I live less than 15 minutes from Fort Carson. The 'Springs is actually just under 500,000 people (hard to believe eh Karl?). There is lots to do here as everyone has chimed in, and I mean lots of year round out door activities, which to me is VERY appealing.
The winters are very mild and I drive my 911 and my old Datsuns all year round, the roads are mostly sanded not salted like the MN, NY, MI, PA etc etc, which is great for car guys. Cars in CO simply do NOT rust, the climate is known as arid so it is very dry and very gentle on our cars. You actually see tumble weed blowing across the roads all the time, which is a funny but true image..LOL!
I actually call Colorado Springs the desert in the sky.
Colorado Springs is really a bed room family type community, if you are used to the hustle, the bussle, and the social life of the big cities then this will be an adjustment, but as previously stated, Denver is about 60minutes away. And I LOVE Denver! Great city...period.
The Springs has lots of cool gear heads surprisingly and more 911 owners than you think, which is also ultra cool.
One thing that is important to me, is that I feel safe here and anywhere that you can go and feel safe, you can call that place "home".
I highly recommend the Springs. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Hope this helps.
My best - Yasin
