Thinking Of Moving To Colorado Springs?
If you are planning a move to Colorado Springs be sure to consider some of the exciting yet interesting things to do in Colorado Springs as this may help you choose which specific area you would like to live in. If you love living in the city close to a lot of things to do, fun events, and generally speaking Downtown Colorado Springs has a nice steady flow of things to do such as concerts, local events, farmers markets, and even an early morning pancake breakfast with a parade of horse riders, music, dancing and more.
This event takes place in Downtown Colorado Springs which is an incredible place to live. There is so much to do, yet it is somewhat quiet (depending on where you live), and there are many early century single-family homes in the area north of Downtown Colorado Springs.
Other areas of Colorado Springs that are our favorites include Broadmoor, Black Forest, Fountain Valley, and Manitou Springs.
The Broadmoor Hotel built in 1918 is one of two 5-star hotels in Colorado. It holds a rich history and is simply an incredible place in all regards. The neighborhoods in this area range from single-family homes and townhomes in the 300's to multi-million dollar estates.
Black Forest is exactly that, a big forest, from the sky, it looks black. Its a pretty amazing place with nature surrounding you filled with wildlife and in some areas incredible views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, Pikes Peak, and Downtown Colorado Springs. There are properties available in Black Forest that fit a wide array of possibilities, from pieces of land listed below 100K to multi-million dollar estates. Most properties in this area are horse properties or otherwise not under the covenant control.
Fountain ValleyWe love Fountain Valley because this area is truly unique when it comes to a unique perspective of Pikes Peak and the Front Range Rocky Mountains. Fountain Valley sits to the south of Colorado Springs so from most areas in Fountain Valley you can see Cheyenne Mountain as well as the famous Pikes Peak. Properties in this area range from modestly priced pieces of land to condos and smaller single-family homes starting in the 200's and going into the mid 500's for a larger single-family home with some acreage.
Manitou Springs
We love Manitou Springs because it is truly a unique place to live. You have so many options in Manitou Springs and there are a bunch of really cool houses close to the downtown area of Manitou Springs. If one of these quaint little properties comes on the market it is sure to go quickly as this area is a pretty awesome place to live. With a creek flowing through town and a few natural springs where you can go fill up your water bottles with natural spring water right out of the ground! Additionally, we love the Crystal Park area. This area is an incredible nature escape. There are so many fun and exciting things to do right out of their doorstep, like hiking, mountain biking, incredible wildlife watching opportunities, and they even are lucky enough to see mountain lions from time to time. If you like living in a mountainous area this area is definitely worth checking out.
