Stratmoor Hills

Stratmoor Hills sits in south Colorado Springs, tucked between Fort Carson and the Broadmoor area, and it does not try to be anything fancier than what it is. This is an older, working neighborhood built mostly from the 1960s through the 1990s, full of ranch and split level homes on modest lots. If you want a builder showroom finish and streets that were paved last year, this is not your sub-area. If you want a real entry point into Colorado Springs at a price the newer parts of town cannot touch, keep reading.

This is also one of the more mixed sub-areas on this map, with a healthy share of long time owners next to a good number of renters, which keeps the streets a little more varied than the newer subdivisions further north. Fountain Creek runs along the edge of the neighborhood, and Quail Lake Park is close enough for an easy afternoon. I-25 and Highway 115 are both minutes away, so the commute downtown or out to Fort Carson is genuinely easy.

SCHOOLS (BIG IMPACT ON YOUR PROPERTY VALUES)

Stratmoor Hills is served primarily by Harrison School District 2, with Stratmoor Hills Elementary and Otero Elementary as the neighborhood's own elementary options, feeding into Fox Meadow Middle School and Harrison High School. That is worth knowing since Fort Carson right next door falls under a different district, Fountain-Fort Carson District 8, so always confirm the assigned school for the exact address before you fall in love with a house.
