What BestPlaces Users Say about Pueblo
Pueblo, Colorado is a mid-sized city located in the southern part of the state. It has a population of approximately 111,000 people and is known for its steel-making industry. It also offers outdoor recreational activities and a low cost of living compared to other cities in Colorado. However, like any city, Pueblo has its pros and cons. To get a better understanding of what it's like to live in Pueblo, we will include some excerpts from multiple user reviews.
According to user, John Smith, who has lived in Pueblo for 5 years, "Pueblo is a great place to live if you enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails, and the mountains are just a short drive away." Another user, Emily Johnson, shares a similar sentiment, stating, "The cost of living in Pueblo is very affordable. I was able to buy my first home here without breaking the bank." However, not all reviews are positive. Mark Thompson, a resident, notes that "the job market in Pueblo is limited and there aren't many opportunities for career growth." Similarly, Sarah Rodriguez, who has lived in Pueblo for 10 years, says, "The crime rate in Pueblo is a concern. I've had a few things stolen from my property and have heard of break-ins in my neighborhood."
Despite the mixed reviews, it seems that Pueblo has some advantages, such as its outdoor activities and affordable cost of living, but also some drawbacks, including limited job opportunities and a higher crime rate. It's important to consider all factors when deciding on a place to live, and these user reviews provide helpful insights into the experience of living in Pueblo.

Help me decide on Pueblo, Co - 4/14/2015
I am looking to relocate due to a job offer and have narrowed my search of cities down to Pueblo. I am curious on how the cost of living is in Pueblo? coming from California which is ridiculously high, i am looking for a new place to start a family. i was interested in Colorado Springs but it seemed to be a bit on the expensive side. we are a mixed race family (white/Mexican) in our late 20's so is pueblo a pretty welcoming city? and is it pretty safe as far as crime rates go? is the surrounding job market promising?

Good place to live - 3/10/2013
I am not promoting Pueblo as a place to move to, in fact most of us are happy with the size of our town. The reason for this post is to counter some of the posts I have seen on this site.
I was born and raised in Pueblo so living in this community I believe I do know enough about it to share an understanding of my home town.
I have lived in Denver, Southern California, Seattle, and have spent time back east so my experience is not just of Pueblo
What does Pueblo offer that other cities don’t? It is as simple as someone unknown to you saying hello while standing in line at the check out. Most people from Pueblo are friendly. They are not out to impress. They are excepting of those who are different.
The crime rate, if you look at the numbers is not any higher then towns for this size. I feel safe most anywhere in the community..
All my children graduated from Pueblo schools an went on to higher education. Teaching, nursing,

Wounderful Pueblo! A drinkers paradice! - 2/17/2013
What many may not understand about Pueblo, is that it's a very simple city.There are a lot of people to get drunk and party with! I have got drunk MANY times in Pueblo, and let me till you, them people LOVE to get drunk and the cops leave you alone!
So just go out, get a bottle of booze then get happy and walk the streets, and in no time you'll fine someone to get drunk with!
That is about the best advice I can give anyone who wants to move to Pueblo.

Don't do it!!!! - 1/1/2013
If you value your quality of life, moving to pueblo is the wrong answer. The only thing i ever hear as to why people move here is because of the mountains. That is all Pueblo has to offer otherwise its a

Noise - 1/27/2012
Pueblo is a very noisy city. No matter where you go, and for most of 24 hours, is the constant thumping of the bass of car stereos. When you contact the city police there is no enforcement of the city and state noise laws. When I contacted the city council members their response was any where from no response to there are laws but it depends on enforcement. The quality of life is not measured by jobs and social institutions alone, but also by the behavior of others too. Pueblo allows a very, very small minority of people go around and essentially thumb their nose at the law at the expense of others peace of mind. A person can't even enjoy the quiet of their homes without having to listen to the constant thumping of the car bass and vibrating of windows and walls. I have seen several times where Pueblo police were sitting next to a car with the bass cranked up, obviously breaking the law, and they have done

about Pueblo Colorado - 3/12/2011
Lived here more than 30 years simply because the spouse doesn't want to move and has good income from sources outside of Pueblo. Most people who don't like Pueblo are here because they can't get the other half to move. Some still here because they went broke and can't move. Mostly, the ones wanting to leave are wives because women here don't really like to make new friends. They have friends they've known since birth or at least high school, and their family is all here. They don't need new friends. You make friends with people who aren't from here and all you end up doing is griping about how bad you want to leave but the spouse won't do it. Most of those spouses are home grown Puebloans. There aren't really any groups to join here either. Two good things about Pueblo - clean air and no rush hour traffic. Cultural life is minimal. Economy very bad. Poverty rate really high. Mostly small local employers who won't or can't pay decent wages and tell young people they don't need to
