Homes for Sale in The Glen At Widefield

About The Glen at Widefield

Homes for sale in The Glen at Widefield trace back to one of the oldest homebuilding families in Colorado Springs. The Watson family began building in the area in 1957 under the name Widefield Homes. Today, the community has grown into more than 1,000 homes spread across multiple filings since the early 2000s. New sections continue to open off Spring Glen Drive on the southeast side of Colorado Springs.

The Glen falls between Powers Boulevard and Marksheffel Road. Home styles include two-story plans with three-car garages, ranch-style homes with finished walk-out basements, and modern open layouts. Lot sizes vary by filing, with some sections offering larger backyards than the newer sections. Front-yard landscaping is standard with most builders, though older sections feature more mature trees.

Streets follow a curving pattern with cul-de-sacs tucked between the main collector roads. Sidewalks line both sides of most streets, and small pocket parks break up the residential blocks. Some of the eastern sections look out toward open countryside, offering unobstructed mountain views west toward Pikes Peak.

The Glen at Widefield uses a multi-filing HOA structure. Filings 1 through 3 share one HOA, while later filings, like Filing 5, operate under separate associations. Each HOA handles common area upkeep and architectural standards within its filing. Buyers should know which filing covers a specific home, since dues and rules can differ.

Compared with Lorson Ranch farther east, The Glen at Widefield is smaller, less metro district-heavy, and has more established sections. Compared with Falcon to the north, this area carries a lower price point with similar access to Powers Boulevard.

Why Buyers Choose The Glen at Widefield

Most online write-ups skip the heritage angle here. The Glen at Widefield carries on a building tradition started in 1957 by Jules Watson. He built the original all-brick homes south of Colorado Springs. Today, builders like Reunion Homes, Windsor Ridge Homes, and View Homes are continuing active phases within the community.

The Glen is roughly 5 minutes from I-25 via Mesa Ridge Parkway. That access cuts commute times to Fort Carson and the southside employers without crossing town. Buyers who want to compare other homes for sale in Colorado Springs can use our citywide search to see up-to-date listings.
