Named for its proximity to the north gate of the Air Force Academy, Northgate is a collection of newer neighborhoods as well as older ranches and horse properties and the established Gleneagle area.
Northgate is home to New Life Church, Compassion International and the Rampart campus of Pikes Peak Community College. It offers its residents easy access to the great outdoors with 60 acres of park lands and nature trails.
Residents enjoy beautiful views in almost all directions: Pikes Peak and the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains to the west and south, the Tri-Lakes area and Black Forest to the north and northeast.
Excellent educational opportunities are available in the Northgate community, from preschool to Pikes Peak Community College. Younger students can attend the many charter and public schools in the area, including The Classical Academy, which draws students from across the region.
Flying Horse is a resort-style 1,400-acre neighborhood with European influences located off North Gate Boulevard and Colorado 83. There are breathtaking views, an indoor horse-riding arena, and a private 18-hole golf course. Special events including weddings are hosted here. The golf clubhouse has fine dining options including the acclaimed Steakhouse at Flying Horse.
Academy School District 20 serves both Northgate and Flying Horse communities.
