Security real estate is more commonly known as Security-Widefield and sits in the central-eastern part of the state, with a population of 29,845 friendly residents. The county in which Security is located is separated by an extremely mountainous terrain and prairie land. The prairie land is made up of beef cattle and diary cows, which is the main source of income for the local ranchers. The town sits at an altitude of 5,095 feet on the south border of Black Squirrel Creek and a whopping 14,110 feet at the summit of Pikes Peak, on the west boundary. And, best of all, the county seat is located in nearby Colorado Springs.

Residents and visitors alike enjoy a mild climate that provides 285 days of sunshine, 35 inches of snow, 15 inches of rain and low levels of humidity along with an uninterrupted view of the Front Range. This spectacular scenery inspired poet Katharine Lee Bates to write "America the Beautiful" after one of her many visits to the area.
