One of the nicest things about Colorado Springs is its diversity of neighborhoods.  No matter what your age, lifestyle or income, the Pikes Peak area has the perfect neighborhood for you.  Families may thrive in suburban enclaves, but young couples and singles find a lot more excitement in two of Colorado Springs’ most eclectic neighborhoods.  If you are thinking about buying a home in Colorado Springs, but you’re not quite ready to settle down in the suburbs, then Manitou Springs or Old Colorado City may be the perfect fit.

Manitou Springs, located just west of Colorado Springs, is the perfect mix of city chic and delightful Victorian town.  Most tourists drive through it on the way to the Pikes Peak Cog Railroad, but it is also home to Miramont Castle and the Cave of the Winds. For couples interested in buying a home in Colorado Sprints that has turn of the century charm and unbeatable construction, Manitou Springs is a great choice.  Homes in this area average $320,000.  In the mountains just south of Manitou Springs, a beautiful community called Crystal Park offers a secluded and romantic mountain setting with breathtaking views among the pine trees.

Old Colorado City is a rich and historic area that lives up to its name by being the oldest area in Colorado Springs.  In addition to some great apartments and condos, Old Colorado City also has a fair amount of townhomes and single family homes, but the majority of the homes near the city center are built on small lots.  If you are interested in buying a home in Colorado Springs’ Old Colorado City neighborhood, search the MLS under the zip codes of 80904 and 80905.  The average home price in this charming area is $190,000.
