Whimsical rock formations at Paint Mines Interpretive Park
Families who want to enjoy a meal in the fresh air come to the playground and the shaded picnic area at Homestead Ranch Park. The park’s sandy trails are well-used by bikers, hikers, horse riders and dog walkers. Visitors can enjoy views of the park’s lake, where fisherman can find their next catch. SBR Motorsports Park offers go-kart rentals and a half-mile asphalt road course, or an arrive-and-race championship series for competitive drivers.
Tall, distinctively shaped rock formations add fancy to Paint Mines Interpretive Park with bands of naturally occurring yellow, red and purple hues. Though it may seem like a large-scale art exhibit, the color variations on the rocks are the result of a natural erosion process. The softer, colorful clay, once collected by Native Americans for paint and pottery, erodes faster than other layers, leaving recognizable spire formations. Vibrant wildflowers add more color to the trails in late summer.
Homestead Park is a popular regional park with trails and a playground in Peyton.

New builds on spacious lots in Peyton
Space is abundant in Peyton, with some large enough for agricultural use. Although some farmers have expanded to surrounding areas, many of Peyton's residents own livestock or grow their own crops. Many of the homes in Peyton are traditional contemporary, and the median single family home price is about $550,000 - higher than the national median of about $420,000. The market is fairly stable, with homes values trending upward since 2022. New builds and empty lots with ample acreage are common finds.

Route 24 connects Peyton to Colorado Springs
Route 24 is just south of Peyton’s central square, connecting to Interstate 70. Peyton residents can enjoy the lifestyle of a small farming community while staying under a 40-minute drive to Colorado Springs and the larger nearby town of Falcon. Winters can bring heavy snow, so drivers should be careful commuting after a storm — though the county plows the highway, windy conditions can make it dangerous. Peyton and surrounding El Paso County are near the western sliver of Tornado Alley, with the last major recorded twister touching down in June 2023.
Crime rates in Peyton below Colorado average
Crime statistics specific to Peyton are not readily available. According to data from the FBI, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office reports property and violent crime rates significantly lower than national and state rates.
