Colorado Springs Hiking Trails
Want to go hiking?
Colorado Springs offers lots of hiking spots right in town! I love this about our city. You can take a quick hike and then grab a nice lunch or even a late breakfast. Of course there are lots of other spots for hiking outside of town but this post is just about the hyper-local trails.
One of my favorite areas is Cheyenne Canon. There are several trails that offer a challenge and usually a spectacular view of the city or the mountains. The City of Colorado Springs has a great page on their web site with a full list of all of the local trails as well as maps of each trail. This will give you an idea of how long the trail is and the level of difficulty. Perfect for beginners or those hiking with kids. Other traills are good for just walking or biking. The site details those locations as well.
If you are planning a move to the Colorado Springs area, contact me for information on homes near hiking and biking trails. We have a few neighborhoods that are perfect for people who want to be able to come home and take a quick hike before dinner! Where else in the world could life be this good? Only in Colorado Springs!

Colorado Springs a Safe City?
I think so! According to a recent study conducted by Farmers Insurance Group, we rank at number 18. The study looked at the different factors that make a city safe: crime, foreclosures, weather, air quality, life expectancy and job loss stats. We ranked just below Seattle and just above Denver.

Colorado Springs Zip Codes
Just how Zippy are they?
If you are moving to Colorado Springs it can be a daunting task to determine exactly where you want to live. Some people rely on the “feel” or look of an area when moving to a new city. Many relocating buyers are data junkies that want to know all about the different areas that they have to choose from. I personally like to use a bit of both. Read the rest of this entry »
Need to Buy a Home Now? Get a Buyer Agent…Please!
I just had another call from a frenzied buyer hoping to beat the deadline for the $8000 home buyer credit. They saw one of my listings in the MLS and wanted to take a look at it. The bad news is that home already has several offers on it already. The seller will be choosing one today.
I asked the buyer if they were working with a Realtor. She said “no, we always call the listing agents. That’s what my family does.” What? Why? How? Read the rest of this entry »
