Peyton is primarily a rural area and does not offer as many developed neighborhoods as the surrounding areas, with the exception of Antlers Ridge. Antlers Ridge Estates is the last frontier for homeowners who want more home, more land, and more freedom to enjoy their Colorado Lifestyle. Each lot in Antlers Ridge Estates is large enough (2.5 acres) to accommodate a sweeping range of floorplans and architectural styles; they can be scaled and designed to meet your every whim and fancy.
Peyton, Co is served by school district Peyton 23-JT.
