I have called monument home for over 15 years. It is a small but wonderful community of people. Because it is small however there are limited options when it comes to shopping/work but since Colorado Springs is so close many simply choose to commute. We have great schools though and wonderful holiday traditions like the yearly Fourth of July parade!
I really like Monment's proximity to the Front Range, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, Denver, and the host of interesting opportunities and fun things that they entail. It should be noted that the actual town of Monument is rather ugly and doesn't have a ton of food choices, although that seems to be changing. If you're looking for a small-town environment, Monument is probably no longer for you. Increased population flow to Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas have practically merged Monument with its larger cousin. This being said, Monument is still a great place to live, and it's elementary, middle, and high schools are consistently high performing.
Monument has changed a lot since this is my hometown. It has expanded rapidly and I'd love to see more restaurants since options are sparse, but overall great little town!
