Upper Skyway

Perched high along the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain, the Upper Skyway neighborhood—often called “Top of Skyway” or “Skyway Heights”—is one of Colorado Springs’ most scenic and desirable residential areas. From nearly every vantage point, residents enjoy expansive views that stretch across the city, Garden of the Gods, and the plains beyond, while mountain backdrops rise dramatically behind the community.

Homes in Upper Skyway range from established mid-century designs to newer custom residences, many thoughtfully built to highlight the spectacular scenery. Large decks, generous windows, and spacious lots are common features, making the neighborhood especially appealing for those who want both privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors.

Families are drawn to Upper Skyway for its placement within the award-winning Cheyenne Mountain School District 12. Schools such as Gold Camp Elementary, Cheyenne Mountain Junior High, and Cheyenne Mountain High are recognized for academic excellence, offering parents peace of mind and children a strong educational foundation.

Despite its elevated and tranquil setting, the neighborhood remains highly convenient. Downtown Colorado Springs is just 10 to 15 minutes away, and nearby districts like Old Colorado City, the Broadmoor area, and Ivywild provide easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday services. At the same time, trailheads and open spaces such as Bear Creek Park and North Cheyenne Cañon are practically at your doorstep, offering endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and wildlife encounters.

For those seeking breathtaking views, top-rated schools, and the perfect balance of mountain serenity and city convenience, Upper Skyway stands out as a premier Colorado Springs community.
