Colorado Springs Neighborhood Report - Deer Creek at Northgate

Deer Creek at Northgate is one of a handful of newer neighborhoods in Northgate - the northernmost part of Colorado Springs.

Deer Creekis just North of Interquest Parkway and east of Voyager. The southern border of Deer Creek is dotted with a few small office buildings and is not far from New life Church and the World Prayer Center. To the North is Liberty Heights - a Senior Lifestyle Community, and the Southern edge of Trailridge. Deer Creek offers excellent views of Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountains - as it is situated on a series of foothills. It is hard to find a home in this neighborhood without wonderful views. The eastern border is still open space - but is currently slated to be a residential neighborhood of the Flying Horse golf course community.

There are strict HOA's keeping the neighborhood in pristine condition. Furthermore, the back yards are outlined with landscaping efforts - like trees and shrubbery, or with split rail fences, as no privacy fences are allowed in this neighborhood.

The homes in Deer Creek were built between 2002 and 2006 by reputable local builders Classic Homes and Keller Homes. (Between the Deer Creek Neighborhood and Voyager Parkway, there are more new homes being built by Richmond American Homes. Although they are adjacent to Deer Creek - they are not the same neighborhood. That neighborhood is called Wildwood Ridge.)

Two stories and ranchers are the types of homes that you will find in Deer Creek. Homes have 4 - 6 bedrooms, 3-4 bathrooms and almost all homes come with a 3 car garage. Homes, here, range from a little over 3,000 total square feet to almost 4,200 s.f..

There are only about 6 streets of homes that make up Deer Creek - so, it is not a large neighborhood. In the past 6 months, 3 homes have sold - ranging from $375,000 to $393,000. With a very few exceptions, the average days on market is about 53 days. That's less than 2 months - well below the Colorado Springs' average.
