Depends on what your looking for. $250-350,000 will buy a very nice place, especially now. Prices really vary with the part of town. I've got a little over 2400sq ft opposite side of town from Yasin and Fort Carson, and closer to the Air Force Academy. Older development (1981) and smaller homes, (no 3 car garage) but I figure the place is still worth 210-220. I'll see if I can get some pic's loaded.

The first shot is my home the second is looking west towards Pikes Peak. the second home is a little over 2800 sq ft and around 250 in todays market, in our neighborhood. Nice thing about the older subdivisions is the size of the lots. I've got almost a 1/4 acre (11,000 square ft)

Yasin's area is also very nice with lots of the ranch style homes

It's about 30 minutes from Pueblo Motorsports Park and about 90 minutes from High Plains Raceway :D

I love the outdoors, as far as mountains and snow and even some hunting, and basically everything that's in the Colorado area. I really think I'm going to love it up there. Who knows, maybe I'll find a good deal on a house and buy one.

Oh, and:

When you move here, you will have to schedule only one quick check with the Colorado DOT \ State Troopers - this is VIN Verification (makes sure the car is not stolen etc) and is a free service, and takes about 10-15minutes. Ironically this is done only in one location a few minutes away from Fort Carson.

SWEET!!!

Let me just tell you....

I lived in Colorado Springs (as well as small surrounding mountain towns - Woodland Park, Divide) for 8 years (1992 - 2000). I have been gone for 8 years now, and I think about moving back every single day! It just felt like home to me. The small-medium sized downtown was just right. Good food and drink, quaint bookstores, Colorado College, etc.. I worked at MCI (now Verizon) at Garden of the Gods. I could literally look out the window of my office and see Big Horn Sheep eating the grass on the medians in the parking lot!!! Every day I drove home up U.S. 24 along the side of Pike's Peak. Every day felt like vacation. About an hour and a half from my front door to the base at Breckenridge! Gold Medal trout fishing within 30 minute drive. Pike National Forest is a MILLION acre playground, just 15 minutes away. World class mountain biking and hiking literally around EVERY corner. Some of the best microbreweries in the world - I love Bristol and Phantom Canyon, both still there.

I WILL move back at some point, or at least to Denver. Can you tell I recommend it?

Best,
