Almost impossible to afford a home here. $2,200/mo for a 2 bedroom rental apartment. Especially if you are a woman alone. Cost of living is off the chart. I just paid $15 for a rotisserie chicken and $16.50 for 2 packs of organic blueberries!

BS NOTHING BUT BS

Hi iris nope am coming 😊 didn’t change anything thank you 🙏

My parents just moved to Colorado Springs last year. I'm thinking about eventually relocating as well, and I'm a DJ so Denver only being an hour+ north is a huge benefit. I'm in Tacoma, WA and Tac + Seattle are wild. I can tell you right off the bat, both our homelessness and crime issues definitely are like, 100x worse 🤣 so this video helped put things into perspective more. Thanks girl!

The people of Colorado need to be more active in politics and stop letting the rich and powerful push thrm around and price them out of their homes

Been living here since July and absolutely love it here! Cost of living is low, healthcare is way better than where I lived, so much stuff to do from garden of the gods to pikes peak and so much more within a short drive!

Nice message. However, you missed 95% of Boulder. You toured the campus and the hill (also campus) and did not feature any of the attractive neighborhoods and retail in north, south, east and west Boulder. This appeared to be footage from a CU Recruitment video. Awkwardly ending with, "and finally" the U. of Colorado is a great place . . . that is literally all you showed.

Colorado is no longer a nice place to live, denver is overcrowded and expensive. Colorado Springs has also become overcrowded and homes are overpriced for what you get. Avoid it here im leaving CO ive had enough.

El Paso is nothing compared to Park County as it relates to wind and cold. I've seen 60mpg gales at -40⁰F, dont get caught outside in that for long.

I live in the Springs, and I've lived in Longmont, Hartsel (South Park), and now in Colo Spgs. Love the snow and the cold, but it is dangerous for the unprepared.

Pros: 1) Weather 2) Recreational options 3) Job opportunities Cons: 1) Traffic/congestion 2) Crime 3) Homelessness

Still the highest teenager suicide rate in USA?

Love Colorado! I live in Texas & it’s hot 🥵 here. Right now it doesn’t even feel like it’s December. I’ve been to Colorado Springs it’s nice & I did see homelessness. Nothing new since here in Houston- lots of homeless & scammers too.

It’s a super nice neighborhood with a lot of shopping and dining and close to Colorado Springs!

****A homeless person has money to pay for a ticket? Common sense is not used here.

I would have to agree with @MichaelOrtega3461 we have to collapse the system. Over the last two years I’ve been working heavily up in Florissant and divide Colorado. I begin to notice a year ago 2023 many of the roadside homes that were for sale and homes that were in the developments that we would be working in had for sale signs in them up, up to a year And I’m not for sure if these properties still aren’t sitting. I haven’t been up there in a few months I think many buyers are sitting on the sideline, anticipating the low cost inventory that has been predicted to happen. However, the buying options will only be available to a few. I also noticed Houses sitting much longer in Colorado Springs when I go out and do estimates. It’s pretty hard out here right now for most blue collar workers so if there’s going to be a soft recession, it would be much more welcomed Now, because we’re definitely having a hard pull back at the moment.

Forest Lake, never even heard of the town. I been to many remote areas in Colorado Remodeling and setting Tile. Been here 33 years and every time I get an estimate beyond Colorado Springs I discover hidden gems 💎. Pike National Forest development is awesome 🤩 especially when the Aspen trees change in the Fall Season.

I appreciate someone sharing the things most people don't talk about. Im looking to move there, have only been there once and the homelessness was definitely evident.

I'm 47 and a native here. I agree with this. Working for the utilities company here, I talk to residents from all over and Colorado Springs still is pretty competitive in terms of cost of living and definitely cheaper Utilities. Yes the crime rate has went up, homeless population and our weather can be unpredictable but we don't have as many disasters as other parts of the world. The most we get here is a blizzard, occasional hail storms causing damage and fire since we are dry and it can be windy at times. We don't get a lot of tornadoes that touch down or flooding that causes major damage. It's not scorching hot in the summer we will get to 100 but we don't have the humidity. The winters can seem long and exhausting but the great thing is our sun comes out and melts our snow so it doesn't hang around to become dirty snow for months upon months lennar winter days can still be warm. The last thing I will say is that our mountains are beautiful so make a list of your pros and cons. I've been other places and really enjoyed it but Colorado Springs is my home 🏠❤

Homelessness/vagrancy is a huge issue all over Colorado. Denver decided to become a "sanctuary city" and it has trickled all over Colorado. Colorado is not just Denver. Total disaster.

