Adrian Allen best-worst

You know you're from Colorado Springs when...

Can we talk about

Downtown has improved dramatically since I first moved here.

I saw that rent in Black Forest is now /mo which is expected. Home prices averaging is {home_feel}.

What I like:
- Affordable compared to coastal cities
- Strong local businesses
- Good healthcare options
- Strong arts and culture scene

What I don't:
- Traffic is getting worse
- Nightlife is lacking
- Property taxes
- Wind never stops

The airport connections are excellent which matters if you travel. I've never felt unsafe walking around Black Forest at night.

Renter's perspective: I think it's fair for the area. I'm in Old Colorado City and it's pretty good. Definitely shop around though.

I'd highly recommend checking out Wolf Ranch. The parks system here is underrated.. Plus the food options around there are pretty good.
