Growing suburb in northern Colorado Springs
With a top-rated school district, premier shopping destinations and expanding subdivisions, Briargate is a burgeoning suburb. “Most of the growth in Colorado Springs is happening in the northside, and Briargate is one of the most affordable places to live in that part of town,” says Leif Jacobsen, a Realtor with Exp Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over four years. “It’s a great place to live for proximity to amenities and the rest of the city.” First developed in the 1960s, Briargate was once the northern limit of Colorado Springs. As the city has expanded further north and east, the neighborhood is now centrally located to both ends of the city and is about 10 miles from Downtown Colorado Springs.

Subdivisions with traditional homes and new construction
Briargate is composed of several subdivisions developed throughout the 1970s and 2020s, with many featuring split-level homes with an average sales price of around $510,000. “It’s really a hodgepodge, though; you can find a bit of everything,” Jacobsen says. The area saw most of its development between the 1990s and early 2000s, with the addition of subdivisions such as Summerfield. Homebuyers in this area can find five-bedroom new traditional homes with finished basements, expansive patios and mountain views for about $585,000 to $675,000. Homes in the gated community of Cypress Ridge embrace a southwestern style with stucco exteriors and tiled roofs, with three-bedroom homes starting at about $500,000. New construction includes the Urban Collection at Briargate Square, a modern community of paired homes with three-bedroom units starting at around $400,000.

Children attend a highly-rated school district
The area is served by the Academy School District 20, which was ranked the second-best school district in Colorado Springs by Niche. “That’s a huge part of the draw to Briargate,” Jacobsen says. Children may begin their education at Explorer Elementary School before moving on to Timberview Middle School, with both schools earning an A-minus from Niche. Teens attend Liberty High School, which earned a grade of B-plus. The high school also offers a comprehensive Career and Technical Education Program in association with the nearby Pike Peak State College. This is just one potential pathway students may follow as Colorado is a school-choice state, meaning that students may apply to attend most public schools in the state regardless of their district.
