Colorado Real Estate – The Rocky Mountains
By: Raynor James
Colorado is the land of the Rocky Mountains and
all that comes with it. Located in the foothills, Denver is the
central location for Colorado real estate.
Colorado
A state dominated by mountains, Colorado is a popular
relocation spot for outdoors enthusiasts. The state offers skiing,
hiking, rock climbing, fishing, camping and other activities in
the mountains in combination with big city sophistication in Denver.
A beautiful state, Colorado experiences the full effect of the four
season of spring, summer, fall and winter.
Denver
Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains,
Denver is a modern metropolis and is growing. Undergoing serious
redevelopment, Denver has sprouted a new sophistication with a lively
night scene, strong cultural feel and big city sports teams. With
a population approaching two million, the Mile High City is experiencing
significant growth and is starting to experience the negative aspects
of too many people. Still, there are plenty of jobs and the city
is a great launching point for experiencing the surrounding mountains.
Boulder
Home to the University of Colorado, Boulder is a
classic little college town in both atmosphere and appearance. The
town is such a pleasant place to live, many have tried to relocate
there causing high real estate prices. With the liberal attitude
typical of a college town, Boulder is pricey but an absolutely great
place to live.
Steamboat Springs
One of many ski resort areas in Colorado, Steamboat
Springs is a personal favorite. Originally a ranching town, Steamboat
Springs has a definite western atmosphere complete with Cowboy poetry
readings and so on. Sitting in a small prairie and surrounded by
sweeping valleys, the area is visually stunning in the winter. In
summer, flowers bloom and hiking, mountain biking, camping, fishing,
bird watching and practically any outdoor activities are readily
available. An absolutely great place to live.
Colorado Real Estate
Colorado is one of the more popular relocation destinations
in the United States. Californians, in particular, seem to be flocking
to the state to escape the crowds and outrageous costs of living
in California. One of the keys to getting a good deal in Colorado
is to look just outside of centralized locations. You can easily
find real estate at a thirty or forty percent discount as little
as five miles out of town.
Colorado real estate prices are highly dependent
on the location. Denver is reasonable with prices averaging $325,000
for a single-family residence, while the same home in Boulder will
cost you an additional $200,000. Move up into the mountains and
you can expect prices to do the same.
The Colorado real estate marketing is currently
undergoing a bit of a consolidation process. For 2005, appreciation
rates have been a relatively low six percent on average.
