It has the city’s largest concentration of retail shopping, restaurants and entertainment; and new restaurants and shopping continues to be added. Commuting from Powers takes 10-25 minutes. Some of my favorite neighborhoods include Stetson Hills, Indigo Ranch, and Springs Ranch.

I’m a little remiss in writing this, but last week I previewed luxury foreclosures in the Falcon and Peyton area. Found some great properties out there; most of them didn’t look like they had ever been lived in. First of all, the majority of Falcon and Peyton makes me feel like I’m back in Kansas again (which is where I grew up). Most of the lots are flat, you can see forever to the east, but they do have great views of the Front Range and Pikes Peak. The properties I looked at ranged anywhere from $313,000 to $569,000. I had a couple of them that were my favorites; but the one I like the best was on Gilbert Drive in Falcon/Peyton. What an amazing property! I’m not sure it has ever been lived in; and according to the assessor’s office it was finished in 2006. When you walk to the property it has a great courtyard, surrounded on 3 sides by a stucco walls and then you enter the house by a “giant” wood door; felt like I was a munchkin entering the castle.
The first thing you see when you enter is a wonderful fireplace in the living room; accented by the dark wood shelves on each side.
