If you’re moving to Fort Carson & are looking to live off post, I highly recommend checking these areas out!
• Fountain
Super close to post, affordable, and very military-heavy community. Great for shorter commutes 🚙
Inside tip: they have one of the best coffee spots EVER!!
• Security–Widefield Area
Right outside base with a mix of older homes and newer pockets 🏡
Insider tip: easy access to Fountain and quick jump onto 25 takes you anywhere
• Stratmoor
Established area with quick I-25 access and typically more budget-friendly homes close to Fort Carson 🌸
Inside tip: one of the best commutes to Fort Carson hands down
• Cheyenne Mountain / Broadmoor Area
Closer to the mountains with beautiful views, trails, and still a reasonable commute 🏔️
Inside tip: this neighborhood is the one for you if you want to feel all the nature vibes all the time
• Powers Corridor (Southeast COS)
More retail, newer builds, and a “suburban city” vibe while still staying within commuting distance 🛍️
Inside tip: the BEST shopping spots (minus the promenade shops) & any restaurant you can think of
