Falcon Map of Falcon
Since 1888 Falcon has been home to those wanting to escape the
city life. Farmers and ranchers owned hundreds of acres, living off the land, and some are still call Falcon home. The diverse topography, stretching as far as the eye can see, is made up of rolling grasslands dotted with densely treed areas, “watering holes” and prolific wildlife. Falcon has now captured the hearts of those wanting to live on the open range, but with modern amenities. With a 140% growth rate the Falcon area is expanding at an impressive rate even by Colorado standards. Schools, housing and commercial activities are keeping pace and there is active consideration to take the necessary steps to incorporate Falcon as a city and growing suburb of Colorado Springs. Like the open spaces from which it came, Falcon is a place of never ending possibilities.
