Foreclosure in Old Colorado City, Deal or No Deal?
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.
Technology and nature compliment each other
Technology and Nature compliment each other
OK, I know I err on the side of being a technology geek; but I’ve just heard about the most amazing thing ………… The City of Colorado Springs has a walking tour podcast about Garden of the Gods available on ITunes.
Seems like the best of both worlds to me; technology and nature!
Garden of the Gods is a giant rock garden composed of red sandstone formations and is located on the west 
side of town in the 80904 Zip Code. It is minutes from neighborhoods on the Northwest and West side of Colorado Springs including Mountain Shadows, Cedar Heights, Pleasant Valley, Rockrimmon, Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs. According to the information on the Springs government web site, the park system is visited by 1.7 million visitors from around the world each year.
In 2009, the City is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Garden of the Gods becoming a City park. There is a wonderful timeline showing the history of the park Read the rest of this entry »
Birding season, mark your calendar
Looking for something unique to do? Love watching wildlife?
I’ve never been an avid bird watcher, but I certainly enjoying watching any type of wildlife; including birds. I was doing some research this weekend on local birds, including the hummingbirds that come by and visit us every year and I came across these unique activities in Colorado Springs, and thought I’d share it with our readers …………
Plan now to take advantage of the monthly bird walks at the Garden of 
the Gods Park. The park staff is partnering with the American Birding Association (ABA) and is offering monthly bird walks from May to November.
According to some information I found during my research for this blog, there have been over 170 species of birds seen in the park. Some of the local birds found are the Spotted Towhee, Virginia’s Warbler, White-throated Swift, Prairie Falcon, and the Rock Wren.

Since I’m a “wanna-be” athlete, and I’m a statistic “junkie, I love articles like the recent publication in Men’s Fitness Magazine. The article praised Colorado Springs, which is no surprise to those of us who already live in the area.
The ranking information on the web site includes a report card, with A through F rankings. The area was rated an A in some categories, including Geography, Nutrition, Air Quality, and Parks and Open Space. But ………… on the other end of the spectrum there were F ratings for Alcohol Consumption and Access to HealthCare. Our neighbor to the north, Denver, was ranked #4, and also received an F in Alcohol Consumption, as well as they also received a D for Commute and Access to Healthcare.
There was some great trivia information posted on the web site:
- The number of heavy drinkers here is high: Colorado Springs has 17 percent more than average and the, 7th highest in the survey.
