Life is happening at Banning Lewis Ranch, and life continues to grow! Already recognized as the fastest-selling community in Colorado Springs for seven years and ranked in the Top 50 master planned communities in the nation, Banning Lewis Ranch will add another 1,600 homes that will start becoming available for sale by spring 2022. Banning Lewis Ranch will eventually span nearly from Woodmen Road south to Stetson Hills Boulevard and from Marksheffel Road east to Highway 24. But more than just homes and roads, Banning Lewis Ranch will continue to expand its signature sense of community.
“The most amazing thing about Banning Lewis Ranch is that it’s really all-inclusive. There is something there for every single stage of life,” says Aubrey McCoy, marketing liaison with Banning Lewis Ranch. “It’s not only building a home, it’s building that life you want around your home.”
Since 1991, Oakwood Homes has designed and created beautiful, functional living spaces designed to foster connection and well-being. Nowhere is that more evident than Banning Lewis Ranch’s community amenities, such as The Ranch House community center, junior Olympic-sized pool, playgrounds, and 75+ acres of parks, trails, and open space. These outdoor areas bring neighbors together for summer concerts, farmers markets and more. It’s a common sight at Banning Lewis Ranch to see kids riding bikes, families enjoying an evening walk, neighbors grilling together, and dogs frolicking in the dog parks.
Distinctive architectural styles and a wide range of price points draw a variety of homebuyers to Banning Lewis Ranch, including first-time buyers, military residents, young families, established professionals, and those enjoying retirement. Recent additions to Banning Lewis Ranch include the American Dream and Sterling Duets communities. The American Dream collection offers charming and cozy homes with affordability in mind.

The Oakwood Homes Sterling Duets collection blends affordability and comfort, with cozy rooms throughout and living space perfect for entertaining. All homes are crafted with integrity, industry-leading energy efficiency, and smart, flexible layouts to create the space that fits your lifestyle.
The Retreat, an OakwoodLife community within Banning Lewis Ranch, opened in 2020 and is rapidly growing as Colorado Springs’ first maintenance-free, resort-style community for active adults aged 55 and better. Many members of The Retreat enjoy living close to children and grandchildren in nearby Banning Lewis Ranch communities, but Retreat residents also enjoy their own private amenities and activities planned by an exclusive lifestyle director. The Barn, a 10,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art community center is expected to open in late 2021. It will feature an outdoor beach-entry pool, an outdoor spa, fitness studio, gaming room, entertaining kitchen, pickleball courts, bocce ball, an event lawn and more.
As Banning Lewis Ranch continues to expand, plans include a new amenity, similar to The Barn and The Ranch House, with a pool, park, gym, community gathering space, and more. There will be another school, adding to the tremendous, award-winning Falcon District 49 educational options available to residents: Banning Lewis Ranch Academy (K-5), Banning Lewis Preparatory Academy (6-12), and Inspiration View Elementary School (K-5). Additional commercial development will bring conveniences such as a grocery store, dining/entertainment options and shops.
The new expansion will help Oakwood Homes continue to meet the tremendous demand for homes in the Colorado Springs area. Oakwood Homes builders are working at full capacity to keep pace with purchases in the popular Banning Lewis Ranch.
Despite the market challenges remaining from the COVID-19 pandemic, Oakwood Homes continues to prioritize its commitment to building communities with depth and character. You can see it in the unique style and diversity of homes, the intentional curving of streets, trails, and sidewalks, and the focus on neighborhood gatherings and events that foster a sense of community. As it continues to grow, Banning Lewis Ranch will always remain a place where neighbors belong and grow deep roots.
