Black Forest

Black Forest is a suburb of Colorado Springs in El Paso County. Living in Black Forest offers residents a rural feel while still being adjacent to excellent schools and city amenities such as beautiful parks and shopping.

This area is ideal for the privacy that living in a rural area provides. Parcels of land 5 acres or larger allow plenty of room to keep horses or other domestic animals, and many residents are quite familiar with the sight of wandering wildlife such as deer and coyote as well.

As the highest area of land east of the Rocky Mountains, the elevation of Black Forest ranges from 6,500 to 7,800 feet and affords a panoramic view of Pikes Peak, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the Colorado Springs valley.
