Southern Colorado Springs area close to shopping, dining and Valley Hi Golf Course
Set 4 miles east of downtown Colorado Springs, Valley Hi has views of Pikes Peak Mountain, walkable streets and the popular city-owned Valley Hi Golf Course. “The location is convenient to a number of different things, and public transit is good from there,” says Alan Arata, Realtor for Keller Williams Clients’ Choice Realty and a Colorado Springs native. He says many working families settle down in this area because of the proximity to shops on Academy Boulevard, schools and the Colorado Springs Airport. Valley Hi has a mix of home styles; most residences here are more affordable than other western parts of the city. “People might buy a home, fix it up, turn around and sell it,” Arata says. Major employers like Lockheed Martin and UCHealth are also close to the neighborhood. Besides hanging out at Caddie’s at the golf course, folks here enjoy strolling around the grassy Roy Benavidez Park and heading south to Memorial Park for annual celebrations.
Valley Hi Golf Course offers a challenge well providing a view.
There are plenty of place to shop in and around Valley Hi.

Driving is a major form of transportation, but the north-south Chelton Road has bike lanes. Mountain Metropolitan Transit buses make regular stops near South Academy Boulevard and Mallard Drive. It can get noisy near the southern and eastern border of the neighborhood because of heavy car activity on East Fountain and South Academy boulevards.
