Cross Creek

WELCOME TO CROSS CREEK

Spacious Homes with a Community Feel

Cross Creek at Mesa Ridge is a well-planned community located south of Mesa Ridge Parkway in the Fountain Valley area of metropolitan Colorado Springs. The neighborhood features modern single-family homes and townhomes built primarily within the last 15 years, designed with functional layouts and contemporary finishes. It sits in an award-winning community — Fountain has been recognized as an “All-America City” by the National Civic League for its high quality of life.

​

Homes range from approximately 1,100 to 4,000 square feet, with styles that include ranch homes, multi-level designs, and two-story floor plans. Most properties offer 3 to 4 bedrooms with attached garages. The community’s smart planning means larger homes on thoughtfully sized lots, providing additional space without sacrificing neighborhood cohesion. Builders include well-known names like Lennar, Pulte, and Legendary Homes. The townhome section — The Heights at Cross Creek — was built by Pulte Homes and offers a lower-maintenance option within the same community.

​

The single-family area’s HOA is managed by Hammersmith Management, while the townhome section is managed by Haley Realty. Residents appreciate the well-kept common areas and coordinated community upkeep.

​

Location & Commute

Cross Creek is conveniently located near the Powers Corridor and Interstate 25, giving residents quick access to shopping, dining, and the rest of Colorado Springs. Fort Carson’s Gate 20 is just minutes away, making this one of the most popular neighborhoods for military members stationed at the base. The commute to downtown Colorado Springs or south to Pueblo is straightforward, and the neighborhood’s proximity to major highways keeps travel times manageable in all directions.

​

Outdoor Recreation

What makes Cross Creek truly stand out is its setting right beside Fountain Creek Regional Park. The park offers nearly 500 acres of trails, including paths for hiking, horseback riding, and leashed pet walking. You’ll find springs, ponds, and a nature center that provides educational programs about local wildlife and the area’s natural history. Bird watchers and outdoor enthusiasts will feel right at home. Cross Creek Park — the neighborhood’s own community park — adds additional green space, playgrounds, and gathering areas.

​

The combination of a regional park next door and well-planned community spaces means outdoor access is built into daily life here, not something you have to drive 20 minutes to find.

​

Schools

Cross Creek is served by Fountain School District 8, with Eagleside Elementary School, Fountain Middle School, and Fountain-Fort Carson High School as the primary schools in the area. Some streets fall within Widefield School District 3. As with all Colorado Springs neighborhoods, residents can also apply through the state’s Choice In program to attend schools outside their zoned district.

​

Community Feel

Cross Creek has a reputation for being one of the quieter, more close-knit communities in the Fountain area. Smart community planning and local noise ordinances help keep evenings peaceful, and the neighborhood regularly hosts community events. It’s the kind of place where sidewalks stay active and neighbors greet each other in passing.

​

Who It's Best For

Cross Creek is a great option for military members stationed at Fort Carson who want a short commute to Gate 20, buyers looking for newer homes with modern layouts and access to well-rated schools, outdoor enthusiasts who want a regional park right next door, and those seeking solid value — newer construction with more space than comparable price points closer to downtown.
