Buying Colorado Springs Real Estate…Where Everyone Loves to Visit!

Posted in Colorado Springs Real Estate at 6:31 am by Angela Byrne

On my way to sunny Florida soon and I was just thinking about how great it is to live in a place (Colorado Springs) that’s fun to visit, as well.  When I moved to Colorado, I immediately found friends and family preparing their visits.  Every visit is different and they’ve allowed me to do a lot of things in our area that I probably wouldn’t have done on my own.  To name a few: cog railway up Pikes Peak, Cave of the Winds, Flying W Ranch, skiing, hiking (of course!), Air Force Academy sites, Cripple Creek, and more.  The list of attractions goes on…

According to the Colorado Springs Economic Development Corporation, tourism is one of the strongest parts of industry here…a hearty boost to the economy.  Here’s the 2007 Report from the EDC.  (Note: this is a really big file…don’t even attempt it if you have a slow connection).

I think tourism also helps our Colorado Springs real estate market.  There are so many things to do, there are a solid variety of jobs supplied and the economy is fortified by those visiting.  Tourism adds a fun twist to things.  You’re always meeting new people (and seeing out-of-town license plates).  We are lucky to live in a place that is visitor-ready 12 months of the year.  It means our parks are in good shape and we’ve got interesting attractions.  What more could you ask for?
