Located just east of Colorado Springs is Falcon, a fast-growing and affordable alternative to the Powers corridor. Falcon offers new home construction for different budgets, affordable older homes and townhomes, as well as luxury apartments, ranches, and large plots of open land. New shopping and restaurant options and infrastructure improvements have taken many families further east for a taste of small-town living.
The major growth in Colorado Springs over the last decade has happened along the Powers corridor. Stretching from the furthest points north and south, Powers has become one of the main arteries in the city. The area is also the preferred location for many enlisted and contracted military personnel stationed at Schriever and Peterson Air Force Base. The developments up and down the corridor offer a wide range of affordable housing options including new construction, planned communities, townhouses, and apartment complexes. The well-planned neighborhoods are always only a minute from grocery stores, restaurants, big box stores, and many, many other shopping and entertainment options.
