Fountain

Fountain, Colorado is a charming city just south of Colorado Springs that offers a laid-back vibe, great access to outdoor adventures, and a strong sense of community. It’s especially popular among military families thanks to its close proximity to Fort Carson.

Here’s a quick rundown on Fountain:

🌲 Small-Town Feel, Big-Time Convenience

Fountain has a cozy, hometown vibe, but you’re still just a 15-20 minute drive from Colorado Springs. It’s perfect if you want quieter living without giving up access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.

🪖 Military-Friendly

Fountain is one of the top spots for military relocation in the Pikes Peak region. It’s located right next to Fort Carson, and it's an easy commute to Peterson Space Force Base and Schriever Space Force Base too.

🏠 Affordable Housing

Compared to other parts of El Paso County, Fountain tends to have more affordable homes and newer developments. Neighborhoods like Mesa Ridge, Fountain Valley Ranch, and Ventana are popular among homebuyers.

🎒 Schools

Fountain is served by Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, which includes both on-post and off-post schools. The district is known for strong support of military families and a focus on student growth.

🌄 Outdoor Fun

You're close to Fountain Creek Regional Park, which has trails, wetlands, and spots for birdwatching. Plus, you're never far from hiking, fishing, or mountain views. It’s Colorado, after all.

🍔 Local Favorites

You’ll find your essentials—grocery stores, gyms, and fast food—but also a few local gems. Fountain has its own farmer’s market and a growing small business scene. And if you need more options, Powers Blvd and South Colorado Springs are right up the road.
