Looking for a neighborhood that offers mountain views and open space? Walden Preserve, Walden III, Walden East, and Walden Pines are tucked just north of Colorado Springs. These areas combine peaceful living with the convenience of being close to both Colorado Springs and Monument. You'll find homes surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines or open meadows, and many lots offer privacy with large acreages. Walden Preserve stands out with over 93 acres of open space and nearly five miles of community trails for hiking, biking, and fishing. Walden III is the original section, offering established landscaping and access to scenic walking trails. Some people don't realize most homes in Walden Preserve get city-style water and sewer amenities, removing the need for a private well or septic system, a rare benefit in this part of the Black Forest.
Walden East and Walden Pines each have their own charm. Walden East offers quiet streets and a smaller community feel, while Walden Pines features newer homes built since 2017, surrounded by mature trees for added privacy. All four neighborhoods belong to the highly rated Lewis-Palmer School District 38, which makes them a top pick for families. Residents love the park-like setting, easy access to local restaurants, and proximity to shopping. Here’s something hardly anyone knows: there's a neighborhood pond you can actually fish in, tucked away inside Walden Preserve, perfect for relaxing afternoons without a crowd. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or a peaceful retreat, these neighborhoods offer a unique mix that is hard to find elsewhere in Colorado Springs.
