Old North End.
1890s Victorians on brick-lined streets, a ten-minute walk to downtown.
The Old North End went up between 1890 and 1930, when Colorado Springs was a resort town with tuberculosis money and railroad ambition. The houses show it: full-width porches, leaded glass, oak staircases nobody would pay to mill today.
It is the closest thing to a Brooklyn brownstone block west of the Mississippi. Tree canopy over the street, sidewalks people actually use, and Colorado College two blocks south keeping the whole thing young.
The architecture.
Queen Annes, Dutch Colonials, Craftsman four-squares. Most are protected by historic overlay: what you buy is what the street stays.
The blocks.
North Tejon and Wood Avenue are the postcard streets. Cascade carries more traffic and better prices for nearly the same house.
The trade-off.
Character costs. Knob-and-tube wiring, clay sewer laterals, single-pane windows: budget the inspection like it matters, because it does.
Bands move with the market: I update these quarterly. For this-week numbers on a specific block, just ask.
