Buying a Colorado Springs Home Near Nature
I just met with a really nice couple who are exploring a move to Colorado Springs…and opening a new fitness facility here. They have a couple of Southern Colorado spot in their sights, and Colorado Springs is one of their picks because of the city’s reputation for being a healthy place and promoting healthy lifestyles.
I’m sure we earned the reputation, but I’m sure our fitness gauge was swayed my the number of Colorado Springs military installations in the region. We have lots of people relocate here (both active duty, retired, and civilian) because of a current or past affiliation with Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base and the Air Force Academy.
Anyway, in the past we’ve been awarded several fitness commendations:
Men’s Health ranked Colorado Springs as one of the nation’s top fitness cities.
Runner’s World named Colorado Springs the 14th best runners’ city in America.
Ranked 3rd Fittest City in the United States by Men’s Fitness.
Money Magazine Ranked Colorado Springs the #1 place to live!
Forbes Magazine ranked Colorado Springs top 25 Best Places for Business and Careers!
No matter where you are in the Pikes Peak region, there are plenty of things to do…rain, snow or shine!
If you like to Hike/Run, try Southwest Colorado Springs Real Estate, West Colorado Springs Real Estate, Black Forest Real Estate, Northwest Colorado Springs Real Estate or Northgate Real Estate.
If you like parks, try Briargate Real Estate, Tri-Lakes Real Estate, Black Forest Real Estate or Northwest Colorado Springs Real Estate.
We live in Black Forest. We are 1/2 mile from 4 miles of trails (for hiking, running and horseback riding). We are about 10 min. to two regional parks (with playgrounds, tennis courts, trails and nature areas). In addition, we are about 15 min. to indoor pools, fitness facilities, etc.
This is the case for many Colorado Springs real estate areas. If you don’t have a trail system at your back door, I would bet you’re within a 10 minute drive of one. If you’d like an area suggestion based on your specific real estate preferences, just let me know.
