Buying a House for the Addict in All of Us
As I write this, I am enjoying a hot cup of Columbia Excelso (Rainforest Alliance Certified) dark roast coffee from R & R Coffee Cafe. I am a self-professed coffee junkie. Rarely will my day start without a steaming latte or a nice hot brew at home. In marketing Colorado Springs homes, I always mention the surrounding amenities that I believe help people feel more at home in a new area.
If relocating to the Black Forest region, I would share R & R Coffee Cafe as one of the pluses. I do this because when folks are looking for a new home, they are not just looking at four walls and a roof. Neighbors and neighborhood can also make-or-break their experience in their new home. If I were shopping for a home, and I found two properties with very similar features…the area amenities (like great local coffee shops) would impact my decision on which one to purchase. I think most people feel this way.
Here are a few other local coffee shops with attentive service, amazing coffee and food selections, nice atmospheres, even some with in-house bean roasting.
- Pikes Perk (Downtown, N. Academy, Powers and Research)
- Montague’s Parlour (South of Downtown)
- Espresso at Stratford’s (Falcon, CO)
- Serrano’s (N. Academy; Monument, CO)
Whatever it is that gets you interested in and excited about an area, I would love to help you find Colorado Springs real estate nearby. Just contact me for a list of homes that are close to your hobbies, interests and those that match your area preferences.
