Courtyards at Woodmen Hills — Peyton, Colorado
Low-Maintenance Living in the Heart of the Falcon Area
Tucked inside the well-established Woodmen Hills development in Peyton, the Courtyards at Woodmen Hills represent a distinctly different ownership experience from the rest of the subdivision — and for many buyers, a highly appealing one. While the broader Woodmen Hills community is composed largely of detached single-family homes on generous lots, the Courtyards sections offer a more compact, low-maintenance lifestyle backed by active homeowners' association management and all the amenities the Woodmen Hills Metro District has to offer.
There are three Courtyards communities within Woodmen Hills: Courtyards at Woodmen Hills North, Courtyards at Woodmen Hills South (also known as Parkside), and Courtyards at Woodmen Hills West. Each operates under its own HOA, which handles front-yard landscaping, common area maintenance, trash collection, and snow removal — leaving residents with little maintenance to manage on their own. This setup has made the Courtyards especially popular with military families, busy professionals, and buyers who simply want more time to enjoy Colorado and less time managing a property.
Most homes in the Courtyards were built in the early 2000s, with newer homes in the West section arriving around 2004 and beyond. Builders such as MasterBilt Homes — an award-winning local builder known for quality construction including 2x6 framing, upgraded insulation, and superior trim packages — contributed to the area's reputation for well-crafted, livable homes. Floor plans typically range from about 1,000 to over 2,400 square feet, with most offering 3–4 bedrooms. Buyers looking for an additional bedroom or finished basement will find options scattered throughout all three sections. Lots are small by Woodmen Hills standards — generally 0.07 to 0.16 acres — which keeps the overall price point accessible, with homes currently ranging from the mid-$300,000s to the low $400,000s.
A Prime Location Inside Woodmen Hills
The Courtyards communities sit within walking distance of the Woodmen Hills Metro District's amenities and enjoy the same benefits as every other homeowner in the development. The Metro District — formed in 1995 — provides residents with water, wastewater, parks and recreation services, and streetlight maintenance, all without a Colorado Springs city property tax. Residents have easy access to two district recreation centers offering fitness equipment, outdoor pools, group fitness classes, youth programming, and swim lessons. Nearby, the Antler Creek Golf Course is open to the public at a reasonable daily fee — no membership required.
Geographically, the Courtyards are well-positioned between Meridian Road to the west and Eastonville Road to the east, placing residents just minutes from Highway 24 and the retail corridor near Falcon. The Falcon area's growing retail, dining, and service options continue to expand, and the First and Main shopping complex is roughly 15 minutes away. Because Woodmen Hills lies outside city limits, purchases made locally are exempt from Colorado Springs city sales tax — a tangible everyday benefit.
