Large yet walkable suburban neighborhood in northeast Colorado Springs
Ridgeview is a suburb that attracts buyers seeking a family-friendly community with newer homes in northeast Colorado Springs. This neighborhood began developing around the start of the millennium, centered around Jared Jensen Park and Ridgeview Elementary School. Ridgeview is one of the city’s larger neighborhoods, containing many trails and parks and several nondenominational churches, like Church For All Nations and Mountain Springs Church. Two of Colorado Springs’ major employers, CommonSpirit St. Francis Hospital and Peterson Space Force Base, are also close at hand. “Ridgeview attracts a lot of nurses because the hospital’s right there – military and nurses. It’s a somewhat decent drive down Powers to the base,” says Jake Wade, Realtor with RE/MAX Real Estate Group based in Colorado Springs. Ridgeview’s CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Walking the Sand Creek Trail
Jared Jensen Park is named after a Colorado Springs police officer who tragically died in the line of duty in 2006. The park includes a basketball court, a playground with a large rock wall and a small, paved walking loop. Bikers and dog walkers can take the paved Sand Creek Trail, which runs along Sand Creek proper and connects to several recreational areas, including Stetson Hills Open Space. The trail also connects to Ken Jordan Park, which has a playground, benches and open green space. San Creek Trail Duck Pond is a dog-friendly meadow and pond with a covered bridge; mother ducks lead their babies on swims through the pond itself. Gripstone Climbing & Fitness offers rock climbing and bouldering, and kids can practice their swings at Legends Miniature Golf & Batting Cages.
