Why Do Home Buyers Choose To Live In…Colorado Springs?
Colorado Springs is a beautiful place!
Really, a large number of people who move here every year didn’t necessarily “choose” to come here. These people are our military troops who get PCS orders for Ft. Carson, Peterson AFB, NORAD, Schriever AFB and the United States Air Force Academy. These five installations bring many new people to Colorado Springs each month. Lots of them want to come here and for good reason. Other people begin their search for a new city in order to escape their old one. It’s no secret that fed-up Californians are still relocating here in large numbers.
Colorado Springs offers an excellent quality of life! Look outside the window of where you are currently living. What do you see? I look out my window and see Pikes Peak and the beautiful mountains of Colorado. The sky is usually a bright shade of blue and the air is clean. Our water is crystal clear and tastes great right ut of the tap. Not every city can say that.
Colorado Springs has many employment opportunities. Aside from the military presense, we have lots of major employers here. USAA, HP, Penrose St. Francis Hospital, Booz Allen-Hamilton, FedEx and many more.
The Pikes Peak region has more outdoor activities than most people have time to even think about doing! If you are a hiker, we have many trails in the city or within a 20 minute drive. Biking is popular as well. We see road bikers commuting to work and riding for pleasure. Mountain biking trails are easily accessible. Local parks have something for everyone as well. You can take a picnic to a neighborhood city park or spend all day in the Garden of the Gods.
Traffic is rarely an issue for Colorado Springs residents. The daily commute for most people is a short one with very few delays. This is a large city but drive times are short. Many people choose to live in Colorado Springs but work in Denver, only an hour away.
