How do you define a city like Colorado Springs? Well, there are the obvious ones like it's the county seat, largest city and economy in the state, most important cultural center and so on. But that would be glossing over the finer points that make this city truly great. For instance, it was ranked by Women's Health as the '2nd Best Place to Live for Women' in the United States, Forbes ranked it as the nation's most pet-friendly city and by Money magazine as the number one in its list of America's 'Best Big Cities to Live In'.
Colorado Springs' economy is in great shape courtesy its high-tech industry and tourism sectors. The military too contributes significantly with a large number of jobs. Boeing, Harris Corporation, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are major defense related employers while Broadcom, Verizon and Hewlett-Packard employ large headcounts as well.
If you're a nature lover, head to Garden of the Gods. One look at its gorgeous sandstone rock formations with the snowy Pikes Peak Mountains in the backdrop and you realize this is truly the work of gods. Take a trip back into vintage aviation at the National Museum where immaculately restored aircraft from WW-II are displayed. The city is home to some of the finest golf courses with Broadmoor's achingly beautiful landscape deserving a round or two. Cap it all off by sampling some of the best brews in town at Bristol, followed by some great seafood at Carlos or a fine range of authentic Asian cuisine at Saigon Café.
Being the large city it is, Colorado Spring is served by a number of school districts. It also offers a large choice of colleges and universities like Colorado Technical University, Colorado College and University of the Rockies.
A strong housing market is another one of Colorado Springs' strengths and stems from a variety of good quality and amenity-rich homes made by some of our top builders like Campbell Homes, Classic Homes and Vantage Homes. Homes in the late 100s offer a wonderful proposition to those on a budget. Typically featuring two or three bedrooms, these homes encompass an area of roughly 1,300 sq. ft. At the mid-400s, you get homes with areas of 3,000 sq. ft. and three to four bedrooms.
