According to the CAP Index, Oak Hills’ overall crime score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Four seasons in Colorado Springs
The area faces some wildfire risk, but Oak Hills is located between two fire stations. Regarding daily weather, “We have four seasons; right now, it’s red, orange and yellow outside,” says Jason Daniels, Owner of Finch & Gable Real Estate and Colorado Springs native. “It snows but melts within a day or two. It randomly snowed in July and was 80 degrees the next day. Dress in layers. If you don’t like the weather, wait ten minutes.”
