Colorado Real Estate
"Going home to a place I’ve never been before" is a terrific quote from John Denver’s song, Rocky Mountain High. Many who have visited this beautiful state have felt this emotion and have to at least check out the Colorado real estate market.
Most of Colorado’s residents live just east of the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies in flourishing, cosmopolitan cities like Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Many others seek properties in the ski villages such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, and Telluride for permanent or vacation homes. Ranchers and horse lovers are attracted to the eastern plains of the varied state.

Colorado Geography
Colorado is in the western United States and is most known for the Rocky Mountains which run north ans south through the western half of the state. Colorado is a primary destination for millions of tourists each year, both summer and winter.
East of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains are the Colorado Eastern Plains, with elevations ranging from 3500 to 7000 ft above sea level. The plains are sparsely settled with most settlements along the South Platte and the Arkansas rivers and the I-70 corridor. Rainfall is meager, averaging about 15 in/year. There is some irrigated farming, but much of the land is used for dryland farming or ranching.

The major cities and towns lie just east of the Front Range, in the I-25 corridor. The majority of the population of Colorado lives in this densely urbanized strip.

To the west of the Front Range lies the continental divide. To the west of the continental divide is the Western Slope.
The Rocky Mountains within Colorado contain 52 peaks over 14,000 ft, known as fourteeners. The mountains are timbered with conifers and aspen to the tree-line, at an elevation of about 12,000 ft in southern Colorado to about 10,500 ft in northern Colorado; above this only alpine vegetation grows. The Rockies are snow-covered only in the winter; most snow melts by mid August with the exception of a few small glaciers. The Colorado Mineral Belt stretching from the San Juan Mountains in the southwest to Boulder and Central City on the front range contains the historic gold and silver mining districts of Colorado.

The Western Slope is generally drained by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Notable to the South are the San Juan Mountains an extremely rugged mountain range and to the west of the San Juans, The Colorado Plateau a high desert bordering Southern Utah. Grand Junction is the largest city on the Western Slope. Grand Junction is served by Interstate Hiway I-70. To the southeast of Grand Junction is Grand Mesa, a large flat-topped mountain. Further east lie the ski resorts of Aspen, Vail, Crested Butte, and Steamboat Springs. The northwestern corner of Colorado bordering Northern Utah and Western Wyoming is mostly sparsely populated rangeland.
From west to east, the state consists of desert-like basins, turning into plateaus, then alpine mountains, and then grasslands. Mount Elbert is the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains within the continental United States. The famous Pike’s Peak is just west of Colorado Springs. Its lone peak is visible from near the Kansas border on clear days.
