Colorado Springs Real Estate
Southeast
School
District 2 subdivisions include: Eastborough, Gateway, Pikes Peak Park,
and Valley Hi. Elevation is 5,546 feet.
Climate
is 3-5 degrees warmer than the central downtown area due to lower
elevation. The community has a strong military presence because Fort
Carson is nearby. To the south of Colorado Springs lies the area known
as The Valley, consisting of the communities of Security, Widefield and
Fountain. Security is the main commercial center while Widefield is
primarily residential. With a quaint urban and pastoral character, it is
home to people in diverse walks of life and to a great extent, the
military. Fountain is the oldest community in the Region, founded in
1859. It grew out of what was then the major agriculture and
livestock-raising centers in Colorado. The Valley is an ideal location
for those working at Fort Carson, Schriever or Peterson Air Force Base.
The public Appletree Golf Course features 18 holes and a number of
fairway homes. The new Pikes Peak International Raceway is located just
south of Fountain near I-25.
