I'd highly recommend checking out Wolf Ranch. People here are friendlier than I expected coming from {other}.. Plus the food options around there are excellent.

Moved here from San Diego and I'd say Cost of living is {col_feel} compared to where I came from.. The housing here is underrated compared to what I'm used to.

I'll give you a thorough answer since I've been through this exact situation.

I moved to Downtown from Cleveland about 9 years ago. Initially I loved it immediately. But after settling in, I feel like {city} is becoming more expensive without getting better..

A few things I'd recommend:
- Check out Downtown and Gold Hill Mesa for housing
- Join local Facebook/Reddit groups for your neighborhood
- Explore beyond the popular neighborhoods

The biggest adjustment was food scene. The airport connections are {adj} which matters if you travel.. Overall I'd give Colorado Springs a 9/10 for couples.
