Southeast Colorado Springs community with views of the plains
Located on the outskirts of Colorado Springs in the middle of flat, western prairie land, Colorado Centre is a quiet suburban community with well-paved streets, 21st century homes and a laid-back lifestyle. “It’s for people who want to be in a neighborhood but don’t want to be in the center of town where everyone’s on top of each other,” says Katie Ely, a Realtor for The Cutting Edge and a city resident for over a decade. She says the people who live here most likely have an affiliation with Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base or the Amazon Distribution Center, all major employers in the area. Residents drive into town or head south to Fountain to eat out and shop, and more developments are coming near the southwestern corner of the region. Ely says folks here enjoy the seclusion of the area, and with an overall CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, families aren’t worried about walking and playing around the neighborhood. “It's safe to go trick-or-treating, and parks and basketball hoops are set up. People walk dogs, and there are wild turkeys that run through the edge of the plains. That appeals to some people,” Ely says.
Colorado Centre offers a wide variety of homes.

Single-family homes in cul-de-sacs in Colorado Centre
The wide streets in Colorado Centre are laid out in a grid and lined with narrow, concrete sidewalks and pruned pine trees. Subdivisions are dotted with speed bumps and lamp posts, and some properties sit in cul-de-sacs. Single-family homes here consist of late 20th-century New Traditional houses with vinyl facades, two-car garages and one- to two-story Craftsman-inspired builds from the 2010s and 2020s. Most of these properties have fenced-in backyards with patios, some big enough to fit a grill and furniture. Some are also within walking distance of pocket parks with playgrounds. Prices range between $315,000 and $550,000; newer homes tend to cost more.
Ely says more condos and businesses are being built near the corner of Bradley Road and Marksheffel Boulevard. In the summer of 2024, developers broke ground on the Colorado Aerospace Business Center, a 300,000-square-foot building that will house advanced technology companies and create over 250 jobs.
Cul-De-Sacs are common the Colorado Centre neighborhood.

Bird Dog BBQ is a local favorite serving smoked meats and pulled pork sandwiches. Further west near Fountain’s Downtown, Olde Town Coffee Shop serves cold brews and lattes, and C’mon Inn—nicknamed “Fountain’s Finest Watering Hole”—has $5 margaritas on Tuesdays and occasional karaoke nights.

Sitting back to watch Pikes Peak Regional Airshow
Colorado Centre residents venture outside their neighborhood for events and celebrations. Around August, the two-day Pikes Peak Regional Airshow takes place at Colorado Springs Airport; local food vendors set up shop, and attendees can watch the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force Parachute Team perform tricks in the sky. Local Fountain organization, Thunder in the Valley, holds the two-day Thunder in the Valley Car Show, where car lovers admire hundreds of classic cars in Metcalfe Park.
Fire and flood risks in Colorado Centre
Because of its location, Colorado Centre is at risk of wildfire, especially between May and September. The Colorado Springs Fire Department advises homeowners to keep a defensible space around their homes by planting non-flammable shrubs and clearing lawns of pine needles. The Colorado Springs Fire Department Station 25 is less than 2 miles from the area. Homes on the neighborhood's perimeter, where the Jimmy Camp Creek runs, are more susceptible to flooding destruction. The Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management recommends checking on sump pumps and keeping a 72-hour kit in case of flash flooding.
