What Makes Colorado Springs A Great Place To Live?Thinking about a life framed by mountain views, easy trails, and a community that actually shows up for one another? We sit down with longtime local and top-producing realtor Lori Thompson to map out Colorado Springs in practical, human terms—where to live, how to live, and why it feels like home for so many. From Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Garden of the Gods to suburban hubs with parks, pools, and weekly concerts, Lori breaks down neighborhoods by lifestyle rather than hype, so you can match your daily rhythms to the right street.We explore how a strong military presence shapes both culture and the housing market—with genuine appreciation for service, frequent relocations that keep inventory moving, and civil service roles that make post-military life viable. Lori shares clear guidance on timing a move, navigating VA loans, and choosing areas near bases, schools, or nightlife. She also spotlights year-round perks: low humidity, quick-melting snow, and those famous Pikes Peak sunrises that make 300 days of sunshine feel like a personal invitation. Whether you’re a remote worker hunting for quiet views, a retiree seeking light winters, or a family that wants fields, splash pads, and music nights, the Springs offers frictionless access to what you love.Growth has been real—Powers Boulevard evolved from a dirt road to a six-lane artery lined with commerce—but the city’s soul remains grounded in outdoor access, friendly neighborhoods, and small joys like genuinely tasty tap water. You’ll hear concrete relocation tips, from choosing Black Forest for acreage and trees to picking downtown or the lower west side for energy and evenings out. And yes, there’s great golf. If you’re weighing a move, this conversation is your shortcut: a candid blueprint from a local who answers her phone and knows how to translate lifestyle into an address.