Hello Iris I stumbled upon your channel I do appreciate your work especially coming from a Real Estate Agent. I’m a local Colorado Springs independent contractor that specializes in Tile and Grout services i.e. Regrout, Tile repairs, Tile/Grout Stone cleaning and sealing for “Turn Key” services. We also do bathroom and kitchen remodeling. Is it possible to become part of your preferred vendors list..?

Buying a house from another state can be difficult. Visit coloradohomebuyerassist for a tailored solution 😌

Been here almost 10 years now. Looking to move though next year potentially. Lots of factors like the cost of living but especially the housing market blowing up here is insane. I'd rather go some place warmer where my money can go farther. For what I paid for my house I could get something really nice, modern, already renovated somewhere else on a shorter term loan and still have profit left over.

all cities change, Oklahoma City isnt anything now like it was 20 years ago, and not necessarily in a good way Just life.....thats why I live in the middle of nowhere......about 40 miles southwest of the Springs.

Awesome video and great points.

Aw you guys got snow yay and wow sound scary 😮 driving thank you guys for video 🙏

Also, the city doesn't provide trash service to the residents. There are multiple trash companies in town, and if you get a house you have to hire a trash service company. This means that there are trash trucks everywhere on any given day. Random houses with trash cans on the curb waiting to be picked up is a common sight on every street. And it's normal to have only 15-20% humidity all week.

Homelessness should not be a crime.

I lived in Colorado springs from 1978 to 2009 still go back because of family, but to me what killed Colorado springs was the legalization of marijuana, it opened the floodgates the whole group of new people and then explosion of the economy forced a lot more people out of homes and work, why I moved out in 09 in the fact that the town overgrow itself and resources don't help, I know schriever Air Force Base the Air academy in fort Carson or a big impact but the fact that the cost of living and the legalization of marijuana pretty much killed Colorado springs you can't even breathe half the time without homeless people bugging you or going to Manitou springs to enjoy a day is this crazy out there and the crime is worse than it ever was, but it's still a very beautiful place lots of things to see and do

I’ve lived in Colorado Springs since 1971 so how do you think I feel about the changes

Now that the election is over could you make the same video?

Lived in Springs shortly; no comparison as far as bad weather springs is mild….we get damp snow filled winters and humid summers here in upstate NY.

LISTEN UP! If you have been here less than 15 years pack up and go back !!! Please 🙏

Omg the winters are nothing! I moved here from Alaska and Colorado Springs Winters are short and not that cold, not a lot of snow.

the vagrants are everywhere on the South side….deal with this issue.

Much of the commentary was about the colder temps in the winter and the cost of living. I lived in the Springs for a year. The main ick factor was its creepy, dark oppressive vibe. Moved to Boulder soon after.

It ain’t lined with trees and there is no fresh, cool, pond/lake in every neighborhood

It sounds like you don’t want people moving to Springs ❤

For some reason I don’t care for Colorado Springs and Denver. Just curious what your reasons are. I like Pueblo and Southern Colorado.

Yeah people in Denver keep telling me that Colorado Springs is getting hood and ghetto now

The market is currently not a buyers market or sellers market. We were able to get our house under contract with multiple offers in less than 30 days, but we cannot find a house to buy. We are trying to buy a $1 million home and the inventory is non-existent. It’s a very odd market.

Quality of life? Bwahahahaha Bwahahahaha COS now six.

In short words we have bipolar weather so have an emergency survival kit in your car.

The FED does not control long term rates. They only affect short term money liquidity.

Man... I wish I knew all this before I was born. Such a goofy mistake.

Old Colorado city has been designated the new homeless shelter area thanks to the new stadium and fancy apartments. Killing the neighborhood. Shopping at uintah gardens is scary these days
