Stratmoor

A lot of the homes is Stratmoor are beginning to show the signs of aging in this older community. On the west side of the highway, the homes are all mostly single family and although the same is true for the east side of the highway, they tend to a bit smaller on the east. There are some very cute starter homes on the east side which give the appearance of being newer. The average home price in Stratmoor is $138,034 which is quite a bit lower than the state average. The average household income levels here are lower as well, at about $34,903. This may be in part due to the fact that many residents here are in the military and of those who aren't, many work in accommodation and food service.

One drawback to Stratmoor is that it lies on either side of I-25, so there is noise from the highway. The highway doesn't really get too backed up here though because it is a ways out of Colorado Springs. There are nice views of the mountains in some areas and in some of the neighborhoods on the western side you feel cozy with the foothills right outside your window. Although many of the homes are showing signs of aging, there are a few here and there that are real eyesores and it's too bad the city doesn't address them as it would help the area overall.

Stratmoor may be the perfect solution for those who work in Colorado Springs but need less expensive housing than you can find there.
