Colorado Springs Senior AdvisorNorth-east of the city, Black Forest's ponderosa woods give way to the fast-growing subdivisions of Falcon, Meridian Ranch and Peyton on the plains, almost all of it unincorporated El Paso County without a single population estimate.
Large lots, long driveways and winter roads make aging in place harder here than in the city, and licensed care is scarce: a couple of small residences in Black Forest and nothing in Falcon or Peyton, so most families look toward Briargate and Stetson Hills.
