Widefield
Slow country living paired with spacious homes attract residents to Widefield. “Neighborhoods in Fountain give you the most bang for your buck,” says Realtor Melanie Weseman of Citadel Realty LLC. “In Widefield, you can find homes with land that cost a lot less than what most people pay in Colorado Springs.” Widefield’s outskirts location creates a way of life that appeals to people who have what they need and desire little else.
Houses range from $350,000 to $525,000, with split-level homes built during the 1960s and 1970s as your most common option. These well-maintained properties include up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms across 2,000 square feet and are often made of brick and siding. Widefield residents care most about maximizing their space inside and outside; many homes sit on a quarter acre. Neighbors take pride in their manicured lawns, often including rock gardens and low-water plantings in their grassy yards.
Students can attend Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, Janitell Junior High and Mesa Ridge High Schools. King received an overall A from Niche, while Janitell and Mesa Ridge got B’s. Meanwhile, Great Schools gave the elementary school a 6/10, the middle school a 5/10 and the high school a 3/10. King Elementary is walkable and specializes in project-based learning, which provides students with opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge in various ways. Additionally, the junior high and high schools sit beside each other.
An 18-hole disc golf course joins walking trails stretching across the 50-acre Widefield Community Park. The playground has a zipline, sit-and-spin, and traditional swings, slides, and ladders. Athletes can practice their pitch at the baseball backstop and play pickup games on the basketball court. You’ll also find two recently installed pickleball courts. Drive 2 miles south and arrive at Fountain Mesa Park. Young children love the park’s bright yellow and purple playground, which has a challenge course made of unique climbing structures. Older kids and teens are just a few feet away, perfecting tricks at the skatepark.
When you want to take a break from cooking, take a seat at The Local Table, known for serving hearty American meals; the Classic Smash Burger is a consistent favorite among customers and is made with 12 ounces of beef, house pickles, caramelized onions, “shredduce” (shredded lettuce) and bacon. On their way to work, you’ll also find many neighbors stopping in MoGlo Espresso for a morning cup of coffee. This local spot serves seasonal lattes, handmade frappes and smoothies.
Big R General Store sits in the same shopping center as MoGlo and The Local Table. This is your closest option department store and is often where neighbors pick up agricultural equipment to maintain their land. Drive 3 miles south and grocery shop from Safeway, or head one mile north and pull into Walmart Supercenter to run errands and pick up groceries at the same time. For more options, follow Highway 85 north into Colorado Springs.
A rural suburb where people can afford the home they want that provides the space they need; life is simple in Widefield—and that’s how neighbors like it.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
