Designed Around Community & Colorado Living
Cordera is a master-planned community in the heart of Briargate in northeast Colorado Springs. Developed by La Plata Communities, Cordera combines distinctive residential neighborhoods with more than 50 acres of parks and open space, miles of trails, and thoughtfully planned connections between homes, schools, parks, and community amenities.
One of Cordera’s defining features is its extensive amenity network. The community includes several imaginative storybook-themed parks, including the 16-acre Wild Rumpus Park, along with the Tom Kelly Grand Lawn and an approximately 8,200-square-foot Community Center with outdoor pools, fitness facilities, gathering spaces, and resident programming. Pedestrian underpasses at Briargate Parkway and Union Boulevard also help connect different parts of the community without requiring pedestrians to cross those major roads at street level.
Cordera also offers a convenient northeast Colorado Springs location within Academy School District 20. Residents have access to schools within the community, nearby shopping and dining throughout Briargate and the Powers Corridor, and I-25 less than 10 minutes away via Briargate Parkway. Combined with a range of established and newer homes, Cordera offers buyers a distinctly planned residential setting with amenities integrated into everyday neighborhood life.

Why We Recommend Cordera
What stands out to us about Cordera is how intentionally the community has been planned. When we show buyers homes here, we encourage them to look beyond the individual property and consider the setting around it. The parks, trails, open spaces, schools, and Community Center are woven throughout the neighborhoods, so where a home sits within Cordera can be just as important as the floor plan itself.
With homes built across different phases of the community, buyers also have more variety than they may expect. Some may prefer an established street with mature landscaping, while others are drawn to newer construction, open-space locations, or mountain views. With our team’s 28+ years in Colorado Springs real estate and fourth-generation local roots, we can help you compare those differences and find the part of Cordera that best fits what you want from your home and everyday surroundings.
