I've lived in "The Springs" for about 15 years and live it very much. The winters are generally mild and the summers can be hot but at least not humid. There is a buyers' market now in real estate so housing shouldn't be an issue. Pet-friendly rentals are relatively easy to find if that's a concern of yours. Job market is tighter than it has been in years past but also not so bad. We have a strong religious community and the city is family-friendly. There are tons of things to do depending on what you like. If you like party all night long and enjoy the night life the Springs isn't the place for you; everything closes at 6pm LOL. If you enjoy parks and trails this IS the place for you. There are several nature centers, manicured parks, trails and open spaces left to their own devices, and skiing/hiking/snowshoeing/cycling/swimming/you-name-it either in-town or close by. The live music scene isn't what it could be but if you look hard enough there are some decent local bands. I find people here to be friendly overall but you will get some good-natured ribbing over being a "transplant" for the first couple years especially if you're moving from Texas or California. Being a military town we get quite a few "transplants" and they tend to remark on how friendly/clean/safe the city is. Feel free to e-mail me if you need more specifics and Welcome to Colorado Springs!

Colorado Springs is a wonderful place to live, especially if you plan on raising a family there! My family lived there for three years before we moved because of my dad's job, but all of us loved it. As for my personal experiece there, most of the city seemed upper-middle class except for a few areas. There are tons of things to do in the city and in surrounding areas, (I would reccomend Garden of the Gods, visiting Pikes Peak, hiking the many trails, visiting Manitou Springs, etc.) of course some of them are kinda touristy. Also, they have a great school system, better than any i've seen elsewhere. I would highly recommend Colorado Springs to anyone interested in moving there. It's a beautiful, wonderful city and a great place to live! :)
