Short-Term Rentals in Woodland Park: What You Need to Know

If you're considering an investment property or Airbnb in Woodland Park, the regulatory landscape has changed dramatically. Here's the full picture.

What Happened?

In December 2023, Woodland Park voters overwhelmingly passed a citizens' initiative (1,347 to 947) that restricts short-term rentals to owner-occupied properties only in residential zones. Non-owner-occupied STRs are only permitted in commercially zoned areas. The ordinance was set to take effect December 31, 2024.

The Lawsuit

Property owners — including out-of-state investors and local STR operators — filed suit against the city, arguing the ordinance violates constitutional property rights. A key issue: the new rules do not grandfather in existing licensed STR properties, which is unusual. As of early 2025, the city delayed enforcement while legal challenges continue.

Impact on Property Owners

Over 150 short-term rental properties could be affected. Some owners report potential annual revenue losses of $45,000–$65,000. Many former STR hosts are pivoting to medium-term rentals (30+ day stays) as an alternative strategy.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

If you're buying property in Woodland Park as an STR investment, proceed with caution and understand the current regulations. If you're selling an existing STR property, we can help you navigate the changing landscape and find the right buyer. Contact us for the latest updates on this evolving situation.

Everything you need to know about buying, selling, and living in the mountains.

The median home price in Woodland Park is approximately $565,000–$650,000 depending on the season and property type. Prices range from around $200,000 for smaller cabins to over $1 million for custom mountain estates on acreage. The market has seen steady appreciation as more remote workers and retirees discover mountain living.

How far is Woodland Park from Colorado Springs?

Woodland Park is approximately 18 miles (25–30 minutes) west of Colorado Springs via US Highway 24 through Ute Pass. Many residents commute to Colorado Springs for work, shopping, and healthcare while enjoying the peace of mountain living. The drive is scenic but can be slower during winter storms or summer tourist season.

Woodland Park is known as the "City Above the Clouds" at 8,465 feet elevation. It offers stunning Pikes Peak views, 300+ sunny days per year, excellent schools (RE-2 district), low crime, a vibrant downtown, and world-class outdoor recreation. It's especially popular with families, remote workers, military retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts.

What should I know about buying a mountain home?

Mountain properties in Teller County often have well water and septic systems instead of city utilities. Key considerations include wildfire mitigation and defensible space, snow removal access, altitude adjustment (8,000+ feet), year-round road access, and utility infrastructure. A local mountain property expert is essential to navigate these unique factors.

What are the best neighborhoods in Woodland Park?

Popular subdivisions include Paradise Estates (easy highway access, diverse home styles), Westwood Lakes (small lakeside community), Sunnywood Manor (larger homes, north end), and The Reserve at Tamarac (newer construction). Each neighborhood offers different lot sizes, views, and proximity to downtown or outdoor recreation.

Can I have an Airbnb in Woodland Park?

Short-term rental regulations changed significantly in 2023-2024. Voters passed restrictions limiting STRs to owner-occupied properties in residential zones. Non-owner-occupied vacation rentals are only allowed in commercial zones. Legal challenges are ongoing, so consult us for the latest updates before purchasing an investment property.
