Catch up with our October 19 update, our October 15 update, and our October 12 edition.

Mark the Calendar: Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 Are the Big Days

The next eleven days carry the most consequential stretch of Monument's civic calendar in years. On Monday, Nov. 2, the Town Council is set to vote on adoption of the Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan and its companion Downtown Master Plan, moved back four weeks from the original Oct. 5 date after the Planning Commission continued its public hearing to Oct. 14. Updated drafts, the Downtown Master Plan dated Oct. 8 and the Comprehensive Plan dated Oct. 9, are out for community review, per The Monument Independent. The same day, the town holds Public Open House #1 for its new Transportation Master Plan, developed jointly with the TriView Metro District, per the Planning Department's Oct. 16 notice. The plan will set the framework for roads, trails, and mobility around Monument for the next two decades, so it is worth a stop if you can make it.

Then on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Monument's municipal election closes, coordinated with El Paso County. The full candidate lineup and the construction-materials use-tax measure are covered in our October 19 update; ballots are already in voters' hands. The town's elections page has drop-off and polling details.

Town Council Recap: A Clean Water Report and a Sewer Line from 1966

Monument's Oct. 5 council meeting, reported by The Gazette's Tri-Lakes Tribune and The Monument Independent, produced several items residents should know. The council reviewed the town's 2026 Drinking Water Quality Report, which shows no violations, and approved transfer of three Conexus development tracts while accepting Conexus drainage land. It also authorized two agreements with Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District No. 1, including temporary access across Tract E so the district can repair a sewer line tied to an unrecorded 1966 easement, a quiet piece of infrastructure upkeep that matters for the homes it serves.

Two other threads from that meeting: the Jackson Creek Parkway construction bid moved to December, and the council issued a letter supporting the county's administrative determination on the proposed Buc-ee's while stepping up enforcement of construction hours. Both continue to move through the town's public process, and council agendas live on the CivicClerk portal.

Lewis-Palmer D38: Statewide Ballot Briefing and New Outdoor Classrooms

The D38 Board of Education was briefed Tuesday, Oct. 20 on the statewide education measures on the November ballot, including Amendment 87 and Proposition NN, per The Denver Gazette and Tri-Lakes Tribune. In the same week, the superintendent's "fall flavor" leadership update honored building leaders for National Principals Month and reminded families how weather-related closures and delays are decided, per the district update, a timely reminder as the season turns toward snow days.

And earlier this month, Lewis-Palmer Elementary celebrated three new outdoor classrooms. What started as a Cub Scouts Pack 117 project grew to include Scouts from Troops 6, 17, and 194, with a ribbon cutting held Sept. 28. The district's new Home School Enrichment Academy (HSEA) building is also serving homeschool K-12 families this 2026-27 school year after opening on schedule this month.

Halloween's Final Days, Then the Holiday Season

There is still time for family fun before Oct. 31. Fall Mountain Farm's Autumn Adventure hosts a trunk-or-treat Friday, Oct. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at 16300 Mount Herman Lane, and St. Peter Catholic School holds its Trunk or Treat the same evening, 5 to 7 p.m., per The Monument Independent's Tri-Lakes Halloween Guide. Saturday, Oct. 24 brings the Monument Cemetery Walk, a history-focused walking event hosted by the town. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, the Tri-Lakes Chamber presents the Community & Business Expo at the Tri-Lakes YMCA from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And Safe Trick or Treat closes the month Saturday, Oct. 31 from 4 to 6 p.m. along 2nd Street, Limbach Park, and the downtown shops, per The Gazette.

Once the candy settles, Monument turns straight to the holidays. Downtown businesses kick off the season with the Holiday Open House on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6-7, the first Friday and Saturday of November. Encore Community Arts presents Disney's "101 Dalmatians Kids" Saturday, Nov. 7 at 1 and 4 p.m., and the Tri-Lakes Chamber's Business After Hours Annual Non-Profit Showcase runs 5 to 7 p.m. that evening. Then mark Saturday, Dec. 5 for the Monument Tree Lighting at Limbach Park, where the town's calendar shows the event beginning at 2 p.m. with Santa, music, and holiday activities.

Around Woodmoor: WIA Board Meets Oct. 28, Ski Season Ahead

The Woodmoor Improvement Association board holds its October meeting Wednesday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Woodmoor Barn Community Center, 1691 Woodmoor Dr., per Our Community News. At its Sept. 23 meeting, reported by OCN, the board declined an offer of open space tied to the Northbay development at the north end of Lake Woodmoor on Deer Creek Road, a project that came down from 41 townhomes to 24 and is now approved for six single-family homes. The board also unanimously approved an updated Project Design Standards Manual and heard the latest on Force Broadband's fiber-optic build-out through the community's open spaces.

Out at The Country Club at Woodmoor, winter is already on the calendar. The Woodmoor Nordic nonprofit is promoting cross-country ski trails on club grounds this season, with day passes sold at the club's Fitness/Tennis Center, per the organization's late-October update. For Woodmoor residents it is another reason the optional club membership keeps paying off through the shoulder seasons.

Late-October Color on the Trails

The aspens are still holding in the hollows, and late October is prime trail weather. The Santa Fe Trailhead at 3rd Street offers parking and picnic tables with direct access to the Santa Fe Trail, and the Monument Preserve on Schilling Avenue threads trails through ponderosa pine forest. The roughly 17.9-mile New Santa Fe Regional Trail runs from Greenland Open Space near Larkspur to the Edmondson Trailhead in Colorado Springs, and Fox Run Regional Park's trails around Aspen Lake are a short drive away.

Close to home, Goat Patch Brewing Monument at 1756 Lake Woodmoor Drive remains the neighborhood gathering spot, joined by Wesley Owens Coffee at 1744 Lake Woodmoor Drive, Coffee Cup Cafe at 251 Front Street, and Arlene's Beans at 366 2nd Street downtown. For dinner, La Casa Fiesta at 230 Front Street, The Bistro on 2nd at 65 2nd Street, Rosie's Diner at 411 CO-105, and Papa Bear Pizza at 243 Washington Street round out the local lineup.

Monument Market Snapshot: Late October 2026

Monument's market continues to offer far more choice than a year ago, with measurements varying by source. Kenna Real Estate, reporting Oct. 10, puts Monument's median list price at about $750,000 across 284 active MLS listings, with single-family homes at a $795,000 median. In ZIP 80132, the median sold price was about $779,100 in September, down 1.6% from a year earlier, while the for-sale count has roughly doubled versus September 2025, per RealtyTrac. Zillow puts the 80132 average home value around $753,563, down about 1.2% year over year, with homes going under contract in about 22 days.

Woodmoor proper carries its own numbers. MilitaryHomeSearch, as of Oct. 18, counts 93 active residences in and near Woodmoor at an average list price near $698,420, about $237 per square foot. Great Colorado Homes lists 74 Woodmoor homes with a median list price near $861,695. The through-line across every source: more inventory, prices roughly flat to down, and longer days on market than the peak of 2022-2023, a market that rewards patient buyers. For context, 830 Lake Woodmoor is listed at $975,000 after a price improvement from $997,000, an example of the value available at Woodmoor's upper end.
