The list goes on and on. Men’s Fitness Magazine found residents of real estate in Colorado Springs to be living in the “Fittest City in America” and Men’s Health Magazine chimed in with a “Best Cities for Dogs” award. Forbes agreed, calling The Springs “America’s Most Pet-Friendly City.”
The Springs continually hits the “Best” lists. Kiplinger’s heaped on the accolades. Beginning with Pikes Peak, the site of the inspiration “for purple mountain majesty” in the song, America the Beautiful, and on to unusual red rocks at the Garden of the Gods—our community is filled with inviting views and adventures. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Fine Arts Center, Cog Railway up Pikes Peak, Old Colorado City, lovely old neighborhoods, and exquisite new home developments provide an unmistakable character.
Our “creative class” nurture educational, scientific, and artistic subcultures. The Air Force Academy and military bases provide stability and interest. Rocky Mountain skiing is just an hour away. For a “smaller, second-tier city, The Springs offers an impressive amount of diversity of amenities,” quoting one of the researchers for Kiplinger.
