Powers' corridor as it is commonly called was created due to the growing population and expansion of Colorado Springs. These communities are due to the continuing growth of Colorado Springs to both the North and the East. Many of these homes are less than 10 years old and have new stores and shopping centers popping up all the time.
The growth and expansion brought in many of the best home builders with different architectural concepts for the different needs of home-buyers. These homes have been built by Pulte Homes, Classic Homes, John Laing, Richmond and U.S. Homes.
Pulte Homes attracted home buyers homebuyers with their famous 2, 5,10 and Lifetime Home Warranty Program. This delighted many homeowners and assured buyers their home was covered for any potential defects. The top quality of the homes construction proved the warranties. Warrenties just helped customers to sleep well at night, and was like having an additional level of assurance.

Springs Ranch and Stetson Hills also boast of Skysox stadium. The Cascades at Springs Ranch are affluent and highly covenant controlled areas."
