Home Sweet Home - 3/27/2006
This is the most beautiful place I've ever lived, not only that, the longest.
We have been here for 13 years and counting, we don't plan on moving. Pagosa Springs is getting bigger by the day. A lot of homes being built,business being developed. When we moved here there was only 1 stop light down town, now there are several. We had one fast food place and that was subway, now there are many. But the most beautiful thing about this place is the attitude of the people here. Everyone actually wants to help eachother out, because many are belivers in Christ. So that's how they perform. I know as for me and my house, we serve the Lord. That's what makes this place so beautiful. It's Christ in them that's beautiful! All the mountains surrounding the whole town are absolutly gorgous! Especially in fall, when all the leaves are changing! The place just glows! By far the best place I've ever been! Great place to raise a family, and to just live. I encourage you to come Read More

The area is growing rapidly however as it is one of the few mountain towns left in Colorado with relatively moderate housing costs. Development is beginning to happen in the area though and hopefully won't "ruin" what we Read More
