Sitting in the shadow of magnificent Pikes Peak you will find the wonderful city of Colorado Springs.  Since 1871 this dynamic community has been growing and transforming.  It has been everything from a gold rush boomtown to one of the centers of U.S. aerospace industry.

Colorado Springs is currently the second largest city in Colorado.  Its close proximity to the majestic Rocky Mountains, with world class skiing, climbing and hiking, makes it the perfect resort destination.  

Located 80 miles south of Denver, this sophisticated city is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy, Fort Carson U.S. Army Base and Fort Peterson Air Force Base.  The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) also operates out of Colorado Springs.  The U.S. Olympic Committee is based here and a training facility runs year round. Additionally, over 17 major electronics manufacturers have opened facilities in and around the city. With all this going on, now is a great time to buy Colorado Springs real estate.

Close by, several natural wonders amaze visitors and residents alike.  The Garden of the Gods with spectacular red sandstone columns is a place to stand in awe of nature's beauty.  Pikes Peak offers the chance to climb a 14,000 mountain without even getting out of your car.  Imagine looking out of your Colorado Springs home and viewing all this beauty!

Colorado Springs is at an altitude of 6,035 feet above sea level.  It is classified as an alpine desert which gives it a great year round climate.  You will enjoy over 300 days of sunshine here.  When you buy one of the great Colorado Springs homes for sale, you will enjoy white winters and comfortable summers!
