All combined, the waves of pine trees, green grasses, rural setting, and large properties create a perfect setting for private horse property and abundant wildlife. In addition to a plethora of Ponderosa Pines, Black Forest is characterized by large rolling hills. But for the most part, Black Forest homes are safely tucked away within the branches of tall pines. Beyond the north and southern reaches of the forest there are large home lots in the open grasslands that offer grandiose views of the distant mountains. Homes are mostly on large 5-acre lots and are hard to see among the closely clustered trees. Whereas north and east Colorado Springs is fast and furious in growth and activity, Black Forest offers a bit of serenity and breathing room. Just as there is a stark contrast in the appearance of Black Forest with the rest of the region, there is similar contrast in the atmosphere. Its borders run from HWY 83 TO EASTONVILLE RD ON THE EAST, THEN COUNTY LINE ROAD ON THE NORTH END DOWN TO NEAR WOODMEN RD TO THE SOUTH. Colorado Springs and Black Forest seamlessly merge north and east of Woodmen Rd, Powers Blvd., and Hwy 83.
