The Broadmoor is one of Colorado Springs' most prestigious and recognizable neighborhoods, known for its timeless architecture, estate properties, and refined atmosphere. Centered around the world-renowned Broadmoor resort, the area offers a lifestyle defined by luxury, recreation, and natural beauty. Residents enjoy access to championship golf, hiking trails, Cheyenne Canyon, and top-rated District 12 schools, all while remaining just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs.
Welcome to the Broadmoor Area
Set against the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain, the Broadmoor area is one of Colorado Springs’ most established and recognizable communities. Tree-lined streets, beautifully landscaped properties, and impressive mountain views give the neighborhood a timeless atmosphere, while its location keeps residents close to downtown, outdoor recreation, dining, and many of the city’s best-known attractions.
The area developed alongside The Broadmoor resort, which Spencer and Julie Penrose opened in 1918. More than a century later, the resort and surrounding neighborhood remain closely connected to the history and character of southwest Colorado Springs. Historic estates, classic mid-century residences, custom-built homes, luxury patio homes, and newer hillside properties can all be found throughout the broader Broadmoor area.
Homes here are known for their individuality. Some feature traditional brick or stone architecture, established gardens, and spacious lawns, while others offer contemporary finishes, dramatic windows, and elevated views across the city. Mature trees and carefully maintained streets create a sense of privacy, even though the neighborhood is only a few miles from Downtown Colorado Springs.
Broadmoor real estate attracts buyers searching for distinctive architecture, an established setting, and convenient access to both the city and the mountains. The market includes historic luxury estates, golf course properties, custom residences, villas, condominiums, and low-maintenance patio homes. Because the area includes several smaller neighborhoods and developments, property styles, lot sizes, amenities, and association requirements can vary significantly.
Homes near the original resort tend to feature older architecture and established landscaping, while communities closer to Broadmoor Bluffs and the foothills often provide newer construction, wooded surroundings, and sweeping mountain or city views. Properties in the area may also include generous outdoor living spaces, multiple fireplaces, guest accommodations, home offices, and oversized garages.

Life in the Broadmoor area feels polished yet relaxed. Residents enjoy a peaceful residential atmosphere without giving up proximity to Downtown Colorado Springs, Interstate 25, and the city’s major conveniences. Mornings often begin with walks through quiet streets, coffee near the resort, or an early hike in the nearby foothills.
The neighborhood appeals to people who value history, architecture, recreation, and a well-established sense of place. Weekends may include brunch, golf, a visit to the zoo, or time spent exploring nearby trails. Evenings can be as quiet or social as residents choose, ranging from dinner at home with a mountain view to cocktails and fine dining at The Broadmoor.
While the area has a luxurious reputation, it does not feel entirely formal. The surrounding parks, wildlife, trails, and wooded hillsides keep the neighborhood connected to the easygoing outdoor lifestyle Colorado Springs is known for.
The Broadmoor resort serves as one of the area’s primary destinations for dining, entertainment, and special occasions. Its restaurant collection ranges from relaxed cafés and tavern-style dining to elegant meals and contemporary regional cuisine. Ristorante del Lago specializes in Italian dishes inspired by the country’s culinary regions, while Summit offers regional cuisine alongside wine, cocktails, and craft beer.
Residents can also enjoy afternoon drinks, holiday events, spa days, golf, and seasonal experiences around the resort grounds. The Broadmoor combines European-inspired elegance with the scenery and spirit of the American West, creating an atmosphere that feels closely tied to the identity of the neighborhood.
Beyond the resort, nearby South Nevada Avenue, Ivywild, and Downtown Colorado Springs offer an expanding collection of locally owned restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and entertainment venues. Everyday shopping, grocery stores, and professional services are also available within a short drive.
Outdoor recreation is one of the greatest advantages of living in the Broadmoor area. North Cheyenne Cañon Park offers a network of scenic trails through forested canyon terrain, with routes connecting hikers and cyclists to areas including Gold Camp Road, Stratton Open Space, and the Pike National Forest.
Stratton Open Space provides 318 acres of protected land, wildlife habitat, and trails immediately beside North Cheyenne Cañon Park. Its varied terrain and ecosystems make it a popular place for hiking, mountain biking, dog walking, and enjoying the foothills without traveling far from home.
The Broadmoor’s Seven Falls is another signature attraction. The series of waterfalls sits inside a dramatic canyon and offers walking paths, viewpoints, stairs, and hiking trails above the falls.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is also located nearby. Set across 146 mountainside acres, the zoo combines animal exhibits, conservation programs, interactive experiences, and elevated views over Colorado Springs.
Golfers enjoy having close proximity to the historic Broadmoor Golf Club. Its original course was designed by Donald Ross and opened alongside the resort in 1918, contributing to the area’s longstanding reputation as a destination for golf and recreation.
Much of the Broadmoor area is served by Cheyenne Mountain School District 12. Attendance boundaries vary by address, so families should confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before purchasing a home.
