Discovery Neighborhood in Colorado Springs, CO

Discovery is a unique and established neighborhood on the northwest side of Colorado Springs, near the Air Force Academy and just west of Interstate 25. Developed in the 1970s across 130 wooded acres, Discovery’s streets were designed to follow the natural landscape, preserving mature evergreens, rock outcrops, and open spaces. Homes here include split-levels, contemporary craftsman, condos, and large custom estates. Sidewalks connect easily to local trailheads, making it simple to walk, jog, or bike through the neighborhood. Discovery Park, donated by the original developers, offers playgrounds, fields, and easy access to mountain views. A little-known fact: many original street signs and wooden lamp posts from the early days of Discovery are still in use today, giving the area a timeless charm.

Discovery is zoned to well-rated Academy School District 20, with nearby schools including Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary, Challenger Middle School, and Pine Creek High School. The active, self-managed Discovery Homeowners Association maintains neighborhood covenants, organizes events, and supports fire mitigation efforts for safety. The community uses 80919 as its zip code. Residents can quickly reach grocery stores, Chapel Hills Mall, and local favorites like The Margarita at Pine Creek. Discovery attracts buyers who want natural surroundings, easy access to city life, and homes that hold value over time.
