Incredible scenery surrounds this central Colorado military base

Military Suburban Affordable Convenient Outdoors Mountain Nature

The military installation of Fort Carson occupies a scenic space just south of Colorado Springs. Cheyenne Mountain and the peaks to the west provide incredible views to the personnel of the fort and the surrounding community. Townhome communities on base and apartments in surrounding cities like Stratmoor and Security-Widefield make for a diverse field of options for anyone looking to stay close to work.

There are endless outdoor destinations to explore in this part of Colorado, but there are also more metropolitan luxuries to enjoy. There’s plenty of shopping centers and a variety of cuisines along CanAm highway to the east of Fort Carson. The city of Colorado Springs is just eight miles north should you want to explore the amenities of a bustling mountain city.
