Pinecliff is a west-side Colorado Springs neighborhood, located between Interstate 25 and the foothills. It is bordered by Ute Valley Park to the north and surrounded by wooded bluffs, creating a sense of seclusion while still being only fifteen minutes from downtown. The area features custom homes and townhomes built in the 1970s and 1980s, many with large decks, evergreens, and stunning views of the Front Range. Townhouse and single-family home prices typically range from the low $300,000s up to more than $1 million. Community HOA membership is encouraged but not required, and the Pinecliff Homeowners' Association manages neighborhood events and supports fire mitigation efforts.
Residents enjoy immediate access to local trails, with some paths leading directly into Ute Valley Park for hiking, jogging, and mountain biking. The 3-acre Pinecliff Park offers a playground, a multi-use field, and a basketball court, all within walking distance for families. Neighborhood schools are in Academy School District 20 and include Rockrimmon Elementary, Eagleview Middle, and Air Academy High, all highly rated for academics and activities. Nearby shopping is easy with major stores, restaurants, and local favorites, like Marigold Café and Bakery, minutes away. Many hillside homes have walkout basements and elevated decks that provide panoramic views, allowing neighbors to spot deer and other wildlife almost daily.
