im 19 been living in south florida my whole life and hate it. been dreaming about moving to colorado for as long as i can remember. hope it comes true!

Born and raised in Colorado and I can’t imagine moving anywhere else I absolutely love it here

Colorado native here, along with my wife and kids. Miss the old days when there weren't as many people, traffic, and crime. It's gotten out of control here in Denver. BUT, I do love my beautiful state, and love sharing it with new people who love and respect it as well. It's easy to throw on a pack and walk into the backcountry to get away from people when I need a break.

Moved to the Great State of Colorado 15 years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

My wife and I have been living on on small farm in the Lower Blanco Valley on the Blanco River on the western Slope since 2012. We have 16 or so acres, and a grow dome and an irrigation system and we raise hay. She sells produce at the farmer's market in the summer and I play guitar in the local bars and restaurants. It's Paradise! Paradise.

Grew up in Colorado. Sure miss home. Currently in Utah, getting closer after 25+ years in Washington state. Liking the western slope as there are less people there. Colorado is truly Gods country in beauty. ❤

I love how when I read through the comments everybody's excited that has been there or wants to move there or move back there just makes me want to get there even faster

I moved here 8 years ago. I wish I had come sooner. Its been fantastic. And your list is right on.

I lived there when I was young and it's been calling my name ever since. Now that I'm grown and have kids I'm moving there next year. Already started the planning!💚💚! I can't wait !

My husband and I visited Colorado a few years ago and absolutely fell in love. We are originally from NJ and NY and live in North Carolina now. We are planning our move to Colorado Springs in September. This video really inspires us. We also have a greyhound so we loved the pet section. Please wish us luck! Thank you for sharing the love of your home with us viewers.

I was raised in Las Vegas. Moved to Colorado for college. Had to come back after 2 years due to covid. Have been longing to move back to Colorado ever since. It’s the happiest I’ve ever been in my life and the people are so kind and cool! I finallr made friends when I moved to CO and I made a LOT of them so easily after a lifetime of thinking nobody likes me and that I was weird. People are just shallow in Vegas. I hate it here. I’m working to move back! I’m about a year I’ll be ready :) I’m going in a work trip to Aspen in 2 days and I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of that! Till we meet again, Colorado ❤️

I moved to the Lafayette area, it’s relatively affordable, close to boulder/flatirons, far away enough from the city to feel more insulated yet close enough to utilize any big stores we might need. Despite the summer heat, it’s still much more pleasant than southeast Texas. I like the crisp air, the views of the flatirons put my window, and have gone on plenty of hikes

Really enjoyed your video. One thing you might mention is how educated the people are. Makes a difference ;)

Great video! I'm from Canada, currently live about an hour outside of LA, and I'm looking to change things up a bit. I visited Denver and Boulder last fall and absolutely loved my time there. Hoping to go back this summer to check out Colorado Springs.

That’s so true about the housing market. Wait a day and it’s gone. We bought our house site unseen as well.

Moved here nearly 50 yrs ago from WPB Fla...smartest thing I ever did.This is a great video.Good job.A hidden gem :we have world class golf all over the state.

Great video! I've been to Colorado about 8 times over the past few years, and I think you have described life there perfectly. I'm moving there in about a month, and this video makes me more excited to be there!

If you're thinking of moving here, understand this. ITS FREAKING WINDY! Colorado Springs, 300 days of sunshine. 355 days of wind.

I grew up and lived in Colorado Springs for 14 years . Currently in CA .. and have some goals to move back. I Sure miss Colorado alot

I moved to Colorado 45 yrs ago best decision of my life. Getting crowded but . . .

If you enjoy snow and cold winters you will enjoy Colorado.

I'm actually from Romania. Married my husband from California in 2017, and we've been living here since. I never really liked California, maybe because growing up we had all 4 seasons, not just one 😂. For a little while now, Colorado's been on my mind... This coming December, i want to visit Georgetown, CO... I heard it's very christmasy....side note: I LOVE CHRISTMAS ❤ If you know of a great Christmasy town, please let me know 😊. Thank you for the video 😁

I used to live in Colorado Springs back in the 1960s. I remember it and want to visit and maybe move back. I live in Florida and hate the weather in the summer.

I miss living in Colorado so much. I currently live in Louisiana, I grew up out here and originally moved to Colorado permanently before marijuana became legal and the big boom of transplants. I had to move back to Louisiana after living in Colorado for 4 years in order to help my parents. I had planned to move back in 2020 but Covid happened and unfortunately drained my savings. Now I am more than ready to move back. I lived in Colorado Springs but am debating on going back to the Springs ir elsewhere. I just need really good schools for my daughter.

I've wanted to move to Colorado ever since I was a kid since I'm a mountain junkie. But now, as an adult, I suffer from Crohn's disease, and honestly, Colorado sounds like a wonderful place to get my health in order where I can live a clean life with my family. See you someday soon, Colorado!

