Colorado Springs, CO
Lasted 3 1/2 years. -
9/1/2020I was an avid midwestern runner. I decided to move to Colorado and hit the mountains and trails. I first lived in Lakewood. My apartment was 1350 a month. Plus utilities. 695 sq foot. I had double the size for 400 a month in my home state. At first I didn’t care I was in awe. I decided to move to Colorado Springs. I rented a room for 600 bucks. I didn’t want to pay 1350. I stayed away from bad areas. I loved the incline, Pikes Peak. I wasn’t fond of the drug scene and homeless lurking. Village 7 turned out to be a bad spot. Murders, rapes and break ins. I moved towards Black Forest paid 800 for a room. Having roommates was wearing on me but it’s so unaffordable to rent apartment I found that out. I saw a car jacking, I saw high speed chase on Austin Bluffs I almost got hit. I saw two different people die from overdose in Manitou memorial park. Groceries sky high. Beer and wine unaffordable. Gas and car insurance high. Extensive hail damage. I lost my awe for Colorado Springs. I realized I needed to leave to have an easier life. I strongly recommend you do your research before moving to Colorado Springs. The ones doing the best are retired DV plates who also have government jobs. They live in the nice homes and have three incomes.
