Why I chose Colorado Springs over bigger cities

Random thought, I've been here for 1 years and Homes are going for about $420,700 on average. Median household income is $83,198, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $420,700, which is pretty steep. With a population of 483K, Colorado Springs is a mid-size city. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Four distinct seasons
- The community vibe scene is improving

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Happy to answer more specific questions..
