A western Colorado Springs place to roam free
The Mesa, sometimes referred to as “Mesa,” is a nature-focused community with lush parks, trails and a large collection of multi-decade homes. “It’s next to a big open space, and that means you can get away,” says Alan Arata, Realtor for Keller Williams Clients’ Choice and Colorado Springs native. You can go and let your dog off-leash. It’s like your land that somebody else takes care of.” Major thoroughfares like the two-lane Mesa Road curve past Holmes Elementary and forested areas showing peaks of the Front Range mountains and Downtown Colorado Springs a few miles away. Even with the secluded lifestyle in the area, folks have easy access to Interstate 25 to get to and from work, and the city staple, Garden of the Gods park is west of the area, hosting various events.

Homes from several decades in the hills
Older homes neighbor newer ones in The Mesa. Properties in the west sit further apart higher up in the hills, and houses in the east are aligned on gridded asphalt streets. But both areas have clear views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountain range. Early 21st-century condos and townhomes with stone and vinyl exteriors are gathered near the northeastern corner. These properties have small wooden decks and short entryways connecting to well-paved sidewalks, and some are within walking distance of Pike Park. Prices can range between $250,000 for a two-bedroom home and $650,000 for a five-bedroom one. Residents can expect to pay between $250 and $300 in monthly HOA fees, which cover trash removal and lawn maintenance.
There’s a wide range of pricing for single-family homes here. A combination of early 20th-century wooden cottages and midcentury ranch-style homes are mostly dispersed throughout the north and south end. These houses are suited with open, front porches and fenced-in grassy yards. Prices for these roughly range between $270,000 and $500,000. Most houses on the west side have more square footage and larger lots. It’s normal to see backyard pools and farm equipment in the ponderosa pine tree-filled yards. Home styles include midcentury ranch and multi-story modern traditional, some built in the late 20th century and some in the 2020s. These are priced from $650,000 to $1.1 million, with massive estates surpassing $2 million.

Hiking and birdwatching in The Mesa
The 97-acre Sondermann Park features plenty of open space for birdwatching and hiking. The tree-covered Mesa Valley Trail extends from the park through the northern part of the neighborhood and offers stunning views of the tan and green Pikes Peak Mountain on its narrow, rocky path. The Catamount Institute, a local non-profit, partners with the park to provide a nature center, camps and tours for kids. Set north in the community, Pike Park has a playground and baseball diamond next to the Academy for Advanced and Creating Learning. The iconic Garden of the Gods is about 4 miles west and has guided horseback riding, several areas for rock climbing and 15 miles of trails that segway through the well-known red sandstone formations. Residents can also travel to the other side of Interstate 25 to play volleyball and pickleball and bike along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail in Monument Valley Park.

Protecting against fires and loud noises
Homes in The Mesa might be susceptible to wildfires, especially during peak season from May to September. The Colorado Springs Fire Department Station #1 is about 3 miles southeast via Uintah Street. The department advises homeowners to harden their yards with rock gardens and barriers and clear their areas of leaves and other flammable debris. Those living closer to I-25 may experience some noise during high traffic, but an existing sound wall keeps most sounds at bay.
