Colorado Springs has some unique challenges for the home gardener and a dose of creativity is necessary to battle some of the external attacks on that coveted and highly anticipated harvest. The mystery of the disappearing vegetationcan drive even the most stable to antics displayed by Bill Murray in the movie Caddyshak.
One of the most intrusive and hardy critters yet to grace the eastern plains is a small burrowing sneaky beast known as the vole. It resembles a mouse but spends most of its time burrowing underground. In ground gardens are nothing more than a smorgasbord of yummy treats and their over zealous appetite makes them especially annoying and destructive. The typical crime scene is littered with clues as to the perpetrator at hand. Small round holes in the ground in- between rows of just ripening fruits and vegetables indicate the varmints have discovered the newest restaurant in town.
Brown and dying plants are the result of the root damage that occurs as well and can lead to total ruin of the entire plant besides the midnight raids on ripening fruit. Last but not least those spuds are toast nestled in their earthen beds. The best solution may be as simple as preventing access from below with the raised bed concept of gardening utilizing a strong chicken wire base as the barrier between beauty and the beast. Laying some weed cloth inside the bottom can also add protection from root damage and hopefully lead to a healthy harvest for the gardener and not the local vole population.

As a real estate agent living in Falcon, Co I often run into a lot of misunderstanding about this wonderful area, just North East of Colorado Springs. What is Falcon? Falcon is an unincorporated area in El Paso County. From days long gone Falcon was one of the many stops for the railroad. Traveling along Highway 24 you will find little communities spaced around 9 miles apart. These were the watering stops for the steam engines. The confusion comes mostly from the fact that when you want to send mail to any of the addresses, you have to address it to Peyton. Peyton is a little town just 9 miles North of Falcon.
People who want to buy a home in or around Colorado Springs, often skip Falcon, because it's considered too far East. Let's start by saying that "too far East" is relative. It all depends on what your reference point is. E.g. if you take Garden of the Gods as reference point, it could be true. However, if you take the Powers corridor (Powers being a major traffic artery on the East side of Colorado Springs) the earlier statement is not necessarily true. After all, too far depends a lot more than strictly distance. Commute times could be a factor as could be the distance to the place of work or Downtown or hospitals etc.
An example to show that Falcon is not all that far is the fact that it's relatively close to Peterson Air Force base as well as Schriever Air Force base. Each is about a 10-15 minute drive from the center of Falcon which is considered to be around the intersection of Woodmen Rd and Meridian Rd. From this same intersection it's about 30 minutes to Downtown Colorado Springs. It takes about 12 minutes to get to the Big Box stores on the East side of Colorado Springs.
You may wonder, what is the benefit of living in Falcon? For one, it's a small community that has started growing in the last 10-15 years. Currently about 13,000 people live in the area, at least half of which live in modern subdivisions. The rest of the Falcon residents live in a more rural setting. As Falcon is part of El Paso county, the sales tax rate is considerably lower than in neighboring Colorado Springs. Falcon is host to the second longest golf course (Antler Creek) in the United States. You still find mom and pop stores and restaurants in this area together with a few large stores like Safeway and Walmart. In general it's quiet with some exceptional views of both the mountains and the prairie. Living in Falcon is living away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, yet still close enough for those that seek crowds. Two of the main subdivisions (Meridian Ranch and Woodmen Hills) both boast trails and recreational centers with state of the art fitness equipment and pools.
Falcon offers for anybody a solution. If you want to live in a stick built home in suburbia Meridian Ranch or Woodmen Hills is your choice. If you'd like a little more country with large lots, Paint Brush Hills would be a good option. And if you would like horse property, either stick built or manufactured homes on 2.5 acres or more, just East of Highway 24 will give you a broad range of options.
Stay tuned for more information. The next blog will talk a little more about the developments that currently are taking place in the area, amongst which the possible incorporation of Falcon and a large symposium for non-profit service providers in the area.

Market Snapshot of Falcon North, what has sold by floor plan.
The question is to Ranch or to 2-story. What has sold faster. This question arises as you think about buying. You think, "will this sell down the road?" Well let's look at the numbers.
Total Solds in Falcon North since April 30th, 2010. 130 total homes

Total 2 story homes in Falcon North since April 30th, 2010, 66 total homes

And lastly the number of Ranch homes sold since April 30th, 2010 in Falcon North.

Ok, so what can we take away from this data?
1. 2 stories hold a slight edge in total homes sold. But this is a snapshot in time. And being a newer neighborhood/community tri-levels and bi-levels are harder to come by. However these 2 floor plans do represent 96% of the floor plans sold. So don't request a tri-level home for sale in Falcon Colorado
2. A 2 story spent on average 14 days less on market.
3. A 2-story styled home fetched roughly $.78 a sq foot. A Ranch styled home fetched roughly $.80 a sq foot.
4. Finally the 2-story home won the "most expensive home sold" category with a sale at $449,000. However the Ranch styled home won the "largest home sold" category with a home having 5036 sq feet.
Finally how can you take advantage of this market as a buyer or seller? Talk to your local Real Estate Agent in Colorado Springs
