Falcon

Situated along Highway 24, Falcon is a quiet, scenic community just northeast of Colorado Springs. Encompassing several neighborhoods, this beautiful area offers diverse real estate options at varying prices. This guide provides insight into the community, along with a consistently updated list of Falcon homes for sale right now.

What Makes it Unique?

Originally developed as a railroad crossing for the famous Denver and New Orleans Railroad, Falcon has a fascinating history that dates back to the 1800s. Following some challenges, including a famous, destructive flood in 1935, the area remained undeveloped for decades, serving mostly as a quiet home for ranchers. As the greater Colorado Springs area expanded in the 1990s, however, Falcon nearly doubled in population, leading to significant growth in available real estate which continues to this day.

Not really a city by definition, Falcon is an unincorporated area that includes the majority of neighborhood developments along Meridian Road and the area around the corner of Meridian and E Woodmen Roads. Falcon neighborhoods include Elkhorn Estates, The Meadows, Meridian Ranch, Woodmen Hills, Falcon Heights and Paint Brush Hills, formerly known as Falcon Hills.

A peaceful area with a suburban feel, Falcon is a great community for people who want a quiet lifestyle without having to sacrifice the many advantages of living near a larger, metropolitan city. Located approximately 25 minutes south of Colorado Springs, Falcon offers quick access to celebrated attractions, including U.S. Air Force Academy Planetarium, Western Museum of Mining & Industry, Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Museum, Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, Glen Eyrie Castle and Garden of the Gods, along with great dining, shopping and entertainment. It’s also perfectly placed amid a gorgeous natural landscape near great hiking, biking, fishing and other outdoor recreation.
