I love the scenery here at Colorado Springs and there are so many attractions to see and visit! The nightlife is great in Downtown Colorado Springs and there are plenty of places to go to like the Springs Philharmonic or numerous museums. The commute is not only beautiful with the views of the mountains, but the traffic is pretty moderate as well. The population has grown and there are tons of free parks like Garden of the Gods, Helen Hunt falls, Ute Valley Park, and Monument Park. Or you can pay to go to Cave of the Winds or the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo which is a beautiful zoo that's on a mountain! The weather is mostly great and super family friendly!Definitely visit or live here if you can!
Colorado Springs is an excellent town to live in. I was born and raised in this city, and I feel like the possibilities are endless here. There are plenty of outdoor activities for every age group such as a hike through Garden of the Gods or the challenging trek up the Incline. The nightlife is great in Downtown Colorado Springs, and there are plenty of places to visit like the Springs Philharmonic or Jack Quinns. Your commute is not only beautiful with the views of Pikes Peak, but the traffic is pretty moderate as well. There are so many unique things to discover in this beautiful place!
It's steadily growing, but I still love it here. It's been my home for over 11 years. There's so much to do and things are changing a lot so there's no shortage of activities and restaurants to try. It's pretty big, but I can see and do a lot of things driving for just ten to fifteen minutes in almost any direction. It's not as chaotic as Denver, which is only a short hour drive away, but it definitely has almost as many things to do! Colorado Springs will always be my home.
