What BestPlaces Users Say about Colorado

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.

I have lived in Conifer for 34 years, it is a great place to raise children. I raised two boys here in these beautiful mountains, the community gatherings are great, our "END of SUMMER" party is held at my house annually and has been for the past 20 years. I love this community, we pull together .

Getting ridiculus - 3/21/2011
I love living here because there are thousands of things to do. People are friendly and despite the lack of cultural diversity, there is a lot of new, exciting stuff to be seen. Public schools are great. But there is a huge problem with the costs of housing. I have lived about an hour away from Denver for my entire life, and I have seen costs of rent/mortgage go up in huge amounts every year. A medium size house (3bed,2 bath) is often more than 350,000 where I live, and it's not really even a big town. And that is average. A peice of land that isn't in a suburb is even more expensive. Expect to pay at least half a million for any small chunk of dirt that is available- usually an acre or two. If you have the funds for a home, or can opt for a single room apt., Northern co is amazing. I just don't personally feel that it is worth spending the Read More
