Banning Lewis Ranch, Ranch community in Colorado Springs, United States.
Banning Lewis Ranch is a residential community built on former grazing land south of Colorado Springs, spreading across several villages with mountain views. The development combines homes with communal spaces and recreational facilities across the property where cattle once grazed.
The land was originally a major cattle operation run by Raymond Lewis and Ruth Banning Lewis, which won a soil conservation award in 1948. The transformation from working ranch to residential community shaped the growth of south Colorado Springs.
The neighborhood includes two charter academies and one public school, providing education options for families within the residential development.
Visitors can explore walking paths and green spaces distributed throughout the community. Multiple activity centers, an Olympic-standard pool, and tennis courts offer recreation options for residents and guests.
The development includes over 65 acres of public open space, making it unusually expansive for a residential community. These preserved lands maintain a sense of openness that echoes the property's ranching past.
