Colorado is a popular state known for its beautiful landscapes, outdoor activities, and thriving job market. Many people are drawn to its vibrant cities and charming small towns. However, as with any place, there are both positive and negative aspects of living in Colorado. In this context, I will summarize comments from various users on BestPlaces.net about their experiences living in Colorado.
According to user Karen M., "Colorado is an amazing state with endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. The people are friendly and the quality of life is great." Similarly, user Dan R. describes Colorado as a "gorgeous state with plenty of opportunities for hiking, skiing, and enjoying the great outdoors." These positive reviews highlight the state's natural beauty and the abundance of recreational activities.
On the other hand, user Sarah H. shares a different perspective, stating that "the cost of living in Colorado has become unaffordable. Housing prices are skyrocketing and it's difficult to find affordable rentals." Another user, Jake B., echoes this sentiment, saying "the job market in Colorado is competitive and the cost of living is high. It's definitely not a cheap place to live." These reviews highlight some of the challenges and drawbacks of living in Colorado.
Overall, many users on BestPlaces.net seem to agree that Colorado is a beautiful and dynamic state with plenty to offer, particularly for outdoor enthusiasts. However, there are also concerns about the rising cost of living and competitiveness in the job market. Ultimately, whether or not Colorado is the right place to live will depend on an individual's priorities and preferences.

No mosquitos! - 4/7/2008
If you like snow and low humidity, Colorado is the spot for you. Summers can be hot but with it feels cooler because of the lower humidity. Conversely, the winters are milder because of the higher altitude. The sun feels warmer in the winter so if you're outdoors in December, you might have to remove your jacket. We don't have that many mosquitos here, especially up in the foothills. We live in Coal Creek Canyon and we saw perhaps 2 mosquitos all summer last year.
It's very common to have snow one day and 60-degree weather the next. This truly is a great place to

Best Decision I Ever Made - 1/1/2008
As a software consultant, I have traveled to many states/countries over the years, and often take vacation in the southwest U.S., mostly in Colorado. I have moved from a small rural community in Ohio to northcentral Colorado a little over a year now.
It took me nearly twenty years to move my family to this beautiful state. My only regret is that I wished I had done this sooner. The quality of life is second to none here in the picturesque state. Abundant wildlife can be seen just about anywhere you venture to. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, combined with breathtaking views in the mountain, canyon and valleys, it's a clear reminder of why I moved my family here in the first place.
Another thing about northcentral Colorado is that it is conveniently located geographically from many national parks and monuments in the neighboring states like Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and South Dakota. All are easily within 6-8 hours drive, and ideal for long

Housing overpriced - 12/9/2007
Being from the South, I am used to much more home for the money. When I have to settle for one half the house for double the money, it does not work. Looking to relocate close to mountains in a growing area. Probably either Greenville, SC or Fayetteville,

Searching for a great family friendly and diverse - 12/2/2007
I live in colorado springs. I am married with an autistic child. I am a black female disabled veteran ( I was in the Air Force) my husband is in the Army. We have lived here for 3 years And I love the scenery but it is hard to find jobs and the rental and housing is sky high. I am an army bratt! I started school in Germany and graduated high school in Hawaii I know expensive and this is it. When our son was in kindergarten I picked him up from school instead of my husband and the next day the kids Jumped him.they said he was not yellow white he is yellow black and used the N-word. I was shocked my husband looks mixed or latino and my son looks just like him. I sometimes get those attitudes when my husband and me go out to eat at some places such as Briargate area, Woodland Park, Littleton, etc. I am surprised I only lived here previously when my dad was stationed here when I was 9 I am now in my early 30's. I like to find a place that is cultural, family friendly, We like to eat out

Great place to raise a family - 10/25/2007
I just love Colorado. If you love the outdoors Colorado is hard to beat. Great place to raise a family. Lots of fit and attractive people who are not scared to carry on a halfway intelligent conversation. Lots to see and do. Altitude and dryness make the cold not feel all that cold. A beautiful state with breathtaking views. Lots of public land set aside for all Americans to enjoy. People seem to not be all that materialistic. Native Coloradons don't brag about their state. It pretty much speaks for itself. Colorado is not perfect but it comes damm close to it. This is a state you can feel proud to live
