Review of Colorado Springs, Colorado


Help us narrow our options down
Star Rating - 3/22/2016
I'm looking for comments and feedback to try to decide where is the best place our family can move. We have my Mom-80 and 3 kids-13,11,3 plus my hubby and I - the six of us want to move out of state because it's too expensive to live and thrive in SoCAL. I'm stay at home mom, husband works as a supervisor in call center and mom is retired. We want low cost of living - buy a spacious 5bd house for $350k max where schools are great. We've looked at Colorado Springs, Phoenix AZ suburbs and now exploring Oregon. The main issue is we MUST be close enough to visit family still living in CA. Anyone have any suggestions on best cities/neighborhoods? We're trying to move this summer and I'm freaking out that we haven't narrowed down our options. Please help if you can. Thanks!!

Ma'am/Sir: check out north Phoenix in ANTHEM, or north SCOTTSDALE. Also Cave Creek....go further north to Prescott and Prescott Valley. Christopher

Not Colorado Springs. If Mom is 80, she may have issues with altitude sickness. In addition, the cost of living is high if you want to continue as a stay at home mom (which is always a good thing).
