Current Resident: We have lived here for a year and a half. We have a small child and the neighborhood is very family friendly. We live in Claremont Ranch and there is no HOA, which is a plus to us. The neighborhood still looks pretty good. There is some theft crime, but that is anywhere you go nowadays. The park nearby is small, but good for our uses. Probably not for older kids. Close to King Soopers and really anything one might need. Good view of Pikes Peak in most of the neighborhood. My only beef is that the houses are too close together. I basically see houses out of every window in my house. However I realize this is common here. I'm from Texas and lived in a small town where the houses are a little more spread out. That also seems all over the Springs. Not necessarily Cimarron Hills.... Read 39 reviews

Current Resident: If you love Colorado and want to live here, Colorado Springs (COS) is an excellent place to find a great price without compromising quality. Every town has its pros and cons. Compared to other cities, COS is one of the best places to live! The view of Pike's Peak right outside our windows never gets old! We have very quick access to the mountains, including a back route to the resorts along I-70 and the San Juan mountains. An endless list of unique, world-class places to explore and recreate. Denver is a quick drive. Although work opportunities are plentiful here, many people commute for work because the cost of living in Denver is high. The airport is a gem! We usually arrive within the hour of take-off time and get right in without a line or a TSA wait. There are some great schools. Low cost of living Property taxes are LOW! Our HOA fees are low and we never have any negative issues. We have the best neighbors than anywhere we've lived! etc...... Read 2,400 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 52 reviews

Current Resident: 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.

Nearby Resident: Manitou Springs is a small but popular town. The town gives access to free clean drinking water, there are seven mineral springs that bring up water for people to drink. I have seen people even bring empty jugs of water to fill up in these springs. The town also has a river along side of it where people can walk right next to the river. Many festivals happen in manitou like the annual coffin race. manitou is also very family friendly, the town has a “penny arcade” with tons of old school arcade games that are mostly just a quarter each to play. There are a lot of ice cream shops and a really good pizza shop called, Hell’s Kitchen, ironically across the street from a shop called, Heaven’s Juice Bar. When the sun goes down, the town is still alive, there are quite a few bars in this town that are oddly enough not really noticeable during the day. At the edge of the town is a hiking path called, The Incline, that has 2,744 steps to climb with 2,000 foot increase in elevation.... Read 12 reviews

Niche User: There has never been any big crimes in this area. People can walk around or go to the gas station at night without being scared of being kidnapped or murdered. There are never break-ins, kidnappings, drug busts, or murders in my area. When you're driving, it's very likely you'll see a police car.

Nearby Resident: It’s a pretty small town and I like that. It’s very family friendly and the view of the mountain is great! I do wish though that it was a bit cleaner. Some of the restraints could be cleaner and sometimes there is a lot of trash outside. But the people are friendly overall and there are some cute little dining places there. I haven’t heard the greatest things about the high school. But there are quite a few 4h groups in Calhan.... Read 9 reviews
