What are some great small towns around Colorado Springs to live in?
We are thinking about moving in about 3 years when my husband is out of school. He’s an electrician and there are only 3 locals in Colorado. Denver, CO Springs and Pueblo. Denver is tooo big and to much city for us small town Kansas kids. So the other too are good. I’ve been to CO springs and loved it. Have never been to Pueblo, so don’t know what its like. Like I said, we come from very small towns in Kansas and we would like to live in the country and raise cattle and horses, like our parents did. We have one baby right now and plan on at least two more, so we’d like to know about the schools as well. I use to live in CO.. a very small town called Crawford! I loved it!:) So I can’t wait to move back in the future!
Any info would help.. I haven’t done much research yet. Just looked at the housing market a little and CO Springs website. Thanks!:)
There’s Falcon out on the east. It has some city conveniences like a Wal Mart and a Blockbuster, but there’s still a lot more land, horses, and overall “country” look to it. Past Falcon is Peyton, I only passed through there once and it’s your typical small country town, with a general store and a diner.
Or, there’s Manitou Springs over at the foot of Pikes Peak. It’s really touristy in the summertime, but if you want to move a little further up the hills away from the streets, that’s good too. And the views are amazing!
Or, to the north of the Springs is Monument. It’s one of my personal favorites. Small town near the green hills, it’s really pretty in my opinion.
But I think your best bet would be to visit yourself, especially during the tourist season, to see how well you fit in. Hope this helps!
