Northern Colorado Springs community filled with things to do
Set along Interstate 25 near the U.S. Air Force Academy, Middle Creek is a well-maintained northern suburb of Colorado Springs. “I’d call it a vibrant area. You’re living in a place you could almost vacation in,” says Alan Arata, Realtor for Keller Williams Clients’ Choice Realty and native of Colorado Springs. Drivers will see snapshots of the green, hilly southern Rocky Mountains in the west, and rows of stone-studded two-story homes as they head north on Voyager Parkway. Outdoor spots like Mary Kyer Park are within walking distance of several homes, and locals are a short drive from summer concerts at the brand new Ford Amphitheater and private golf time at the Flying Horse Resort and Club. Arata says the “proximity, newness of it and nice lawns” are some of the other major draws of the area for homebuyers. “The people that live there are friendly and take care of their places,” he says.
Middle Creek is next to the Flying Horse Resort and Club.

Early 2000s-built Craftsman and new traditional homes on quarter-acre lots are dispersed throughout the northeast corner of the community.

Some homes in subdivisions like Stone Crossing are close to community gardens, playgrounds and trails.

Picturesque trails and park amenities in Middle Creek
The 11-acre Mary Kyer Park is a go-to spot for dog walking and relaxing, with views of the Front Range Mountains. Visitors can stroll the half-mile loop around the pond, play a game of pick-up basketball or check out the playground structures. Hikers and joggers can also access the paved 2-mile-long La Foret Trail at the park. The Front Range Trail runs through the southwestern corner of the neighborhood, connecting it to the 14-mile-long New Santa Fe Regional Trail. People can hike or bike the dirt-packed trail across the city for views of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado prairie land. The small pocket park, Apple Park, is located near the western side of Middle Creek. In fall of 2024, the Make-A-Wish Fountain opened a wheelchair-accessible swing in the park, thanks to the request of a local girl with a genetic disorder. The membership-only Flying Horse Resort and Club has two 18-hole courses; members can utilize the on-site gym, pickleball courts and a 25-yard lap swimming pool.

In the summer, the Western Museum of Mining and Industry—located 3 miles northwest—holds a Western Saloon Night to raise money for the museum.

Noise from Ford Amphitheater and wildfire risks
Being near Ford Amphitheater has its pros and cons. The venue has been the subject of noise complaints; since August of 2024, city officials and owners of the amphitheater have worked together to make plans to mitigate the noise. The Air Force Academy and Davis Airfield are nearby, but Arata says loud engine noise is only an issue a few times a year during various trainings. Homes in Middle Creek are also at risk of wildfire destruction, especially those closer to the northern border. The Colorado Springs Fire Department recommends creating a 15-foot distance between homes and any flammable lawn vegetation.
