1. Treasure Hunting in Colorado
In the early days of Colorado history, mining for gold was
dangerous, hard work although it often sounded glamorous and
tempted many. Perhaps the allure of get-rich-quick
possibilities still resonates because in Colorado, treasure
hunting is big fun and a favorite pastime!
My favorite of the many hunts that you find at the site
www.coloradotreasurehunting.com is one that involves real
estate! Called The Old House Treasure Hunt, participants
are told to count the windows and doors of a rickety old house
whose floorboards are questionable, and then it directs the
hunters to more hiking, measuring, and searching. Once you
take your photo at the old house and all of the hunt sites, you
can claim your $100 prize.
If all this exercise and sweating sounds like a bit much for you,
there’s an easier way to find treasure in Colorado. In Colorado
Springs, a home with nearly 2400 square feet, four bedrooms,
and three baths is available for $169,000. The location?
Treasure Trail. The split-level home could use some updating,
but the joy in a remodel project like this is it’s located in a town
rich with the history of the old west.

2. Colorado Springs is located at the base of Pike’s Peak in the
southern part of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the
amazing scenery, people seeking real estate in this area may
also have a leg-up on job prospects. Located nearby is the
famous NORAD – the North American Aerospace Defense
Command – where the nation’s missile defense system is
coordinated.
Between tourism, defense jobs, and the high-tech emphasis,
people moving to Colorado Springs will need to save
somewhat to afford to buy a house. Home listing prices
average just over $300,000, but the actual sales prices are
around $180,000. The variety of real estate from which to
choose is good – from new construction homes available in the
low $200’s to upscale houses with amazing city and mountain
views.
If you have a hankering for fresh mountain air and are in the
mood to sing John Denver songs, give Colorado Springs some
serious consideration!
