Colorado Springs has been voted one of the happiest cities in America. The natural beauty of Garden of the Gods and Pikes peak accent the beautiful character of the city. While a larger city, it has the feel of a small town, with friendly people and ample opportunities to plug in. Educational resources abound, as well as support services for those who might need it.
Entertainment options are at your fingertips in this city! There are several music venues as well as active nightlife downtown. Multiple movie theaters, gyms, restaurants and shopping areas provide everything one needs to keep busy.

Colorado Springs has a lot to offer! Whether you like exploring the city or wandering in nature. Downtown is filled with great parks, eateries, and shops. Just twenty minutes west are the mountains that hold a variety of activities. A big issue throughout Colorado that needs to be addressed is the shortage of affordable housing. There are endless job opportunities but how are those companies going to keep a good staff if they can't afford a place to live. Overall, I would highly recommend Colorado Springs!
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!
