As the crow flies, these single family homes at Centennial Glen are within a mile of the Pike National Forest. They are just about as far west in Colorado Springs as you can go and still find the design, and features of recent construction.
The hybrid of single family houses with the patio home concept of maintenance free living has been a huge hit in Colorado Springs. Centennial Glen follows that successful pattern. The monthly HOA fee covers covenant enforcement, common utilities, lawn care, snow removal and trash removal.
All Colorado Springs neighborhoods can have wildlife show up unexpectedly. That is especially true in the Rockrimmon / Peregrine area since they are west of Interstate 25 and the closest to the mountains.
In Centennial Glen you can count on seeing deer, rabbits and squirrels, sometimes in your yard. But you may also see (hopefully just in the area and not in your yard) bears, foxes, mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats. All of these indigenous animals are naturally wary of humans so you shouldn’t have a problem. But you may see them occasionally.
All of the houses in the outer bands of the Rockrimmon area are surrounded by extensive areas of natural landscaping and forest. It is not practical or feasible to attempt the relocation or reduction of wildlife population. No governmental agencies will respond to a request for trapping or eliminating indigenous wildlife unless it is a life threatening situation.
Centennial Glen was built out in the early 2000’s.
There are about 50 home sites. The smallest floor plans are 1900+ square feet and the largest are 3,900+. The average size is just over 3,000 square feet.

If there is a possible drawback to this neighborhood it is distance to schools. While the vast majority of the Rockrimmon area is zoned to the Academy District 20 schools, the far west side of the area is zoned to District 11 schools.
