Established neighborhood with easy access to local shopping and entertainment
Adjacent to Colorado Springs’ famous Air Force Academy, Northgate is an affluent suburban neighborhood with well-maintained streets, several entertainment venues and many HOA-controlled homes. “I would say this area isn’t for a first-time homebuyer—it’s more for a move-up buyer,” says Daniel Pitrone, Realtor at Keller Williams Premier Realty, who’s lived in Colorado Springs since 2007. He says that folks tend to move here to be close to the coveted Academy District 20 school district, and to have an easier commute to work in Denver 60 miles north and access to all kinds of activities. Pitrone says the area attracts young families, Air Force officers and retirees who want to be near golf at Flying Horse The area also has some local shops and restaurants along with major four-lane roads like Voyager Parkway that connect to other parts of the city.

Bagpipe competitions at Pikes Peak Celtic Festival
Residents in Northgate have several events and festivals to enjoy throughout the year. In June, people head to the Western Museum of Mining and Industry for the Pikes Peak Celtic Festival, held since 2013. The Irish and Scottish-themed festivities include piping and athletic competitions, bagpipe performances by the local Pikes Peak Highlanders and happy hours with specialty cocktails. Along with having space for weddings and birthday parties, the museum also hosts the Miners’ Pumpkin Patch featuring food trucks, cornhole and pumpkin catapulting. The Summer Farmers Market at the museum is also open on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning in June. In 2024, the Ford Amphitheater opened near the area's western side and has hosted performances from nationally known musicians like ZZ Top and Cage The Elephant.
Living through occasional noise and fire risks
Pitrone says there have been complaints about the noise from concerts at Ford Amphitheater, especially from those who live closer to it. Since August, city leaders and amphitheater owners have discussed plans for mitigating the noise, including increasing the depth of an existing sound wall at the venue and agreeing to not use fireworks except during July 4th. Despite the neighborhood’s proximity to the Air Force Academy and Davis Airfield, residents won’t hear too much aircraft noise except during flight training at various times of the year.Homes here are also more prone to wildfire destruction. The Colorado Springs Fire Department recommends homeowners keep a defensible space by creating a 15-foot separation between their house and vegetation, raking up leaves and pine needles in their yards and pruning lower branches on trees. They also encourage people to know their evacuation zones, keep fire extinguishers on hand and keep an extra emergency kit on hand in case a fire breaks out.
