Eagles Nest is one of the smaller subdivisions in Rockrimmon with just 46 homes built between 1993 and 1996.
It is located just off the intersection of W. Rockrimmon Blvd. and Vindicator Dr.
Eagles Nest is less than a mile from the sprawling Hewlett-Packard campus which is just one of several technology employers in the area.
The technology companies can be found just a few miles south of Rockrimmon as well as extending to the north, with the FedEx campus being about the furthest, at 10 miles north on I-25.
Eagles Nest is about 2 miles from I-25 and 4 miles from the south gate of the Air Force Academy.
Right across Vindicator Dr. is a large shopping center which includes the Rockrimmon Library. The Pikes Peak Library System has been ranked in the top 10 in the nation.
Here is the link to the Pikes Peak Library system.
Also just across Vindicator Dr. is Eagleview Middle School, a campus of the highly recognized Academy District 20. Foothills Elementary School is 1.5 miles away.
Adjacent to Foothills Elementary is Foothills Park. There is a green belt / trail which leads from Foothills Park down to Golden Hills Park.
And behind Eagleview Middle School is Ute Valley Park, 1705 Vindicator Dr. (parking lot on Vindicator just east of Centennial Blvd.). It has a portable toilet, mountain biking and hiking trails, a wetland area and covers 338 acres.
Just north of Ute Valley Park is Wilson Ranch Park, complete with a pool and water park, skateboard park, tennis courts, basketball courts, a play area and a big green space.
And just north of Wilson Ranch Park is Oak Valley Ranch Park which has a softball field, basketball courts, a play area and extra green space for soccer practice.
If you are getting the impression that Colorado Springs is a park intensive city, you are right. Here is the link for the full run down on the City parks, trails and open spaces.
When considering neighborhoods and homes west of I-25, you should be aware that the Rockrimmon / Peregrine area, including Eagles Nest, is home to an abundance of wildlife including bears, deer, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, rabbits, squirrels and other animals.
The houses in Eagles Nest are very close to areas of open space, forested areas and natural landscaping. It is not feasible or practical to pursue the reduction or relocation of the wildlife.
Governmental agencies will not take action on a request for trapping or eliminating indigenous wildlife unless there are life threatening circumstances.
Wildlife are normally wary of people and pose a minimal threat if you abide by the recommendations of wildlife officials. Never feed wildlife or approach them.
