Centralized Colorado Springs neighborhood surrounded by local shopping
Located near the center of Colorado Springs, Village Seven is a large residential area full of parks and surrounded by shopping. “It’s an older, working-class neighborhood that is really friendly as well,” says Darlene Cramm, Realtor for Keller Williams Clients’ Choice Realty and a longtime Colorado Springs resident. “A lot of people have been there a long time.” A combination of families, retirees and young professionals live in the area, and folks work at large employers like UCHealth and military bases like Peterson Space Force Base. A variety of homes, mainly from the late 1970s and ‘80s, can be seen while driving along the four-lane South Carefree Circle. People here take advantage of the proximity to nearby District 11 schools and shops along North Academy Boulevard and North Powers Road.

UCHealth Eastview Medical Center is about 2 miles west of the area, and Colorado Springs Airport is 11 miles south via Powers Boulevard.
Lots of housing stock in Village Seven

The neighborhood’s southwestern corner has a mixture of late 20th-century split-levels and early 2000s Spanish-influenced new traditional homes. Some residences sit on nearly quarter-acre lots with long concrete driveways and rock-landscaped backyards. Houses at a higher elevation have views of Pikes Peak, and tall ponderosa and blue spruce pine trees surround many of these properties, creating more privacy. Prices typically fall between $500,000 and $750,000, and residents of subdivisions like Stonegate Terrace may pay up to $175 in monthly HOA fees.

Adjacent to Penrose Elementary, the 16-acre Penrose Park has a basketball court, softball field and tons of open green space. Nearby Village Green Park has a small playground for toddlers and fields for football and soccer. Folks can park in the parking lot off Carefree Circle, and sled down the park’s hills in the wintertime. Folks can bike or jog along the 7-mile Homestead Trail, which travels through the 16-acre Rudy Park fixed with horse stables and a scenic overlook. The massive 750-acre Palmer Park connects to the western border of Village Seven, and locals can visit the dinosaur statues and monkey bars at the playground near the entrance. There’s also a fenced-in dog park and a handful of trails showcasing the natural beauty of Yucca Flats areas and the rocky terrain of the Front Range Mountains. Visitors can even see the famous Garden of the Gods red rock formations from overlook points in the park.
A hub for retail and locally owned shops and restaurants
Village Seven is surrounded by retail stores. For groceries, folks can head to Costco Wholesale, Walmart Neighborhood Market or King Soopers in the Marketplace in Austin Bluffs shopping area.

Enjoying the show at the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off
Besides the occasional Christian concert at Radiant Church, Village Seven doesn’t have a lot of its own events. However, residents are close to city festivals and celebrations. On Labor Day weekend, locals head to Memorial Park 6 miles southwest of the neighborhood for the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off. Hundreds of people set up chairs and blankets in the grass to watch hot air balloons take flight over Prospect Lake. The Star-Spangled Symphony and Fourth of July Fireworks Show is another popular event; residents can sit on their front porches to watch fireworks across the Pikes Peak region or go to a free live concert at the Pikes Peak Center for The Performing Arts 7 miles southwest.
Prepping homes for possible flood damage
Some areas in Village Seven may be more at risk for flooding in the summertime, especially during July and August. The Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management advises homeowners in flood zones to keep a 72-hour kit with drinking water and a radio, stay updated on road closures and raise any electrical components in the home so that water won’t touch them. Because Peterson Space Force Base is 7 miles south of the area, some residents may hear aircraft noise in the mornings and evenings during training exercises. The base sends reminders and alerts as they prepare for these trainings.
