About Us
| FACTS & LOCATION Highland Park is a covenant protected community of approximately 158 lots, located two miles north of Woodmen Road between Black Forest and Vollmer Roads (entrances are on each road). The homesites range from 2½ - 4½ acres in size, making them the last of the large acreage estate-sized home sites this close to the City of Colorado Springs. Most lots have stunning views of the Front Range mountains, while being only minutes from town. Some lots border the Cottonwood Creek greenbelt with its lake (which will eventually become common area for the owners association). Lots are served by underground electric, gas and phone and utilize individual wells and septic systems. A non-motorized trail system has been constructed, linking filings 1 and 2, and will be continued into filing 3 (expected to open in 2007). Carefully crafted protective covenants, policies and a homeowner association (HPA) exist to protect values. |
HISTORY
Highland Park was assembled and developed by Little London, LLC. Two parcels of land were combined to
create the community. The area that is now Filing One was bought from Saudi interests, who acquired the
land as part of the Banning Lewis Ranch from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) after Frank Aries went
bankrupt in the 1980s. The Ranch was the single largest asset handled by the RTC.
The land East of Cottonwood Creek was previously owned by Mark Wild, and was used for years as the Black
Forest Gliderport. Later Wild sold the land to Frank Aries, but Wild got it back after Aries' bankruptcy, and
sold it to a principal in Little London. Portions of the old runway can still be seen running N-S in Filings 2 and
3. Also, here and there on the property one may find an old concrete slab or tie downs where a hanger or
plane parking spot was located. The buildings that are presently in Filing 3 housed the flight operation center,
and served as a clubhouse and sleeping accommodations for any pilots who stayed overnight. When filing 3
is developed, these structures will be removed.
