Percheron is a new master-planned community in northeast Colorado Springs, located near East Woodmen Road and Banning Lewis Parkway. The neighborhood will include up to 2,900 homes, with a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and options for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Home designs range from cozy modern cottages to large multi-story homes with up to seven bedrooms, built by well-known names like Classic Homes, Lennar, and Vantage Homes. Percheron stands out for its balanced blend of urban amenities and outdoor living, featuring generous green spaces, parks, and miles of walking and biking trails. The neighborhood’s retail district and 600,000 square feet of commercial space will give residents quick access to shopping, dining, and daily services. Unlike many newer Colorado Springs neighborhoods, Percheron uses Colorado Springs Utilities for water and gas, ensuring steady and reliable city services. It's a rare find for new developments in the area.
Families in Percheron are zoned to Falcon School District 49, and a school site is planned within the community to support future growth. The new 125-acre regional sports complex will offer athletic fields and recreation space for all ages. The Percheron Master Association and Metro District handle neighborhood rules, landscaping, and the upkeep of parks and infrastructure, ensuring a well-maintained environment year-round. You can review the HOA guidelines and updates on the official Percheron community site. Use of ADUs and energy efficient home plans is encouraged, which may help homeowners generate rental income or create flexible multi-generational spaces. The land for Percheron used to be a working Percheron draft horse farm, and the neighborhood is named in honor of that heritage.
