Homes for sale in Academy School District 20

Homes for Sale in Academy District 20

I have focused on selling homes in Academy School District 20 from day one of my real estate career in 2006. Why? Because when I reported to USNORTHCOM in 2002, it was highly suggested by all of my co-workers at Peterson AFB, that Academy District 20 has the best schools, affordable housing, and is the best place to raise children in Colorado Springs. Sure, the drive might be a little longer, but no regrets after living in Pine Creek of Briargate, for the past 15+ years. My two boys were educated in Mountain View Elementary School, Challenger Middle School, and Pine Creek High School.

Academy District 20 neighborhoods are located in North Colorado Springs in four larger areas of our Multi-Listing Service (MLS).  These areas include Briargate, N/W, Northgate, and Black Forest. There is a small area of District 20 homes in the Northeast area of Colorado Springs, but it only includes a few small neighborhoods.

Each MLS area is made up of several smaller subdivisions. I prepare a Market Analysis for Academy District 20 homes each month, as well as three of the MLS areas in District 20. This helps me to explain the value of living in District 20. The Average District 20 sales price is typically $50,000 to $70,000 higher than the average sales price for all homes in our MLS making District 20 a good investment. Check out my annual update to the Housing Analysis by School District for Colorado Springs.
After looking at the details of several properties, you will eventually be asked to register. By registering you have the ability to save your search and receive updates as properties that match your criteria are posted. 

Briargate (All Briargate Homes for Sale)

Briargate boundaries include I-25 to the west, Woodmen Road to the south, Old Ranch Road to the north, and Powers to the east.  Homes in this area can range from condos or townhouses in the low $100,000 to well over a million.

Black Forest (All Black Forest Homes for Sale including D49)

Black Forest is one of the largest areas of the MLS by square miles, but because the homes are mostly on larger lots, there are actually fewer homes, thus fewer homes on the market as well. The eastern section of Black Forest is serviced by D49, though the boundary lines are not clearly defined.
