Inside Woodbridge: a golf-course community at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain

Woodbridge is one of the quieter corners of southwest Colorado Springs, and that is exactly the point. It is a small, privately governed community of roughly 64 townhomes set at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, about three miles south of downtown in the 80906 ZIP code. Many units, including 24 Woodbridge Dr, back directly onto the Country Club of Colorado golf course with wide front-range views.

Built in the early 1980s on about ten acres off Broadmoor Valley Road, the community was completed in phases. Its design is intentionally open. There is no perimeter fencing, so mature trees and shared, landscaped grounds flow freely between the homes, giving the neighborhood a park-like feel that you notice the moment you arrive.

Why home buyers keep coming to it

Location does the heavy lifting. Woodbridge sits at the southern edge of one of the region's most desired school districts, Cheyenne Mountain District 12, and within minutes of the Broadmoor resort. Out the back door is a championship golf course, while the Cheyenne Mountain State Park and North Cheyenne Ca\u00f1on Park trail systems open up just a short drive to the south.

It is also a practical address. The community is a short hop from Fort Carson and the Colorado Springs Airport, and it is close to the shopping, dining, and public transit of the city's southwest side. For commuters working downtown, the ride is only a few minutes on the Broadmoor Valley corridor.

The townhome life

The homes here are two-story townhomes, and 24 Woodbridge Dr shows off the type at its best: vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, a finished basement, and a composite deck that hangs right over the fairway. It is the rare property that pairs mountain golf living with a practical, low-maintenance footprint.

If you are weighing where to land in southwest Colorado Springs, spend an afternoon in Woodbridge. Walk the common grounds, watch the golfers through the trees, and picture the sun hitting Cheyenne Mountain from the deck. It tends to make the decision easy.
