Local Charm & Historic Homes

If you're looking to buy a home with history and character, Downtown Colorado Springs combines timeless charm with modern livability.

The Old North End, just north of downtown, is beloved for its stately architecture, larger lots, and strong community pride.

You’ll find historic single-family homes mingled with renovated lofts, condos in historic buildings, and newer infill townhomes—all offering lower-maintenance options within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Homes here tend to move fast—especially those that masterfully blend historic style with updated kitchens, bathrooms, and open layouts. For a unique, walkable lifestyle rooted in character, Downtown truly stands out.

Urban Living & Local Energy

Living downtown means being at the center of it all—from your morning coffee run to convenient weekend plans. Catch a Switchbacks game at Weidner Field, enjoy dinner and cocktails at Cork & Cask, or immerse yourself in culture at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.

With easy access to workplaces like UCHealth Memorial Hospital, Colorado College, and a growing number of downtown tech firms and local businesses, life here balances work, play, and community perfectly.

Shopping, Dining & Entertainment

Along Tejon Street and surrounding streets, there’s a local favorite around every corner—from artisanal bakeries to craft breweries and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Stops like T‑Byrd’s Tacos & Tequila, Odyssey Gastropub, and Poor Richard’s keep the dining scene vibrant.

You’ll also find galleries, gift shops, vintage stores, and weekly standout events like the First Friday Art Walk and seasonal markets. Spaces like COATI  blend food, culture, and live music in a single immersive experience.

Outdoor Spaces & Walkability

Downtown may feel urban, but outdoor spaces are never far away. Acacia Park hosts everything from concerts to ice skating, while America the Beautiful Park offers playgrounds and sweeping views of Pikes Peak.
