About Goldfield

Perched high in Teller County, Goldfield is a small mountain community that got its start during the 1890s Cripple Creek gold rush. Today, it is a quiet residential spot tucked right between Victor and Cripple Creek, filled with rustic cabins, historic homes, and wide-open views of the surrounding hills. It offers a relaxed atmosphere where the mining district's colorful history is still part of the everyday scenery.

Because Goldfield is mostly residential, neighbors look to Victor and Cripple Creek for groceries, post office runs, and local dining. Kids attend the nearby Cripple Creek-Victor schools, and paved county roads make the drive to Colorado Springs easy enough for weekend errands and city conveniences. It is an appealing choice for anyone who wants a peaceful mountain setting, crisp high-altitude air, and easy access to small-town living.
