Real Estate in Colorado Springs, CO

Colorado Springs is the largest city in El Paso County and sits at the base of Pikes Peak, about an hour or more south of Denver depending on traffic. Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain and Manitou Springs give it a distinct mountain setting.

The military is a major presence, with the Air Force Academy, Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base and Schriever Space Force Base nearby. That brings steady relocation activity and many buyers using VA loans, often on a tight timeline.

Housing ranges from historic homes in the Old North End and Old Colorado City to established mid-century neighborhoods, townhomes and large newer subdivisions in areas such as Briargate and the east side. Jeffrey compares neighborhoods and helps you plan around timing, financing and insurance.