Thank you, this was so helpful

I just recently moved here in Colo Springs. Unfortunately, I've been very sick since moving here (1 month ago). I've never had a worse head cold/ sinusitis and nose bleeds since being here. This has become a great challenge, and I pray this condition leaves once fall arrives. I never thought I'd have such a challenge of adjusting. Still, it's gorgeous here, I do love the fact that it's not humid here, however, those dry desert hot winds are actually adding to the problem. Dry, sore throat,bleeding dry sinuses,and dehydration are no laughing matter. The extremes of cool desert nights, and hot winds are forcing me to stay indoors. I was told that due to the unusually high amount of rainfall this year, the pollens of this area are sending scores of people to the doctor with allergies and sinusitis. I'll see what the next 3 seasons will bring. The changes my body is experiencing are very real and not for the faint of heart.

As someone who has lived here my entire 28 years of living, I love the state. Especially downtown Denver, it has a lot to offer and Blackhawk in the mountains. However I will say that traffic is a major problem and rent prices are out of control. If you choose to move to this beautiful state, do your research lol cheers!

I moved to the Denver metro in 2015. The front range is an amazing place to live, but you better have deep pockets with the cost of living here now.

love this state so much!

New sub…long time CO resident…you covered a lot & with beautiful visuals! I grew up in KS. Learned to ski @ age 16 while visiting family here. That did it for me! My extended family was instrumental in the early sixties & seventies building parts of a “little” town called Breckinridge. At that time there was one stop light, Peak Eight, & the Goldpan Saloon. 😅 The Eisenhower Tunnel was a work in progress. The pack burrow races over Hoosier Pass was a thing! Yep, seen lots of change. I was most surprised finding Peaks 6, 7, 9 & 10 had been added to that ten mile range! Our last property was in Peak Seven West. Circumstances took us out of the mountains but not out of CO. Ft Collins is now home. The advantages living here still far out weigh any disadvantages. I look forward to your other CO videos…Thanks! 🌼

I’ve been in the Springs for 8 years. You move here because you want to be on vacation, without actually having to leave the state. Day trips are your friend.😊

Looking into Colorado, haven't made a choice yet, I'm from South Carolina and my boyfriend is from Colorado. I've been trying to get him to move to SC because it's cheaper, little snow, low homeless people on every corner (looking at Denver and Aurora) and I've already have a home, he still lives with family. However because I love him, I'm on here giving it a lot of thought. Pros I do like that weed is legal there though, low humidity, minimum mosquitos (at least when I visited), better roads and I personally thought tap water tasted better there. It's a hard choice for us.

Planning a move to Colorado Springs next spring from Orlando, FL. While growing up in Nebraska, Colorado was always my favorite vacation destination. Love your videos and they get me so excited to become a Colorado resident.

In a few weeks that gonna be my next place after last living in Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona 😎

I want to move out of Texas bc of the hot summers but the thing keeping me here is my family

This video is perfect on explaining colorado. I moved to Texas 2 year ago and I regret leaving colorado springs. Hoping to go back asap.

Coming from LA, can’t wait!

I love this state 😮

We are moving here soon, thank you so much for so much wonderful information!

Been livin In Sc for the past 4 years, I’m in need of some snow and a change of people 🤣🤣 recently applied to some jobs, just too see what responses I would get. 3 out of 4 responded within days. One of them wants me to come up there within the next couple weeks!! Only concern I’m having is relocating. I probably won’t be able to get a place right away, but I figured as long as I can get out there, I can make it happen when I get there. One thing I’ve learned being from Philly, is to always trust the process 💪🏾lol. Any suggestions on rooms or maybe any jobs that help with relocating?

Originally from Long Island NY, 30 min from NYC, lived in Queens and Brooklyn for a while and I’m so used to a busy chaotic and hectic way of life - very excited to live in a city that matches more what I like and my vibe! The only good part is that living right next to NYC all my life means that no prices, tax rates or rent prices seem all that high to me LOL. The only thing I’m worried about is that it may seem boring compared to what I’m used to, but I love the outdoors and peace and quiet and hate living in a busy city. Moving in the next few months - nervous but excited 🙂

Thank you for this video. The pictures are gorgeous. Part of my family wants to move to CO. Id like to visit first as moving is a major issue. Im glad you have lived there all your life and love it!

I been thinking about moving to Trinidad, CO.

Thinking about moving out to Colorado in the next few months from Kansas city! Definitely on top of my list with the Pacific Northwest! Thanks for the video 😊

Hope you're staying warm today!

I may move there next month. Wife got a big career opportunity. I have severe anxiety of mountains so I hope I can get used to it and stop.

