Peace, love and Colorado Springs
Set against the foothills of Pikes Peak on one side and the Midland Expressway on the other, Midland-Westside is a neighborhood for the outdoor enthusiast. “Westsiders are the more laid-back, hippy types in Colorado Springs,” says real estate specialist Camellia Coray with Coldwell Banker Realty. “They love to hit the trails, and they value mom-and-pop shops.” Most local stores are individually owned, says Wayne Florek, a Realtor with Chrayne Realty, who lives in Midland-Westside and has been active in local real estate for the past 15 years. “You’ll find no box stores here. I know some of the finest restaurants in town, but I still enjoy seeing all the local eateries in Old Colorado City, minutes from my home.” Most of all, Westsiders enjoy their neighborhood, even if it’s a walk to the park.
Acres of parks and miles of trails
Residents appreciate the miles of trails at Red Rock Canyon Open Space on the western side of the neighborhood. “The park was purchased 20 years ago, and it features beautiful rock formations where you can go horseback and dirt bike riding or rock climbing,” Coray says. Two off-leash loops for dogs and a freeride park for bikes are part of Red Rocks, and nearly 80 technical climbing routes have been established, all maintained by volunteers. For families with children, Bott Park is a residential park next to homes, with a basketball field, two tennis courts and a playground. To the south, Bear Creek Regional Park is El Paso County’s most visited park. This 545-acre area of open prairie, hills and woods features an off-leash dog park, picnic pavilions, sports facilities, multiple playgrounds, and several walking trails.

Historic and new homes

New contemporary homes priced at $565,000 and townhouses that list for $265,000 add to the mix in this friendly, eclectic neighborhood.
