Stetson Hills / Powers Corridor

Stetson Hills and the Powers Corridor are the newer, still growing side of northeast Colorado Springs. Springs Ranch, Banning Lewis Ranch, and the subdivisions pushing out toward Marksheffel Road are all part of this stretch, and most of the housing here was built well after the year 2000.

What I like about this part of the city is the practicality of it. Powers Boulevard runs the retail and restaurant corridor for the entire northeast side, Peterson Space Force Base is close for military families, and you are getting newer construction and bigger floor plans for less than you would pay on the north side in Briargate or Northgate.

Stetson Hills / Powers Corridor At A Glance

• Where it is: Northeast Colorado Springs, centered on Powers Boulevard between roughly Constitution Avenue and Barnes Road, out toward Marksheffel Road.
• The vibe: Newer subdivisions, family friendly, built for convenience rather than character.
• Housing: Mostly homes built from the 2000s forward, bigger lots and floor plans than the older east side, priced below the north side's newer construction.

Life Outside the House

• Shopping and dining: The Powers Boulevard corridor carries the bulk of the northeast side's big box stores, chain restaurants, and everyday errands.
• Military access: Peterson Space Force Base sits right along this corridor, a major reason military families land here.
• Recreation: Springs Ranch and the newer parks scattered through Banning Lewis Ranch give this area more built in green space than the older east side.

Getting Around

Downtown Colorado Springs is about 20 to 25 minutes away depending on where along the corridor you are. Powers Boulevard itself works as a north to south bypass, so you can skip a lot of the busier central corridors entirely.

SCHOOLS (BIG IMPACT ON YOUR PROPERTY VALUES)

Most of this area falls under Falcon School District 49, with some pockets closer to Constitution Avenue bordering Academy School District 20. Always verify the exact address, since the district line can sit block to block out here.

If newer construction and easy Powers Boulevard access is what you are after, call or text me and I will walk you through which pocket of this corridor actually fits your budget.
