Popular Communities Near Military Bases in Colorado Springs
Military families PCSing to the Colorado Springs area can choose from neighborhoods near Fort Carson, Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, NORAD, and USAFA and surrounding communities with different commute, school, lifestyle, and housing options. Our local Colorado Springs military realtors can help you compare each location before your next move.
Access to Fort Carson & Peterson SFB
Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs gives military homebuyers the broadest mix of neighborhoods, established amenities, and access to employment across the metro. Buyers can compare older central homes, newer suburban construction, and foothill settings while keeping Fort Carson within a practical commute.
Approx. 5 miles to Fort Carson
Fountain
Fountain sits just east of Fort Carson and offers a mix of established streets and newer subdivisions. It can suit military buyers prioritizing a shorter trip to post while retaining access to shopping and services throughout the Fountain Valley.
Approx. 7 miles to Fort Carson
Security-Widefield
Security-Widefield is an established community between Colorado Springs and Fountain with ranch, split-level, and later suburban homes. Its close-in location can appeal to buyers who want mature neighborhoods, everyday conveniences, and multiple routes toward Fort Carson.
Near Fort Carson & Peterson SFB
Lorson Ranch
Lorson Ranch is a newer master-planned community in southeast Colorado Springs with modern floor plans, parks, trails, and continuing development. Its position east of Fort Carson makes it a natural comparison for buyers seeking newer construction near several local military installations.
Approx. 28 miles to Fort Carson
Pueblo West
Pueblo West offers a more spacious high-desert setting with larger lots and a mix of ranch, stucco, and newer detached homes. Military buyers may compare it when lot size and room to spread out matter more than having the shortest Fort Carson commute.
Convenient to Peterson & Schriever SFBs
Falcon
Falcon combines newer subdivisions with open high-plains surroundings east of Colorado Springs. It can work for buyers who prefer newer homes, a suburban-rural feel, and additional space while accepting a longer drive to Fort Carson.
Convenient to Schriever SFB
Peyton
Peyton provides a quieter, semi-rural setting east of Colorado Springs with larger parcels and broad Front Range views. Buyers considering Peyton should balance the additional space and open landscape against the longer trip to Fort Carson and city services.
Near the U.S. Air Force Academy
Monument
Monument sits north of Colorado Springs and features mountain-oriented neighborhoods, established trees, and a mix of Craftsman and contemporary homes. It may appeal to buyers prioritizing the north-side setting and access toward the Air Force Academy while accepting a longer Fort Carson commute.
