Review of Pueblo, Colorado


Scary!
Star Rating - 5/3/2010
I moved here 2 years ago and what a mistake that was. I've lived in the mountains, plains, Denver and the Springs, so I know from which I speak. The reason for the move was affordable housing. Unfortunately all I got was shooting, drugs, cops chasing people in my neighborhood, car jacking on my street, and insane hooligans on the 4th of July. Yes, hooligans! Shooting illegal fireworks in a dry field and people's houses. 30+ people on a dead end street. Cops? After notifying them after 2 hours of this they never showed up. So much for protection! Just drive down I25 and notice all the slum areas on either side. Horrible place to live and, yes, I'm running away and leaving my house to the mortgage company. Too scared to wait it out to sell. Unless you're a gang member or illegal, don't move here!

I grew up here. I moved to WA after graduating and couldn't wait to move back and did, six years later.It's a great, quiet place to raise a family. There are a lot of activities for any age. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. It is pretty run down on I25 south because of the steel industry crash. That is one of the oldest parts of Pueblo. Most people in the Central area have been here since the 1940's and were employed by CF&I. I have never been to a state that didn't have a "Rough around the edges" story behind it.
