Western gateway to the mountains
Considered one of the gateways into the Colorado mountains and less than 3 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs, Westside is more of an outdoorsy community with mature homes than a city suburb. And those who call this part of town home proudly refer to themselves as Westsiders. “Homes here have a unique character, and there’s a diverse population in comparison to the rest of Colorado Springs, the vibe and walkability mirroring what you’d find in Old Colorado City,” says Susanna Haynie, a local and Broker at Co-Regroup with 12 years of experience in the area. Peak hours can bring traffic as Interstate 25 runs along the eastern edge, but the community maintains its laid-back and adventurous nature.
From older bungalows to modern Craftsmans
Sidewalks and aged trees line the streets of the residential pockets in Westside, where many single-family homes have modest yards and detached garages. “Houses here are from different eras, from Colorado Springs’ beginnings in the 1870s to the 1910s to updated and modern-day builds,” Haynie says. There are 1,000- to 1,500-square-foot ranch homes, Split Levels and bungalows—some with recent renovations or fenced-in yard space—in the $385,000 to $485,000 price range. There are also 2,000- to 2,800-square-foot historic Craftsman and custom Colonial Revivals with updated amenities that sell between $500,000 and $750,000. On the east side of the neighborhood, modern 4-bedroom and 4-bathroom townhouses with rooftop lounges can be found for around $670,000.
There are large trees in the yards of the Westside neighborhood.

Trails through Red Rock Canyon
Westsiders take advantage of Cucharras Park, which offers a playground, basketball court and walking paths. Locals also head west of the neighborhood to Red Rock Canyon Open Space to hike and bike while admiring the red-rock formations.

The Pinery at the Hill is a popular wedding and event venue with plentiful mountain vistas. Colorado Springs is also home to Fort Carson Army Base, Peterson Air Force Base, Shriever Air Force Base and the Air Force Academy.
Eating and shopping on Colorado Ave
Residents frequent Colorado Avenue for breweries, restaurants and local shops. “Cerberus Brewing has great food and great beer,” notes Haynie, and the nearby 503W serves craft beer with their Asian-American food menu. In the northern part of Westside, locals pick up groceries and essentials at King Soopers and Walgreens, and in the southern part, they can get fresh cuts at The Stache Spot barber shop. “There’s also a Costco 5 miles north right off the highway. And a lot of people go to Old Colorado City for the staples, like Paravicini's, Wild Ginger, COO Brewery and BonTon’s, which has an awesome outdoor patio area,” Haynie adds.
