The Neighborhood:
This convenient, charming studio is located in the National Historic District of Old Colorado City, a neighborhood on the west side of Colorado Springs that’s dripping with character. Settled in the mid-19th century, it presents a mix of residences and commercial buildings boasting distinctive vintage architecture. It’s a well-loved corner of the city offering unique options for dining and shopping, as well as museums, street festivals, and more.
Once you’ve worn out Old Colorado City, you’ll want to tackle Downtown (7 minutes away by car) and Manitou Springs (3 minutes). Downtown provides the most cosmopolitan vibe in the city, with entertainment venues, nightlife, museums, dining, shopping and more. Manitou Springs is equally delightful, but in quite the opposite way. A tiny, endearing town with a long history, Manitou Springs is well worth a visit, with art galleries, shopping, and both casual and fine dining.
If you’re an outdoors enthusiast, your opportunities for fun are plentiful and near. Colorado Springs and the surrounding Rockies provide exhilarating fresh-air activities including hiking, rafting, skiing, snowshoeing, rafting, hunting, fishing, ziplining and much more. You’re never more than a few minutes from a trail, park, open space, or breathtaking vista.
A few of the most popular nearby outdoor attractions include:
Red Rock Canyon Open Space: hiking trails, bike park (5 minutes)
Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center: ancient rock formations tower 300 feet overhead (5 minutes)
Bear Creek Regional Park East: hiking and biking trails, tennis courts, playground (8 minutes)
Of course, no trip to Colorado Springs would be complete without a trip to Pikes Peak, a/k/a “America’s Mountain,” reaching 14,115 feet into the sky and offering views nothing short of stunning (15 minutes).

We recommend that you have a car or use Uber or Lyft when traveling in the Pikes Peak Region. We're happy to provide bus schedules and maps too if you'd like to use public transportation.
