DeAnza Vista Apartments - Unclaimed

Centered at the junction of US-50 and US-285, Poncha Springs (81242) is a laid-back mountain gateway with big Sawatch Range views and quick access to the Arkansas River and Monarch Pass. Expect sunny, dry summers, snowy winters, and a friendly, outdoors-first culture—think trail days, bikes on racks, dogs on patios, and weekend runs to the Monarch Crest and Colorado/Continental Divide trails. Groceries and everyday shopping sit 5–10 minutes away in Salida (Safeway, Walmart Supercenter, Natural Grocers), while local coffee stands, food trucks, and the Elevation Beer Co taproom keep things social; fitness options include the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center and nearby gyms. Parks and greenbelts thread the neighborhoods, and rafting, fly-fishing, gravel rides, and powder days define the calendar; nightlife stays low-key with craft brews and live music close by. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around $2,200, with most listings between $1,600 and $3,000 over the past few months. Overall, it’s family- and pet-friendly, with quiet streets and an easygoing community vibe.
