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.

Why Do Home Buyers Choose To Live In…Colorado Springs?
Colorado Springs is a beautiful place!
Really, a large number of people who move here every year didn’t necessarily “choose” to come here. These people are our military troops who get PCS orders for Ft. Carson, Peterson AFB, NORAD, Schriever AFB and the United States Air Force Academy. These five installations bring many new people to Colorado Springs each month. Read the rest of this entry »
Peterson Air Force Base Housing Goes Private
Thinking of living on base when you PCS to Peterson Air Force Base? Better think again–it could be a long wait! I have spoken with the people at Terra Vista Communities , the private company managing all housing at Peterson. They tell me that there is always a waiting list for housing.
