Forest View Estates
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
Palmer Lake's most exclusive residential area, 54 lots with 50 custom homes on a minimum 2.5 acres each, averaging 5,000 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Located on the west side of I-25 between Monument and Palmer Lake, the neighborhood threads hiking and biking trails directly into Pike National Forest and the Monument Preserve. FVEPOA governance since the early 1990s protects property values and the heavily wooded character.
