Monument

Welcome to Monument

A unique and quaint suburb just outside of Colorado Springs.
 
Monument is known for its fantastic location in El Paso County halfway between the metropolitan areas of Colorado Springs and Castle Rock, which makes it an idyllic sleeper community. This early frontier railroad town is most notable for its resplendent landscapes, as it is surrounded by mountains like Pikes Peak and True Mountain, the Black Forest, and large inland lakes. The highly-rated District 38 school system serves Monument and its surrounding areas, providing quality educational opportunities for students and attracting families to the area.

Monument single-family homes boast a wide variety of architectural styles, including four square designs, and both Craftsman and Mid-century Modern features. In addition to the occasional Art Nouveau and Italianate residences, there are several chalets offering incredible mountain views and the area’s rich history means varying homes have rustic, Victorian styles dating from the late 1800s.
