The “Heights” portion of the “University Heights” name gives a clue to part of the appeal of this neighborhood. It has extraordinary views of Pikes Peak, Pulpit Rock, the Front Range and the city lights at night.   It also is a very strategic location. Within a six mile radius, lies downtown to the south, and the Air Force Academy to the north. Also within that 6 mile radius of University Heights are all four of Colorado Springs major hospitals. Memorial downtown and Penrose St. Francis on the north end of downtown have been serving the city for years. The “new” St. Francis hospital and medical center and the “new” Memorial hospital north campus are both just off Powers Blvd. in the northeast part of the city.   University Heights is just minutes from the University of Colorado at Colo... 09/21/2011
