There are many things to love about El Paso County, CO. First, the scenery is absolutely stunning! Pikes Peak and the Front Range set an amazing backdrop! This provides not only beauty, but also a sense of direction, because you always know which way is west. Second, the weather, although a little wacky, is usually nice. You may have snow in May and 65 degrees in January, but you have 4 seasons and you almost always have bright blue skies. Third, the people of El Paso County are generally generous, calm, and kind. They are pleasant people to live among, work with, and interact with. Fourth, whether your interests are artistic, outdoorsy, or historical, there are lots of things to do. There are however a few serious downsides to El Paso County. The first is there is an enormous homeless population. From downtown to the outskirts, you will encounter panhandlers pretty steadily. Second, it really feels like an enormous suburban sprawl along the I-25 corridor.
A solid, beautiful place to live and to serve in any type of career. Amazing Mall's Hospitals, places of service, Restaurants, Neighborhoods and so so much more. I was raised in here in a Californian Family, and I'd never want to live anywhere else in the US so much more!
El Paso County in Colorado is the most beautiful area I've ever lived in. There is so much diversity when it comes to landscapes and scenery. There are magnificent gigantic Red Rocks and huge boulders that make up Pike's Peak. I love the people, the local business is amazing, and I wouldn't live anywhere else!
