Security-Widefield is a suburban community located just south of Colorado Springs, nestled between the city and Fountain, Colorado. This area benefits from its proximity to major thoroughfares such as I-25 and Highway 85, which provide easy access to Colorado Springs and nearby military installations like Fort Carson Army Base,  which is directly to the southwest, and Peterson Air Force Base to the north. The community’s main cross streets, such as Bradley Road and Fontaine Boulevard, are vital for local traffic, connecting residents to shopping, dining, and various local services.

The neighborhoods within Security-Widefield range from older, established areas to newer subdivisions, offering a variety of housing options that tend to be more affordable than those found in Colorado Springs. This affordability makes it an appealing option for many families and military personnel looking for convenient, cost-effective living close to base. The community is served by the Widefield School District 3, which includes several elementary schools, middle schools, and Widefield High School.
