Colorado Springs is a beautiful location and wonderful place to call home.
Situated at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains, it offers a view of Pikes Peak, proximity to Pike National Forest and the nearby Garden of the Gods park.
There are amazing hiking trailways, a railway leading to the summit of Pikes Peak and the red-sandstone formations of Gardens of the Gods park. Colorado Springs sees cold temperatures and plenty of snow for skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling in the winter. The summer is the ideal time to visit Palmer Park, Broadmoor Seven Falls and Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. The spring provides gorgeous wildflowers and the fall showcases colorful leaves. I’ve lived in Colorado Springs for a little over ten years. I initially settled in the area because of a boyfriend. I made the very big mistake of investing into a house with a guy I didn’t know all that well. It didn’t take long to realize he had very little interest in working or helping out with home maintenance. He also failed to pay his share of the mortgage, monthly bills and repairs. As I started to fall behind and the house steadily deteriorated, I wanted out of the relationship. I also wanted to get out from under the responsibility of owning a property. I knew that listing with a real estate agent and selling through conventional channels would involve several months at least. There would be issues associated with a home inspection, appraisal and showings. My boyfriend would have been a hindrance at every step of the process. The quickest and easiest solution was to sell to a cash home buyer. I researched and chose a local company that is family-owned and knowledgeable in the real estate market. They supplied a free cash offer without any obligation.
