Welcome to OakwoodLife – New Homes for Sale in The Retreat 55+ Community in Colorado Springs CO

What is the best 55+ Active Adult Community in Colorado Springs? It’s The Retreat by OakwoodLife! With breathtaking views of Pike’s Peak, The Retreat is located in the award-winning Banning Lewis Ranch, the fastest-selling community in Colorado Springs, and ranked in the Top 50 master-planned communities in the nation.

A sun lover’s paradise averaging more than 240 sunny days per year, life in The Retreat is meant to be lived outdoors. Explore the countless area attractions including the Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Cave of the Winds, the U.S. Olympic Training Center, and more.  Colorado Springs regularly appears on Top 10 Lists for Healthiest Cities, Best Air Quality, Best Places to Retire, and in 2018 U.S. News & World Report named it The Most Desirable Place to Live in the United States.  Imagine being surrounded by over 75 acres of open space, trails, and parks created to bring neighbors together for summer concerts, farmers’ markets, festivals, and events.

Within this scenic new 55 and up neighborhood lies a vibrant and social gated-street community¹ that connects to all of Banning Lewis Ranch by miles of trails. Stroll down to the pickleball courts, follow the path to the dog park, or meet friends on the trail and walk together to one of our exciting summer music concerts.  At the new clubhouse The Barn, you will enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, movement studio, game room with a high-tech golf simulator, therapeutic spa, beach-entry pool with a sun deck and lap lane, event center, demonstration kitchen and so much more.  Spend some time with us and you will soon discover this 55-plus community has a one-of-a-kind neighborhood culture based on connecting and contributing. That’s why at The Retreat, homeowners say they have more than just new neighbors, they have a new family. What are you waiting for?  Grab your walking shoes and come join us!

Ashley ManiscalcoAshley Maniscalco

Grateful for her simple childhood growing up in a small town in Colorado, Ashley’s happiest memories were riding 4-wheelers, going to the mountains with her Papa, working summers on a ranch cleaning cabins and riding horses, and playing hide-n-seek in her Grandparents’ massive scrap yard. She attended LSU, began her hospitality career in Baton Rouge, and spent a great deal of time in New Orleans. A graduate from Metro in Denver, she worked with the Denver Nuggets and planned events at venues such as the Pepsi Center and the Colorado Convention Center. But after meeting her partner, they committed to the city they loved, Colorado Springs.

Having worked in the hospitality community in the Springs for nearly a decade, Ashley is eager to help members discover this beautiful city. Want to eat somewhere special? Ashley is an avid foodie and can recommend many area restaurants. While this Director loves to travel, she has many hobbies to keep her close to home. She loves hiking, her dogs Mia and Milo, her Peloton, weekend sleepovers with her nieces and nephews, photography, social media, and making natural bath and beauty products. Interested in making soy candles? Let Ashley show you how!
