the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center, mountain bikers and climbers hit the sandstone routes in Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and dog lovers loop the trails at Bear Creek. Afterward, Colorado Avenue hums with chef-driven eateries, coffeehouses, and craft breweries, while local makers and galleries showcase work that reflects the neighborhood’s frontier roots and creative streak.
Historic Old Colorado City anchors the scene with seasonal markets, art walks, and community programs at the nearby library, giving residents a true main-street experience. Families appreciate the academic options in Colorado Springs School District 11, including Coronado High School and neighborhood elementary campuses known for arts and STEM enrichment. Commutes are straightforward—downtown is just minutes away, and a quick hop on U.S. 24 leads to trailheads and day trips in Manitou Springs and the mountain communities of El Paso County.
