The Trails in Aspen Ridge is a newer, master-planned residential community located in southeastern Colorado Springs. The neighborhood was started in 2019 and features a mix of single-family homes with open-concept designs and modern finishes. Houses range from three to six bedrooms, offering space for families of all sizes. The community includes a large, centrally located park with an accessible playground, pavilions, a sodded turf area, biking and walking trails, scenic seating, and even a dedicated asphalt pump track for kids. Residents are close to several grocery stores, shopping, dining, and recreational options such as Bluestem Prairie Open Space and Fountain Creek Regional Park. The location also allows for an easy commute to Peterson Space Force Base, Shriever Space Force Base, and Fort Carson. The Trails at Aspen Ridge was specifically designed with creative grading solutions to make the most of the area's rolling hills, giving many homes unique views and privacy from their neighbors.
The Trails in Aspen Ridge is part of the 80925 zip code and mainly served by Widefield School District 3, including Martin Luther King Jr Elementary and other nearby public schools. The community’s HOA takes care of the parks and open spaces, ensuring everything is well maintained for homeowners. New businesses and more amenities are being added as the area grows, making it a convenient place to live for both new families and commuters. A little-known fact is that the original park plan was created through a rare partnership between the developer and El Paso County Parks & Recreation, with community input shaping the playgrounds and trails.
