BRIARGATE HISTORY
In the 1960s Briargate was still considered rural. In fact, only a few homes were being built on large lots here and there. Briargate in the 1960s was like what is currently happening in Falcon and Peyton. The early Briargate lots had a well for water supply and a septic system for wastewater because they were not yet part of the city. It was not until 1982 that Briargate was officially annexed into Colorado Springs, CO. Today it is hard to imagine that this area was outside the city limits. Building began slowly at the end of the 1970s and then gained momentum through the 1980s. A construction boom has continued ever since and has stretched Briargate further north and east. This also indicates that the likelihood of purchasing or living in a split-level home (bi-level, tri-level) is high.
Briargate at one point was the northern limit of Colorado Springs, but it is now located very centrally with the northern expansion of Colorado Springs into areas like Black Forest. Briargate is about 15-20 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. This part of town stretches from Briargate Blvd in the south, to I-25 in the west (where Northwest Colorado Springs starts) and touches Old Ranch Road to the north. The eastern border seems to be open for interpretation. Most people agree that Briargate stretches across Highway 83 (extension of Powers) into Wolf Ranch and Cordera.
THE BRIARGATE AREA
It is a short 45 miles to Centennial/Denver area from Briargate. If the roads are open, it should not take you more than 40 minutes to get to the south side of Denver. Please keep in mind that I-25 (the main road up to Denver) has many construction zones that slow down traffic considerably. Driving north to catch a Broncos game at the-Mile-High Stadium, attend a concert of a national pop star at the Pepsi Center, or the world-famous Red Rock Amphitheater could take you as few as 70 minutes. Convenient, right?
Should you feel adventurous, you can hike the Incline in Manitou Springs, about 30 minutes away. You can get to the entrance of the Pikes Peak highway in about 30 minutes. Hiking areas included nearby Monument Valley Park, Dome Rock Trail (about an hour away), or you can visit Gardens of the Gods Park (20 minutes away). Depending on where you live in Briargate, you can probably watch the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony with binoculars from your front porch. Most of the trails on the USAFA campus are likely only about 6 miles away.
