Kissing Camels is an exclusive, upscale residential community located on the northwest side of Colorado Springs, nestled against the foothills of Pikes Peak and bordering the Garden of the Gods area. It’s best known for its luxury homes, dramatic natural scenery, and privacy, offering a quiet, resort-like atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city.
The neighborhood is built into rolling hills and rock formations, so many homes enjoy sweeping views of the mountains, city lights, and iconic red rock formations. It feels peaceful and secluded, yet it’s still close to shopping, dining, and major roads.
High-end, custom homes with unique architecture — including ranch-style estates, contemporary designs, and elegant traditional homes.
Properties often sit on larger lots and are positioned to maximize privacy and views.
Gated and semi-gated sections throughout the community add to the secure, private feel.
The neighborhood attracts professionals, executives, retirees, and luxury buyers looking for a refined lifestyle.
Surrounded by towering red rock formations, foothills, and mountain terrain — the views here are some of the most impressive in Colorado Springs.
Frequent sightings of wildlife like deer, foxes, and birds add to the natural, tranquil atmosphere.
Sunsets and nighttime city views are a standout feature for many homes.
A major highlight of the community is the Kissing Camels Country Club, a private club offering:
An 18-hole golf course with stunning mountain and rock views
Tennis courts and pickleball
Swimming pool
Fine dining and social events
