Elevation is 6,200 feet. The afternoons are cooler because these areas are shaded by Cheyenne Mountain. In addition, Cheyenne Mountain protects the area and it receives less wind from the west. The homes range from the 1900's to new. The area is named after the Broadmoor Hotel and includes many planned neighborhoods on the slopes of Cheyenne Mountain. The older area near the hotel has 100-year-old, million dollar estates, along with many up-scale single-family residences. The Broadmoor area is one of the most picturesque areas in the region, with Cheyenne Mountain to the west. Skyway, located in the foothills west of the city, offers pleasant living on the leeward side of the mountains. Lower Skyway consists of mature, medium priced homes, while Upper Skyway is an exclusive area with natural surroundings and up-scale executive homes.  Near by is Bear Creek park that has facilities for pet owners, folks who like to hide horses or those who like to play tennis.  Rock Creek and Red Rock Valley are adjacent to Route 115 and opposite the Fort Carson Army installation. This area is at the city edge but far enough from the city so it has appeal as a country living community. The landmark Broadmoor Hotel has received a five-star ranking for nearly 40 consecutive years from the Mobil Travel Guide and has been the recipient of the Five Diamond Award from the American Automobile Association since the inception of the award. Nestled in the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain this grand hotel built in 1918 reflects a legacy of elegance, impeccable service and exquisite cuisine. The Country Club of Colorado and the three 18 hole golf courses, which are owned by the Broadmoor Hotel, offer private club opportunities. A new 8,000-seat world arena was completed in 1997 to provide a venue for Olympic and commercial events. Large parks and other recreational areas make this a very desirable living area.
