Rockrimmon · Northwest Colorado Springs · 80919
Golden Hills, where the trail starts
Larger homes on generous lots and quiet cul-de-sacs, with Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods framed in the front windows. The five-acre Golden Hills Park sits across from the Rockrimmon Trailhead, which makes this the easiest of the three neighborhoods to walk out of and straight onto a trail.
Market Report
What homes are actually selling for
Golden Hills falls inside the 80919 ZIP code, so these published figures are the best public read on the local market. Because homes here run larger than the Rockrimmon average, sale prices in this pocket often land above the ZIP-code median shown below.

What this means if you're buying. More inventory and slower sales across the region mean buyers have leverage they didn't have two years ago, particularly on homes that have been sitting. Golden Hills tends to attract move-up buyers, and the larger homes here are exactly the segment where patience pays — there's often room to negotiate on a listing that's been on the market past the 49-day area average.

Eat, Drink & Shop
The places neighbors actually go
The Centennial Boulevard corridor sits just south of the neighborhood, which puts a bakery, a taqueria, a bistro, and all three of the area's grocery stores within a few minutes' drive.
Sandwiches · West Rockrimmon
The neighborhood standby for sandwiches and fresh-made meals — close enough that plenty of people bike to it.
French bistro · 4605 Centennial Blvd
A long-running Colorado Springs favorite and the default around here for a nicer dinner or a bakery case run.
Tacos · 4657 Centennial Blvd
Family-owned westside taqueria known for its al pastor and margaritas, with a second location up in Northgate.
Pub fare · 806 Village Center Dr
Burgers, pizza, and fish and chips right in the Village Center — the closest thing to a neighborhood pub.
Thai · Rockrimmon location
One of two locations in town, regularly named among the city's best for Thai.
Italian · Rockrimmon
Neighborhood Italian from the team behind Ambli, tucked into one of the local centers.
Brewery · Garden of the Gods Rd
A local brewing fixture just south of the neighborhood.
Trader Joe's · Sprouts · Whole Foods
All three sit just outside the neighborhood, which is unusual for this side of town.
Chapel Hills · The Promenade Shops
Chapel Hills Mall is a few miles east; the Promenade Shops at Briargate sit just across I‑25.
Trails & Things To Do
The trailhead is across the street
Golden Hills has the most direct outdoor access of the three neighborhoods — the park and trailhead face each other at the edge of the subdivision, and the trail network runs from there.
Golden Hills Park
5 acres · playground
Across from the Rockrimmon Trailhead, with a swing set, soft-surface playground, and big grassy areas for dogs.
Rockrimmon Trailhead
At the neighborhood edge
The main access point into the Rockrimmon trail network, directly across from Golden Hills Park.
Rockrimmon Trail
About 2 miles
Red rock and gravel running through the middle of the community, with clear mountain views the whole way.
Ute Valley Park
Hiking & mountain biking
The area's marquee park — rock outcroppings, singletrack, and wide views, with multiple access points from the Rockrimmon side.
Blodgett Peak Open Space
Hiking · foothills
A steeper climb into the foothills just northwest, and one of the better sunrise hikes in the city.
Rockrimmon Open Space
Dozens of acres
The wildlife corridor at the center of the community, where deer and bighorn sheep regularly gather.
Garden of the Gods
A short drive south
The park most people move here for, close enough to be a weekday evening walk rather than a weekend outing.

14 miles
Runs along the eastern edge past prairie and pines, connecting north to the Air Force Academy about 11 miles up.
