Price Per square foot has BIG variances in Colorado Springs
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.

I we
nt and previewed some luxury townhomes in Manitou Springs this week. It’s always fun to look at some new properties that I’ve never seen, always something new to learn and something new to see; one of the many great things about re
al estate.
The first set of townhome I looked at are called the Cogway Townhomes. For those of you who don’t live in the area, one of the biggest tourist attractions in the area is the Pikes Peak Cog Train, and these townhomes are right off of Ruxton, the main road very close to the Cog and to the Manitou Incline, another local landmark in the area. There is only 1 unit completed and it looks like there are 6 or 7 more to be built; foundations are poured for some and 2 more of them have all of the framing done on them.
The property I previewed was a 4 bedroom, 3 bath unit with a 2 car garage
e, priced under $400,000; and it was done exceptionally well. As you walk in the unit there is a small entryway; and then you walk up 10 – 12 step to the main floor where you are greeted with Brazilian Hardwood Floors (at least that’s what I think the floors were made of.).
Kitchen was wonderful; bright and open, stainless steel appliances with granite countertops. Great views of the surroundings mountains in Manitou Springs, although these views may change once the remaining units get built. The living room has a gas fireplace with an inviting window to sit in and enjoy the view.
There seemed to be bedrooms everyplace (4 of them); Read the rest of this entry »

Mona List Restaurant in Colorado Springs
In the mood for a truly romantic getaway? Come to The Mona Lisa in Manitou Springs and you won’t be disappointed.
Mona Lisa is a fixture of West-Side Colorado Springs cuisine. The restaurant is in an old building with small rooms, creaky, crooked floors and steep stairs (check out the bathrooms where you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time about 100 years). It was originally built as a hotel in the late 1800’s. Old, signed wine bottles from previous guests line the walls and cubbies where a few of mine are there somewhere.
The food is magnificent. The four course meal includes salad; your choice of a regular salad, Caesar or their salad of the day (which when we went was a spinach with goat cheese, yummy), Read the rest of this entry »
