Review of Colorado Springs, Colorado


From great to good.
Star Rating - 6/17/2018
Its beautiful here lots of sunshine, late afternoons you experience wind and thunderstorms which are in and out within an hour then sunshine again the winds stick around longer. Summers are awesome for temperatures, the winters do get cold at night and much warmer during the days. Moderate traffic almost never stopped traffic unless an accident, tailgaters are terrible here as well as people that cut over at the last second. Patriotic city lots of military and good people, one of the few cities in Colorado where you can be proud to be an American and there will be many others like you. Taxes are a little high but utilities are dirt cheap and they include all of them on one bill which is awesome. Homeless are on most street corners downtown which is appalling because most are young working age with super low unemployment at just above 3% no excuse to be begging unless your a drug addict and lazy. Vehicle registration is very expensive if you have a newer car. If you buy a house try to buy north of town its a little more expensive but you will get less crime and a very nicely built home for your money with breathtaking views everywhere. If you are a vet or active duty tons of businesses give you a military discount which is nice. Were getting a lot of people from western California who left because of the high cost of living but unfortunately they are voting how they did there and taxes have been going up the past few years but other than that its a great place to live.
