Our Take
Colorado Springs offers decent schools and plenty of outdoor space, but the cost of living is high relative to median income and walkability is low, meaning you’ll need a car for most errands. The commute to Denver is long, so if you’re planning to work downtown it may be a stretch. If you value outdoor activities and can live with a car, it could work, but you’ll need to budget carefully.