I moved to Colorado Springs in July from Orlando. A few things I have noticed: 1. Cold weather. Honestly, not nearly as bad as I was thinking. I knew it would be cold but with the lack of humidity - it doesn't feel that bad as long as the wind isn't too bad. Even at -10F, not _that_ bad, honestly. 2. While the cold can be an issue, the real issue for me is the lack of humidity. Orlando had too much - Colorado has too little. This impacts skin health - so I use lip balm and lotion a lot. It also results in having static electricity issues, especially on carpeted floors. 3. It can be a bit windy here. Lack of trees means there is nothing to slow down winds coming off the mountains. It normally isn't too bad, but occasionally we can experience serious wind storms. 4. Fires. Even Florida had wildfires - but they are way more common in Colorado because of the dry climate. 5. Winter driving. If you are coming from a southern state, learning to drive in snow and ice is challenging. Thankfully, one of my vehicles is AWD - which has been great. 6. Colorado-born folks really resent you. Most are ok when I tell them I'm _not_ from California. But, honestly, the same thing was in Florida - folks would commonly tell me "we are full, go home." 7. Denver metro and to some extend Colorado Springs have growth issues, which results in bad traffic - even so, Florida was _way_ worse for more of the state. 8. Weekend ski traffic on I-70. Thankfully, since I live in the Springs, I take the back way most times. But, I also sometimes take paid leave to go skiing mid-week. 9. Fall colors are just one. They look amazing with the right backdrop but there is little diversity in the color. There are rare patches of anything but golden yellow. Still, I prefer the colors of the East. 10. Very little water recreation. Granted, even in Florida, I never dared swim in the lakes and even the springs were iffy. My kids didn't like the beach, so that was sorta wasted. 11. Road conditions. Yeah. Colorado roads aren't that good. The main roads/highways tend to be "ok" but surface streets can be problematic. I actually prefer it when the snow pack fills in the potholes. LOL 12. Housing. I don't know how folks do it. I make an exceptional income and I find the housing expensive here. We ended up building in Colorado Springs. Apartments weren't that hard to come by. There were plenty of options available - but we did secure one without seeing it first simply because we were in Orlando. It worked out, great unit with an excellent mountain view and pet friendly. No place is perfect. You always have trade-offs. I recommend anyone considering a move - rent for 6 months first before fully committing if you can. This was especially true in Florida - folks assume it is paradise because they come there on vacation. Florida is only paradise in the winter - but I'd rather be skiing.

Moving to Colorado Springs in a few months 🎉

Colorado is magnificent. If I had the money I would move there. ❤

Totally get it. I got a sunburn skiing in the winter even with sunscreen in winter.

I just purchased land in Colorado as I would like to move there in near future to escape rat race and live simpler and more outdoorsy lifestyle. Throughout the process of land buying I was met with slight hostility from Colorado folks ( probably due to the fact that I currently reside in one of the most hated states -California). I get it! But not all Californians are on a mission to destroy other states. I visited Colorado twice in the past and I absolutely love it. It's a beautiful state.

Heyyyy! I'm from Alabama and moving to Colorado is a dream of mine. Just so beautiful. 😍😍

I currently live in Alabama. I've never been to Colorado but have always wanted to live there. It kinda scares me because majority of all my family is here and being that far away from them is kinda scary. Then again, I used to live in Virginia and North Carolina so I got used to being away from them but I guess because Colorado is so far out west is probably why it scares me a little.

I am coming to Colorado Springs very soon, like a few months once my house sells her in the 505 Albuquerque looking forward to the wonders

Don’t forget the most important thing…. A lot of money!

Colorado is a great state. Politics are pretty neutral, it's blue but not far left (maybe Boulder a little). Crime is average unless you're around the shady areas of Denver. Yeah cost of living is going up but so is the rest of the country no escaping that. Winters do get cold but unlike the Midwest it's tolerable.

Grew up there, moved due to all the migration , high cost of living, and people have changed for the worst. Now only visit for vacations.

Selling in Cali and moving to the springs in a couple months. Looking forward to the better environment. Thanks for the vid!

Nice video, my wife and I are trying to move our way there from Arkansas!

is crazy im from philadelphia and i been in denver 32 times only to smoke love that place it became my second home not only because of the weed good people plus a lot of things to do see you soon denver

I’m a Floridian and am waiting for the chance to call CO my home. Hopefully my wish and plans will come true.

Lived there 82/83. Great time great place.

I like the low humidity, low property taxes and low car insurance (l'm from Michigan we have one of the highest car insurance) . If you own your house you probably can get by for pretty low income.

We are wanting to move out there basically for the outdoors. It’s so damn relaxing compared to boring ass Iowa. Smh

As a Coloradans I don’t see anything to do here anymore and wish I lived in Florida rather than here. I love tropical weather and I love the plants in Florida.

great and informative video, thank you.

