From the beginning, the vision for Monument Ridge East has been to create a neighborhood that respects and reflects the values of the surrounding community. By rezoning the property from mixed-use to residential, the builders chose to reduce potential commercial traffic and focus instead on homes that blend naturally with the existing area. In addition, all county standards require road and intersection upgrades, ensuring safer, more efficient infrastructure that benefits both new residents and long-time neighbors alike.

Much of the land east of I-25 and north of County Line Road is permanently protected by conservation easements or managed as Douglas County parkland. This guarantees nearby open spaces remain preserved, giving residents lasting access to natural beauty and recreational opportunities right outside their door. In addition, Monument Ridge East has introduced an “Adopt a Tree” program, a sustainable initiative that allows surrounding residents to relocate trees from the development site to their own property. The only cost to participants is transportation, making it an accessible way to preserve the natural landscape while enhancing their own yards.

District 38 is well-prepared to welcome new students and currently enrolls hundreds from outside the district. Families moving into Monument Ridge East will be prioritized, ensuring local students have access to excellent schools. The addition of new families helps strengthen school communities, enrich programs, and support long-term stability.

Residents will benefit from established services already in place. Monument Police Department, in partnership with the El Paso County Sheriff, provides law enforcement coverage, and the Monument Fire Protection District has long planned for this area. With a fire station less than a mile away, the community is well-positioned for quick response times and reliable safety resources.

All major utility providers have confirmed capacity to serve Monument Ridge East. Woodmoor Water & Sanitation District has committed to providing water and sewer, while Black Hills Energy and Mountain View Electric are already active in the area. These providers issued written commitments prior to plan approval, ensuring reliable, long-term service for future residents.
