Moving to Colorado Springs- Advice?

adpi*violet · #1 08-25-2007, 08:58 PM

Would appreciate any advice anyone has about the Colorado Springs area. Grew up in northern CO, but haven't been back in 10 years, and didn't spend all that much time south of Denver growing up.
Looking for great areas to live, shop, ride bikes (both road and mountain), etc.
Looking for recs for real estate (buyer's) agents, health care providers, massage therapists, salon/spa, vet, etc.
Anyone out there in GC land live there now or are you familiar with the area?

Nice place to visit.

Uh, that's about the best I can do.

I would PM AngieWashU. Although she's living in Denver now, she's lived in Colorado Springs very recently.

I've got a great connection for a real estate agent in CO Springs-- Jamie Heath at Coldwell Banker. He sold my house last year for what I was asking for in just 3 months, after the house had been on the market for nearly a year with another realtor. He also helped me find that house when I moved to the area. He's great! Just let him know I sent ya!

Broadmoor. End thread.

Thanks to everyone so far.
The Broadmoor is definitely nice- spent part of our honeymoon there.

Unfortunately, probably can't afford that part of town. Though a return trip to the spa will definitely be on our list for the future.

the Broadmoor is great, but don't forget Garden Of The Gods, Pikes Peak railway and other stuff.
