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.

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.

My Colorado Springs foreclosure pick of the week is in Old Colorado City on 2415 W. Platte. It includes over 2300 square feet, with 4![hr10015033-0[1]](http://coloradospringsvintagehomes.com/files/2009/12/hr10015033-01.jpg)
bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car detached garage.
If you are looking for a fixer upper at a reasonable price in the desirable west side of Colorado Springs located close to Garden of the Gods, then this is the property for you.
Even though the property was built in 1948 and a Vintage Home, the property seems to need a fair amount of work. Let’s first start with the main level, carpets need replaced, but I think there may be wood floors under the carpet on the main floor which is always a bonus. The kitchen could use a complete overhaul, but you could probably keep the existing kitchen cabinets, and redo the floor and the put in appliances. There is some cracking in some of the ceilings, so as usual, you’d want a great structural inspection just to make sure it’s structurally sound. And I think all of the walls would benefit from being re-textured and repainted.

I spent part of last weekend showing condos/townhomes to one of my clients on the west side of Colorado Springs. As I’ve mentioned before in some of my previous posts, it’s an amazi
ng time to buy a home in Colorado Springs, especially if you are a first time home buyer. There are some very attractive deals in the townhome/condo market; as they seem to have been hit even harder on pricing than single family homes. Here’s a sample of some of my favorite properties I showed over the weekend.
Townhomes in Holland Park: Newer units, some were just finished in 2006. Close to Garden of the Gods and I-25; easy access to the Interstate. Tons of space for a townhome, as many of the units have 2 car garages, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, with almost 1500 square feet. One bank-owned unit is priced at less than $150,000. Amazing value for all this square footage. Some of these units originally sold for $180,000 to $200.000.
Townhomes in Pinecliff: One of my favorite areas of town, in a secluded neighborhood on the bluffs. The area is visited by local wildlife; and portions of Pinecliff have amazing view, all close to I-25 and Garden of the Gods. There are currently 2 properties for sale in the complex; one 2 bedroom 2 bath rancher with a carport for under Read the rest of this entry »

Old Colorado City Commercial district…fun to visit and lots of history
Old Colorado City during the early years
Search for Homes in Colorado Springs
The commercial district of Old Colorado City, located on W. Pikes Peak Ave., dates to the turn of the century (20th that is) when it was quite productive and prosperous. Due to the closeness of the railroad yards and ore mills it became a transportation and gold processing center. The railroads brought lots of tourists as well, creating a thriving hospitality business.
The business district reflected this economy. You could buy dry goods, furniture groceries. There were also drugstores and meat markets. Many of these building’s brick facades were provided by The Stucco, Brick and Cement Company located in Old Colorado City. Many of the buildings also housed meeting rooms, business offices, dentists, doctors and lawyers in the upper floors.
There were no shortage of saloons as
more than a dozen were in operation to provide refreshments and recreation for the populace, tourists and Colorado Springs residents trying to escape the city’s liquor free atmosphere. Places like Hoffman House, Oxford Club, Arcade, Colorado City Beer Hall and Bucket of Blood where many of them had second floor dance halls and gambling dens. The Cucharras Street Red Light District was on the adjacent street where you could indulge in more racier recreation if desired. Liquor, gambling and prostitution was banned in 1913 though you could still indulge in the town of Ramona which was founded by the bar owners for only those purposes. These buildings were later razed and Thorndale Park now occupies part of that scarlet town site.
Colorado City was annexed to Colorado Springs during World War I and became a bedroom community , which is now known as the westside. Due to the waning of Cripple Creek an economic decline started in the 1910’s and lasted until the mid 1900’s. Several of the original buildings were updated to unflattering modern renovations and several burned to the ground. Traffic declined even further when Highway 24 opened in the 1960’s.
Finally in the 1970’s, the district underwent a revival, supported by the City of Colorado Springs. Many properties were restored to the turn of the century looks and even some compatible new buildings were constructed on the vacant lots. Today the district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As in yesteryear, today “Old Town’s” ambiance attracts Colorado Springs residents and tourists. There are lots of shops, restaurants and interesting storefronts. Wide sidewalks, shade trees and park benches allow folks to stop, shop, eat and stay awhile. Notice the cornices, patterned brickwork and other wonderful architectural features of these historic commercial buildings.
