This area extends outside the city to the southeast along both sides of I-25, and out as far as Eldorado and the US 285 junction. Most of the subdivision lies in the foothills at the southern end of the Sangre de Cristos. The setting is rural and quiet. Of course driving to the more secluded sites on winding hilly side roads will take longer. Lot sizes may vary but may average five acres.
Home prices vary considerably depending on views, terrain, and the quality of the neighborhood.
The Eldorado subdivision now includes about 2,200 homes. It includes a small and pleasant shopping and office complex, a community recreation center, stables and good covenants, which feature a one acre minimum lot. The result is a homogeneous community that attracts active retirees, young families and everyone in-between. The homes include all modern conveniences and a variety of pleasing styles. A number of builders are active here and values have increased steadily for existing properties.
