Patty Jewett, Colorado Springs

The Patty Jewett neighborhood is a vibrant, tight-knit, and insanely popular community located on the east side of downtown Colorado Springs. At the center of this neighborhood is the Patty Jewett Golf Course. Established in 1897, this 18-hole course is a public club and predates all but two other golf clubs in the country. Completed in 1910, the course sits under a canopy of 100-year-old trees and provides a park-like backdrop for the entire neighborhood to enjoy.

In 1919, William Jewett a member of the Town and Gown Golf Club purchased the golf course property and donated it to the city of Colorado Springs in honor of his wife, Patty Jewett. The original 1899 clubhouse remains in the neighborhood today as a private home located on the corner of Columbia and El Paso Streets. The neighborhood grew up around the golf course with the southwest part of the area developing first and then development moving toward El Paso Street. The Shook's Run Trail was developed on the land where the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad tracks carried passenger north from the Santa Fe Depot east of downtown Colorado Springs.

The Patty Jewett neighborhood is both charming and traditional, featuring a mix of traditional bungalows, Spanish colonial, and craftsmen-style homes. The current trend in the neighborhood is to update these homes in a more contemporary, mid-century style, even "popping the top" which means adding an additional level onto the home.
Generally speaking, the Patty Jewett neighborhood is bordered by Union on the east, Uintah on the south, Wahsatch on the west, and La Salle and the Bonnyville neighborhood  on the north.

The Patty Jewett Golf Club is the main draw of the area, providing a great restaurant, and activities in addition to the golf. The Bonn Shopping Center also is a draw with a coffee shop, Ace Hardware and some other local businesses. The Good Neighbors Meeting House is also a popular location to grab something to eat or drink at the Patty Jewett Bar, or to sit a while to recover from your bike ride on Shook's Run Trail.
