I am a native Coloradans here. Colorado Springs is the second largest city of the State of Colorado after Denver. Population here around 500K now. Colorado Springs has changed a lot now. More crimes everywhere, more shootings, more homeless people everywhere and many more. Colorado Springs is a military town and different kinds people came here from different States mostly from California and Texas and when you mixed them together, they do not get along. Lots of gangs here now. I still missed the old Colorado Springs in the 70s where it's nice and peaceful. Good luck to you all if you ever decide to move here. It's still a beautiful city for me.

Moving here from Tampa Florida this year. Weather is horrible here. We visited Denver suburbs and then visited Colorado Springs. It’s a little more our speed given we’re conservative. I’ll be very proud and thankful to live in the springs!

Yup, this is a military town, supporting the USAFA just up the road. Had to hit some older maps to determine that, indeed, Nevada Avenue is the old US 85-87 (and, at one time, Business I-25). US 24 took Cimarron Rd. to Nevada, then north to Platte and out of town (that has been rerouted several times over the years; Colorado was Business 24 ). The mountains are right on the west side of town.

Moving from Tampa, FL to the Springs soon in 2025.

I'm so excited because there aren't 50, 000 cars all waiting in traffic bumper to bumper. If this were Tampa you would have had a pick up truck with bright LED lights tailgating you the entire time even if you're in the passing lane.

Lived here for years but it has changed for the worse especially since the pandemic nothing has been the same, drugs all over the place, I work on tejon street and my car has been broken into 3 times within a couple years. You should have cruised the west side, nice scenery and authentic old Colorado vibes.

I see what you’re taking about Mileage Mike. Not small town or sleepy town feeling.

pretty city but suffers from the same problem all these post-war car dependent cities some limited central core area that might be bikeable (not even walkable)....the rest of the city is extremely spread out and overly car dependent.

I was a Teacher there. Id like to go back.
