The Voice's View on Woodmoor Park

Woodmoor Park offers low-maintenance townhome living and open mountain range views at an affordable price in Monument. The neighborhood is being developed and built solely by Pulte Homes, offering amply-sized town homes - about 1,500 square feet with an optional two-car garage - featuring open floor plans. Woodmoor Park is close to both Denver and Colorado Springs; it is a great place to be if you work in Colorado Springs and your spouse works in Denver. Snow and trash removal are included in the homeowners' association fees. Monument is becoming one of the most desirable places to live in the area thanks in part to its solid school district. Many builders are moving toward Monument.


Woodmoor Park Builder

Pulte is the largest national builder with the best customer satisfaction program. They build in 51 markets in 26 states and have built nearly 500,000 homes in about 50 years. They have a long and great history and reputation in the new home industry. They are very customer-focused and offer good quality, which includes a great 10-year structural warranty. The base price point in Woodmoor Park starts at $190,000.

Schools/districts

Monument is becoming one of the most desirable places to live in the region thanks in part to its solid school district, Lewis-Palmer School District 38.

Lewis-Palmer Elementary School works hard to help children become positive community members. They place strong emphasis on school security and child safety. They cover a wide subject base that includes civics and economics.

Lewis-Palmer Middle School is a John Irwin School of Excellence, which means it rates in the top eight percent of all Colorado middle schools according to the Colorado Department of Education. It is also a High Performance Power Library School, having been recognized for its outstanding Library Media Center.

Lewis-Palmer High School strives to create an environment that emphasizes the value of learning rather than grades. The staff encourages collaborative discussion in the classroom and focuses on celebrating individual student success.

Residents in this part of town also have quick access to these great entertainment experiences to the south in main Colorado Springs: Downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs World Arena, IMAX and Cinemark 16 Theatre, Colorado Springs Sky Sox baseball and The Western Mining Museum.

Shopping

While Monument offers standard shopping, much of the best shopping is outside the town in main Colorado Springs and Castle Rock.

About twenty minutes to the north, residents enjoy the Outlets at Castle Rock, featuring stores like Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Kitchen Collection and Borders, among many others.

Woodmoor Park residents have the opportunity to enjoy many of the trails around Monument Rock, for which the town is named. The trails are conducive to horseback riding, dog walking and jogging. Other nearby trails support extensive hiking and biking. Palmer Lake is a great fishing destination, and it also provides easy access to the Sante Fe Regional Trail. Residents can also enjoy golf at any of several public and private courses. The Tri-Lakes YMCA Family Center is scheduled to open this spring, providing basketball, swimming, racquetball and other fitness opportunities. Of course, residents may also enjoy the excellent recreation opportunities to the south, including visiting the Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
