Security-Widefield is a census-designated place in southern El Paso County, located between Pueblo and Colorado Springs along I-25. The community grew rapidly alongside Fort Carson Army Post, which was established in 1942. Today it is home to over 38,000 residents, making it one of the largest unincorporated communities in Colorado. (Wikipedia)
Families in Security-Widefield enjoy Fountain Creek Regional Park, the trails at Clear Spring Ranch Open Space, and easy access to both Colorado Springs attractions and Pueblo’s cultural offerings. The Widefield Community Center hosts youth programs and events throughout the year. Nearby Peterson Space Force Base and Fort Carson provide the economic backbone for the area.
Housing ranges from 1960s-era ranch homes in the original Widefield neighborhoods to newer construction in Security’s expanding subdivisions. Many homes were built during the 1970s-1990s military housing boom and still have their original HVAC systems, furnaces, and ductwork that are well past their expected service life.
