Centered on the east side of Colorado Springs, 80909 blends suburban calm with urban convenience, framed by sunny high-desert weather, big-sky views of Pikes Peak, and quick access to downtown via Platte Avenue and Union/Academy. You’ll find everyday staples like King Soopers and Safeway, the Citadel Mall’s big-box shopping, Planet Fitness, and a mix of local taquerias, pho spots, and coffee stands along Academy and Platte. Outdoor time is easy with the Rock Island Trail for biking and jogging, Palmer Park’s sandstone overlooks and dog areas nearby, and Prospect Lake at Memorial Park just a short hop for paddle and picnic days. The vibe is friendly and unpretentious—longtime residents, military households, and young professionals—plus a growing arts streak highlighted by the colorful Knob Hill Urban Arts District murals. According to Zillow’s Rental Manager market trends, recent months show a median asking rent around the mid-$1,500s, with most listings roughly in the $1,100–$2,100+ range depending on size and updates. Pet friendly and practical, it’s a convenient base with plenty to do close by.
