Black Forest is a distinct and well-known residential community located northeast of Colorado Springs, recognized for its heavily wooded landscape, spacious properties, and quiet, rural character. Unlike many traditional subdivisions, Black Forest offers a low-density setting where homes are often set on large lots, creating a strong sense of privacy and connection to nature.
Homes in Black Forest are primarily single-family residences and custom-built homes, with construction spanning several decades and a wide variety of architectural styles. Many properties sit on acreage parcels, feature detached workshops or outbuildings, and offer room for horses or recreational use. The area attracts buyers looking for custom construction, flexible land use, and a lifestyle that blends mountain living with accessibility.
The average sales price in Black Forest typically falls in the mid-to-high $800,000s, while upper-end and newer custom homes commonly reach $1.2M–$1.8M+, particularly for larger acreage, newer construction, or homes with premium finishes and forested views. Pricing is driven by lot size, home quality, usability of the land, and proximity to amenities.
Despite its rural feel, Black Forest provides convenient access to everyday necessities. Woodmen Road and Highway 83 connect residents to Colorado Springs, Monument, and Interstate 25, making commuting manageable while preserving the area’s secluded atmosphere. The neighborhood is served by Academy School District 20 and surrounding districts, depending on location, adding to its appeal for families.
Black Forest is valued for its unique setting, larger parcels, and custom homes, making it one of the most desirable options for buyers seeking space, privacy, and a true Colorado lifestyle just outside the city.
