Living Along the Front Range
Colorado Springs isn't a city. It's a basecamp.
14,115-foot mountain in your backyard. 300+ sunny days a year. Lower cost of living than Denver. Real seasons. A craft beer or coffee within five minutes from anywhere. If you're moving here, you're picking the right place.

Four ways to get to know the area.
Whether you're considering a move, just relocated, or you've been here a decade and want to find something new — start here.
The outdoor stuff that keeps people here.
Garden of the Gods. Pikes Peak. Cheyenne Mountain. Manitou Incline. Red Rock Open Space. Within 30 minutes of any neighborhood, you can be on a serious trail.
Explore outdoor →Beyond the hike.
Museums, family attractions, breweries, downtown culture, Air Force Academy. The Springs has more going on than people give it credit for — and it grows every year.
See things to do →The food scene has arrived.
The Old Colorado City and downtown scenes are punching above their weight. Plus more craft breweries per capita than most U.S. cities. Don't sleep on the restaurant culture here.
Explore dining →Annual events worth planning around.
Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Air Force Academy graduation. Labor Day Lift Off (balloons). Festival of Lights Parade. Olympic Museum tournaments. The local calendar earns its keep.

Twenty years from now, I'll still be here. That matters when you're buying a home.
I'm not pitching a city I'd leave in five years. My family lives here. My kids are growing up here. When I tell you a neighborhood has long-term staying power, I'm telling you what I'd buy. When I tell you to think twice, I mean it.