Thanks for the video! 🎉

Living in Silverton currently but moving to Canon City in 2 days.

I recently moved from Ohio to Arizona and I’ve thought about moving to either Flagstaff, Arizona or Colorado when I’m financially stable enough

I've lived in Colorado for the past 8years now from Wisconsin.. it is truly majestic and yes, God's country. Our craft beers are some of the favorite parts of traveling and sampling. It is so very expensive though, you pay to play.. The housing needs to be better for the people who live there.. not just for tourist's.. Someone's gotta spin those lifts and wait your tables and clean up your hotel rooms. More lodging going up then actual housing.. it's a problem.

Moving here from north California, very excited but also nervous, i hope things work out and its the right decision. Im more so nervous about not having friends at first. Although making friends hasnt ever been a problem for me

Colorado native here-stop moving here!!!!! Housing is getting so expensive and it’s pricing out people who have lived here their entire lives!!! Also has totally changed the vibe of multiple cool Colorado towns because it’s overcrowded and crime has been insane.

The house part is funny. I've seen hundreds of houses be on sale for more than 50 days in CO, but I believe that's due to rising interest rates.

I might move to Colorado this year to work maintenance at a ski mountain. The housing situation is insane

I haven't watched the video yet but came across it while doing some research on how my dog might respond to the climate/altitude change.

NO VACANCY Stay where you're at!

🤔 about moving to Colorado . Saw this Video 📹 & thought 🤔 #SharingIsCaring!!! Figured as a Disabled Veteran I might finally find a good Doctor in dealing with Multiple Sclerosis. Guess I'll see...

The housing market has slowed down since this video was put out. You can still sale your house, but not at over the asking, anymore.

Can I keep my FWD car while living in the Denver area?

Movers just packed up my stuff. After 12 years around NY metro area I got a new job in Denver :] At least I've visited a couple times so I know I'll be happy with the cleaner air and nicer people

I like your video guys😎

Best neighborhood and good schools, any reccomendations greatly appreciated

Im stuck in houston and i really hate it. I want to be in a small country style town in Colorado but i dont know where to even begin looking for housing. I want open land, a mile from all neighbors, dont care if its on a gravel road or if its just land, ill build my home and stay out of a rv.

beind from colorado going back generations . its kind of sad to see so manny people changing what i love about my home town . but progress waits for no man i guess .......

I am a 68 yr old native of Colorado and it was a beautiful state until people started moving in and screwing it up. What gets me is people move into Colorado because they don’t like where there at but come here and push to make Colorado just like the place they left. We have more than enough people here so you can just stay away

We are planning on moving to Colorado Springs from Dallas in 2024. I grew up in Iowa and moved to Texas about a year ago. Texas was always my happy place and Colorado is my partners. At a young age we want to do more outdoors like kayaking, hiking, camping, and more. You videos are helping me feel more comfortable to move there.

How do Coloradans feel about outsiders moving in? My wife and I live in Tx and we want to get out asap. We are highly considering Colorado. I’m born and raised Texan but it doesn’t seem like Texas anymore. Most 100% Texans don’t want outsiders here. Just wondering how people feel there.

Went to Colorado for the first time last year. It's absolutely everything I'm missing in Massachusetts. I can't leave this state soon enough! (Because everything here is so expensive it's hard to save enough money to leave) 😭

Where do you recommend to move for a young couple (low/mid 20’s)? We both work but don’t make any crazy money but want to experience life In Colorado at least for a few years. Somewhere safe and beautiful of course haha!

@hashtag colorado life what city is pictured at 9:13 ? 😍

Where are the mountain towns?

Is Colorado expensive no doubt yes is it amazing yes can you ever get bored in Colorado no and if u do that’s ur fault but do be prepared u honestly need to make 80000 grand minimum between u and ur significant other to really survive and have fun

My boyfriend and I are planning to move to Denver in a few months from California. I visited over the summer and fell in love! I can't wait for this change and endure everything Colorado has to offer.

im graduating college soon and my family is dragging me to colorado springs after I get out of school so we can be closer together... I'm skeptical and more or less want to be a distance away from em. trying to find a nice town to live in would be nice

Hello! I'm 19 years old and want to move to a state where I can go with almost nothing but be able to make a place for myself for the long run. do you think colorado is good for me?

Moving to Colorado in 2 weeks 😊

Me & My family of 5 are coming March 2023. Originally from newport news va, I've been to FL, now in ga. I was wanting maui hawaii but I'm leaning more towards Colorado Springs. I'm a small business owner, I handmake sovenir teddy bears.

only 1 thing you need in Colorado is lots and lots of that hollywood money by the truck loads ...also you need a oversized truck that you use only to go to your desk job.

I’ve been looking to move over there very soon, I live in Arkansas and it’s SO DAMN HOT 🥵
