My pick of the week is in Holland Park area on 1090 Kara Ridge Pt.

It includes over 1400 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths,  2 car attached garage.kara Ridge 

If you are looking for a Colorado Springs townhome at a reasonable price in the desirable west side located close to Garden of the Gods, then this is the property for you.

The downside

Even though the property was built in 2004, the property has been lived in fairly hard.  There are some dings in the wall, paint chiped on some of the bull nose corners, some broken tiles in the main entryway; all easy cosmetic things to fix.

The one downside I saw about the property, the master bath only has a shower, vs. a shower and bath.   The carpet going to the garage is stained, but it may be able to be cleaned up.  Also it’s a typical bank-owned property with no appliances, but it has been cleaned up.

The other thing I didn’t like about the property was it’s location in the complex.   It’s a middle unit and there are another 8 units located just a sidewalk away; because of it’s location it felt dark and crowded.

    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 amazikara-ridgeng 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.  

    autumn-crestTownhomes 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 »
