Looking for a neighborhood in Fountain, CO with modern homes, family-friendly amenities, and a peaceful vibe? Ventana might be exactly what you’re after. As one of the only communities in Fountain with a private pool and recreation center, it’s easy to see why this neighborhood stands out.
Built in 2017 and still expanding, Ventana offers a master-planned layout with quiet streets, open spaces, and easy access to parks, schools, and nearby military bases. In the video above, we give you a visual tour of the area—but here’s a full breakdown if you prefer to read.
Where Is Ventana Located?
Ventana is located on the south side of Fountain, just off Old Pueblo Road. It’s about 10 minutes from First & Main Town Center and 20 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. For military families, Fort Carson’s Gate 20 is right around the corner—making it a top choice for Army households who want a short commute.
Despite being close to everything, Ventana still feels quiet and tucked away. It’s far enough from major roads to avoid the noise but close enough to keep daily errands convenient.
What Makes Ventana Special?
What sets Ventana apart from other Fountain neighborhoods is its private amenities. Residents enjoy a community recreation center and pool, which is a rare perk in this part of town. The recreation center includes a reservable great room for events (capped at 25 people, with a refundable deposit). Pool access runs about $38 per month, billed quarterly.
You’re also close to some of Fountain’s best parks:
These parks offer trails, skate parks, equestrian areas, and playgrounds—great for outdoor lovers and families alike.
Ventana backs up to open fields near Jimmy Camp Creek, which means you’ll occasionally spot deer, rabbits, or even a coyote. You may also hear distant train horns from time to time, adding to the small-town, semi-rural atmosphere.
What Are the Homes Like in Ventana?
Most homes in Ventana were built around 2019 and fall in the 2,000 to 2,300 square foot range. You'll find a mix of ranch-style and two-story homes, many with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and attached garages. Inside, they feature open layouts, large kitchens, and modern finishes.
If you’re looking for newer homes in Fountain, CO, Ventana is one of the more up-to-date neighborhoods available. Many homes still feel brand-new, especially in newer phases like Ventana South, which is currently under construction.
Community Size and Growth
The Ventana Metropolitan District covers 151 acres and continues to grow. Several sections are still under development, with new homes being built each year.
Because it’s a relatively new neighborhood, some landscaping is still maturing. Many homes started with basic builder sod and young trees, so it may take a few more years for the neighborhood to feel fully lush and established.
School District Information
Ventana is located in Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, which has a strong reputation for supporting military families. Local parents appreciate the variety of programs and school support available, especially for students who frequently relocate.
Ventana Metro District Fees: What to Know
Ventana is part of a Metro District, not an HOA, but the fees can feel similar. Homeowners pay an additional mill levy—up to 40 mills—on top of standard property taxes. That can add anywhere from $800 to $1,200 annually, depending on your home’s assessed value.
In addition, membership to the recreation center is mandatory and runs around $90 per quarter. While many residents enjoy the amenities, others who don’t use the pool or gym often feel the costs are steep.
These fees are not hidden, but they do catch some buyers off guard. If you're considering moving to Ventana, it’s smart to factor these into your monthly housing budget upfront.
Neighborhood Vibe
Ventana offers a peaceful, community-oriented environment with sidewalks, well-kept homes, and family-friendly energy. While it's quieter than neighborhoods farther north, it’s still just a short drive from Colorado Springs, Fountain’s shops and restaurants, and nearby trails.
