Cheyenne Mountain is one of Colorado Springs' most desirable areas, stretching along the base of its namesake mountain on the city's south side. Homes here range from $500,000 to over $1.5 million, with a diverse mix of established ranch-style homes, custom builds, and newer luxury properties. The area is anchored by Cheyenne Mountain School District 12, consistently ranked as one of the top school districts in Colorado, with Cheyenne Mountain High School being a major draw for families.
