THE COMMUNITY

Location:
At the foot of Pikes Peak, serving El Paso and Teller counties, an hour south of Denver on Interstate 25; 40 minutes north of Pueblo on Interstate 25.

Market:
Colorado Springs is a young, relatively affluent outdoors-oriented high tech market.  The area’s chief economic drivers are the military, tourism, and information and technology.  It also is a major center for amateur sports, and home of the U.S. Olympic Training Center.

Things to do:
We sit at the base of “American’s Mountain,” Pikes Peak.  Because of our location, opportunities abound for hiking and mountain biking.  Some of the best skiing in the world is approximately 100 miles away.  Although we’re only 70 miles south of Denver, snowfall is minimal.  It’s not uncommon to have winter days in the 60s.
