Colorado Springs realestate, pricing per square footage
For a free market analysis on your neighborhood and home, Email Kathy at KTorline@msn.com
Colorado Springs realestate is just like any other city in that average prices vary vastly in different areas. The local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) breaks down the City into different areas, and within each area there are many different neighborhoods. As part of putting together monthly market statistics, I also put together info on average price per square footage and average price per FINISHED square footage. As you can tell from the info below, average square footage pricing varies vastly in different parts of Colorado Springs. This information is a broad base guideline, as within each area, neighborhoods pricing can vary immensely.
The southwest area, which includes homes in The Broadmoor Area, and homes in Manitou Springs are the highest prices per square foot and homes in Old Colorado City are currently the cheapest per square foot. Homes in the Northeast area, which includes Vista Grande and Pulpit Rock are in the middle of the pack with an average price per square foot of $93.00.

Charles Tutt, one of Colorado Springs Pioneers
Search for Historic Homes in Colorado Springs
I came across an article that stated the original Marion House Soup Kitchen located at 14 W. Bijou, once belonged to Charles and Josephine Tutt. The home was a three story victorian built about 1890. The Tutt’s and their heirs were pioneers here in Colorado Springs and I’ve often 
heard how important they were, but who exactly was Charles Tutt Senior, friend and business partner to Spencer Penrose?
Charles Leaming Tutt was born in Philadelphia and was a school friend of Spencer Penrose. His father died when he was twelve and he had to leave school to earn a living. He was always on the sickly side and therefore, decided to locate to Colorado Springs in 1884. He actually had a ranch in Black Forest until he met and married Josephine Thayer in 1887. She refused to live in the country, so Charles sold his ranch and moved into Colorado Springs and started a real estate and insurance business and occasionally trying to get rich in the gold mines. His offices were located at 14 E. Pikes Peak, which is now unimproved land. Apparently, at some point there was a building there which is now gone.
Tutt had purchased the COD mine in Cripple Creekbut until Spencer Penrose showed up to get it Read the rest of this entry »

Cripple Creek Gold Rush and what it meant to Colorado Springs
The Old North End’s home building boom in Colorado Springs 
Search for Homes in the Old North End
The late 1880’s were difficult for Colorado Springs. It had stagnant growth and Colorado College fell on hard times. The Old North End appeared to be destined to only house prairie dogs and rattlesnakes with its open, grass-covered fields.
This was about to change as gold was discovered nearby. In 1890, a prospector by the name of Bob Womack found some gold by a stream called Cripple Creek. The great gold rush was on. By 1896, production soared. Read the rest of this entry »

Steele Elementary School in The Old North End of Colorado Springs
One of the first schools built in Colorado Springs
During the Gold Rush of the 1890’s many people were coming to Colorado Springs and building their homes in the Old North End. This created a problem due to a lack of schools; so in 1896 the school board bought several lots on the northwest corner of Del Norte and Weber. A building that had been used as an annex for Garfield School was 
moved onto the property and the school was called the Del Norte School. It started as a 2 room building where 43 students in first, second and third grade attended.
In 1901, due to the area’s explosive growth, bonds were issued and a eight room, 2-story brick building was built. The name was changed in memory of Benjamin Steele, the first editor of the Daily Gazette. It opened on January 28, 1901 and dedicated on February 22, 1901. Read the rest of this entry »

Search for Homes in Colorado Springs
Bon Center is having a birthday party! Its opened in 1953 as Colorado Springs first strip mall (still located o
n Wasatch) and is celebrating its 55th birthday with an open house. Though most of the “ultra modern” look is gone, the original sign still remains to give us a small glimpse into its past.
When it opened it was Colorado Springs first strip mall and still survives and thrives today even though many of its counterparts are no longer in existence. How is that possible? The center was originally planned into the community and its still supported by the residents and of The Old North End and Patty Jewett neighborhoods. The center’s owners try and keep the rents low enough that the Mom and Pop operations can make a living and be supported by its local homeowners.

The History of the Old North End
Search for Historic Homes in Colorado Springs
The late 1880’s were difficult for Colorado Springs. It had stagnant growth and Colorado College fell on hard times. The Old North End appeared to be destined to only house prairie dogs and rattlesnakes with its open, grass-covered fields.
This was about to change as gold was discovered nearby. In 1890, a prospector by the name of Bob Womack found some gold by a stream called Cripple Creek. The great gold rush was on. By 1896, production soared. Most of these men who came and mined the area didn’t want to locate their families to such a rough area. They decided that Palmers “Little London” (aka Colorado Springs) would be a perfect place to build their homes and bring their families to.
Between 1890 and 1900 the population of Colorado Springs Read the rest of this entry »
