One of the larger neighborhoods in the west side Rockrimmon area is Comstock Village. A mature community of 595 homes nestled in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, Comstock Village has large trees and abundant indigenous wildlife.

  


Homeowners in Comstock Village enjoy a wide variety of views. These views include thickets of trees, hillside views, mountain views, which in some cases include Pikes Peak.

In keeping with Colorado Springs heritage of parks, trails and open space, there are forty four acres of common areas and trails encompassed within the boundaries of Comstock Village.

Before deciding to buy in the Rockrimmon area and Comstock Village in particular, you should be aware that the Rockrimmon area including Comstock Village is home to many species of wildlife including deer, bears, foxes, mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits and squirrels. 


The homes are surrounded by extensive areas of natural landscaping and forested areas. 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.

 

 

While residents enjoy semi-rural living they are just 5-6minutes from I-25. 

The South gate of the Air Force Academy is about 4 miles away. The Briaragte Business Campus is one exit north of the Academy entrance.

There are wide-ranging retail stores within 10 minutes including Sam’s Club, Home Depot and numerous specialty stores.

 

At the north end of the subdivision is Foothills Elementary School and Foothills Park. The park connects to an extended trail and green space which goes south about a mile and a quarter until it connects with Golden Hills Park.

Eagleview Middle School is about a mile away. All Comstock Village homes are zoned to highly commended Academy District 20 schools.  There are numerous special programs and activities depending on a student’s interest and needs.


The majority of the houses were built from the mid 70’s to mid 80’s. The smallest are 1,500+ square feet, the largest 4,500+, with an average of about 2,700+ square feet.  25% of the houses are larger than 3,000 square feet.

 

 

Since most of these houses were built 20-30 years ago some are in original condition but some have been extensively updated. There can be excellent value in purchasing houses at either end of the spectrum.

 Because of the variety of sizes and updates, sold prices range from the low 200’s to right around $400,000, with average sold prices in the low to mid 300’s.

With nearly 600 houses in Comstock Village there are often a dozen for sale. However finding the size, floor plan and updates you prefer can take some time. You should also be aware that often there are homes in this community or other communities that aren’t publicly listed for sale but may be available.
