Monte Vista

• Town in Colorado
• 14 reviews

Current Resident: what i love most about Monte Vista Colorado is the beautiful mountain views, the unexpected weather and the camping and fishing sites are just around the corner. What I would like to see change in my town is for there to be some sort of tourist attraction in or around Monte Vista, that is why I am pursuing my degree in business. I am striving to build and open a casino and resort. My family loves to gamble but has to travel many miles to do so. The valley in itself has many tourists that travel to visit our ski resort , creed, south fork so i know a casino resort would benefit our community as well as create many job opportunities for us.

It offers all the outpatient care one needs, as well as select services from specialty doctors who provide services for Kit Carson County Health Service District. If you ever need medical attention, this is one of the best places to receive emergent and preventative care. Overall, Burlington, CO is a great place to live.

Brush

• Town in Colorado
• 6 reviews

Current Resident: Brush is your All American small-town located Northeast Colorado in between Sterling and Fort Morgan. Even though brush is the smaller of the three the community makes it feel like it's the biggest. Nowadays the world is a crazy place and it makes it hard to find a safe place to raise families. In Brush you don't see or hear much about crazy tragedies, the town has a very low crime rate making it safe to raise families and making you feel relaxed while your children play outside. The schools in brush have small classes, making it easier for the teachers to get one-on-one time with each student so you know your children are getting the attention they need to get the best education.

One thing I wish brush had was more job opportunities and more of a variety of shopping options.

Fort Morgan

• Town in Colorado
• 31 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Fort Morgan since I was a elementary student and it has been awesome to see how much the town has grown. Such in relation to roads, buildings, mainstreet and tons of other things being renovated. My dad was a engineer and helped with all of those projects and to see the ins and outs of how things changed. The school system had changed maybe not for the better but has changed. The growth Fort Morgan presented is what made me love this town.

La Junta

• Town in Colorado
• 30 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in La Junta for the last 24 years and I think its a great place for a family. Small town, everyone knows each other and is super friendly. The schools in the area have invested in furthering all education and are offering more STEM courses and post secondary education to their students. There is a small theater downtown and a local bowling alley but other than that making your own fun is the way to go.

Florence

• Town in Colorado

Craig

• Town in Colorado
• 7 reviews

Works Here: I have lived in Craig for 15 years and even though it is a small town, it is still home. While it may not have many places to hang out or stores to shop at, it makes up for it in outdoor experiences. Only a stones throw away from forested mountains, lakes, and beautiful camping spots, Craig is an outdoorsman’s dream.

Sterling

• Town in Colorado
• 35 reviews

Current Resident: Sterling is a great town to come to for the junior college and the small town atmosphere. The people here are pleasant and are always pleasant to talk to. Because of this small town atmosphere, the night life is pretty quiet with not a whole lot to do but it seems to be a good place to come and settle in for a while. The junior college has an amazing environment and offers a wide variety of degree options as well as different sports teams as well as rodeo. The buildings are old, but offer a lot of history and adds to the love in this town.

Trinidad

• Town in Colorado
• 46 reviews

Current Resident: While it may appear that my overall score and individual scores don't match up, I think personally believe four stars is fair. For anyone who isn't to caught up in themselves or material things Trinidad is an ideal town to grow up. Not too small so you get a taste of the 'real world,' and not too big so you get to enjoy its rural charm.

Niche User: I love Aurora, Colorado. I know many people have a negative opinion about it but that's what the news shows. The city does have some issues but overall I believe the quality of life is improving immensely. With the new light rail line to soon open in the spring of 2016, Aurora is very excited. More people and moving here and soon it'll be the New Jersey of the west. I absolutely love it here.

Cañon City

• Town in Colorado
• 56 reviews

Current Resident: Canon City is pretty nice, MORE IMPORTANT: What its becoming! Best weather in the state of Colorado! Fish, Hike, Bike, and instant access to the mountains (5 min).
Its been a retirement/fixed income town for many decades, and all the prices were very LOW a few years ago, but a lot of the visitors from out of state realize it is a great location... and lots of things are changing... and prices are doubled from 5 years ago. This will hurt the fixed income folks that didn't buy homes, as rents are going up quickly as well.
Don't be surprised if some of the generational locals are gruff with you many don't know "..whats the big deal?" or ".. this town will never be.." and if you come in from out of state and buy a house, they will definitely tell you that you overpaid.
Change is hard. But the train is coming through.. and you can get on board, or you can stand on the tracks.

Prides Crossing

• Neighborhood in Aurora, CO
• 13 reviews

Niche User: Colorado is a great place for everyone. I love it. Having the mountains so close creates a culture of outdoor-loving people as well as an overall healthier community. We've seen a lot of growth here over the past few years, people from all over the country moving here to enjoy the Colorado life. Overall the climate is also great. Some cold and/or hot spells here and there, but overall very stable seasons.

Wellshire

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 2 reviews

Current Resident: The best of all worlds. Close to the city. Cool houses that people are fixing up constantly. Decent-sized yards (for a major city, certainly). One of the highest rated elementary/middle schools in Colorado. A lot of families and young kids everywhere, and a very tightknit community (mainly due to the school being the center of gravity for the neighborhood)
