Since it's such a beautiful city, cost of living is already very high especially housing. Median is $440, 500 and average rent is $2, 230 (for a 1 bedroom you're looking at around $1300 depending on the area), and is continuing to increase. People underestimate this when they move here and end up struggling.

The prices are stupid out there now! It's making it very difficult to move back.

Im originally from Colorado Springs. I live in Louisiana now. Been here since i was 14. I am looking to move back. Thank you for the information. By the way i also was in the navy. Thank shipmate.

When In&Out made it to CO SPGS, I knew it was fully Californicated. It was over. A boring bedside community when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s with cheap real estate and lots of outdoors-y activities, now an unaffordable suburb of Mini-LA (Denver).

Thank you . I appreciate you putting this together. Really a beautiful place to live! 😀

Educate yourself on the Space Force before making rude remarks!! Proud space force wife here👏🏼

AMy husband and I are planning on moving to Colorado Springs in 2025 from Tampa, FL.

I go on reddit and everyone is like, "Don't move here, it's so expensive! Colorado is like most expensive place ever

Like, bruh. You think y'all got it bad??? Come to Tampa, FL and enter into gates of hell.

The wages are worse in Tampa & the job market is absolutely cut throat, it takes 45 minutes to drive 8 miles with drivers straight out of mad-max, you are elbow to elbow with assh*les wherever you go, all companies are looking to scam you, and you can actually buy a good amount of land in Colorado for the same price as a cookie cutter home with a teensy backyard & an HOA here in Tampa.

Also, at least your taxes goes towards public use facilities. Here in Florida your money goes right into the pockets of the insurance companies. Every cent you save in State Tax here in FL you'll for sure spend on insurance. And now our schools suck due to all of the budget cuts and you'll end up paying out the butt for private school.

So, sorry for being another transplant in Colorado Look at where I came from and tell me that you don't understand my pain.

Florida is a hellscape and it's not more affordable than Colorado. 😂

Also, Colorado is much prettier than Florida. All we got are dirt hills and packed beaches.

Thanks for your vid. As a citizen in Co.Spgs., Love ❤️ love love your photography! Some dynamic areal shots here! Cost of living is high, but it's worth it. Anybody from the big cities, please don't worry about moving to ANY neighborhood here. You do want to purchase an automobile bc the public transit system is pretty lousy.

Recently visited and it’s truly an amazing city!

[philipshelton]

Appreciate the Navy theme! Thanks for putting this together. COS is on my list of places I am considering retiring.

[baileyspang]

the springs is actually cooler in the summer due to pikes peak creating its own climate .

We moved here from FT Wainwright, AK in 2012 as I was approaching retirement. Retired in 2018 and from 2012 to now 2024 the area has exploded with housing and tax increases. The best thing I can say about it is, if you’ve never experienced aggressive drivers or been in a car accident or shot at while driving you’ll have your chance. This wasn’t an issue a few short years ago but it’s as though Colorado Springs is a haven for homeless, aggressiveness, carelessness, and a complete disregard for anyone but themselves. Let’s not forget the United States Army’s 4th Infantry Division.

You didnt mention fort Carson. Army has a lot of people living in town.

[anabeldleo]

How's the school systems? We are looking where in Colorado to move due to my husband's job.

[aldairsworld]

Is there any more natural disasters? Any flooding? I want to move from Houston here it’s full of flooding and power outages and hurricanes and tornadoes 😢 & why are property taxes so cheap? Here in Texas it’s really expensive.

How bad is the hail? I care about my vehicle, current and future. I would be horrified if it got dinged up by hail. There are a lot of jobs for former military with secret clearances in Colorado Springs, but I very much doubt the bases have a lot of covered parking. A guy I knew lived there and said the hail happened several times a year and could get bad. How do you protect your vehicle?

[myobmyob]

Completely blanked out when I realized what your shirt read.
Where is the nearest VA hospitsl and how vet friendly is CO these days
Thanks

[johnnyrp]

I live in Colorado Springs! It was nice but it is getting scummy.

[brianaragon]

I have some questions! Where would you recommend for a young Barber professional to live in Colorado with wanting to be close to outdoor activities

[aintnolittlegirl]

I'm moving to COS in 6 weeks. I too giggle every time I hear Space Force. It's ridiculous!
