About
While the wealthy mine owners settled in their palatial estates higher up in the hills, the miners and railroad workers flocked to West Colorado Springs. This area is proud of its blue-collar origins and has remained true to its eclectic roots. Here, you would have found the saloons and shops that were the life-blood of the old gold rush towns. Some of those pieces of history have been preserved and celebrated in Old Colorado City, which today is a large tourist draw. West is very convenient to Central Colorado City, the “downtown” area, and also near to natural wonders like Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. If you are looking for homes on an incline, proximity to epic trail heads and the classic Colorado lifestyle, this is your place.
