In northeast Colorado Springs, Garden Ranch offers convenience, well-maintained homes and plenty of outdoor recreation. Parks, trails and open space surround this neighborhood, which sits right next to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. “The big draw here is definitely location,” says Jake Wade, Realtor with RE/MAX Real Estate Group based in Colorado Springs. “It has good access to the university, the Powers Corridor, hiking for all abilities and nice parks.” During the 1970s, this peaceful suburb was considered one of the northernmost points in Colorado Springs. The Air Force Academy is about 10 miles north and downtown is 7 miles away.
