The Broadmoor area grew up around The Broadmoor resort, which opened in 1918, and sits against the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain in southwest Colorado Springs. Homes range from older houses on mature, tree-lined streets to custom homes on larger foothill lots, along with condos and townhomes. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, North Cheyenne Cañon Park, and Highway 115 are all close by.
What renters look for here
Many Broadmoor-area renters are families who want Cheyenne Mountain School District 12, one of the most highly regarded districts in the state. Others are professionals relocating to Colorado Springs and military officers assigned to Fort Carson or Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, both a short drive down Highway 115. A lot of them want a well-kept home they can lease for a year or two while they decide where to buy.
What owners should know
- Higher-value homes call for careful documentation. Detailed move-in photos and video, routine inspections, and written condition reports protect you if there's ever a dispute. Under Colorado's new deposit law, that record matters more than ever.
- Foothill homes have wildfire considerations. The Colorado Springs Fire Department does ongoing fuel mitigation in the Cheyenne Mountain foothills, and homes near the hillside benefit from trimmed trees and cleared brush near the house. We note it during inspections and help you plan the work.
- HOA rules vary by street. Some enclaves, including parts of Broadmoor Bluffs, have their own HOAs and covenants, while many older streets have none. We check the rules for your address and make sure tenants know them.
- Quality work matters on custom homes. Large lots, irrigation systems, and custom finishes need vendors who do the job right. We compare bids for larger projects and don't mark up vendor invoices.
What it costs
The same published rates apply everywhere we work: 8% of rent collected, a leasing fee of 50% of one month's rent ($500 minimum) when we place a tenant, and $250 for a renewal. See the full fee breakdown.
