Colorado Springs vs. Ft. Collins | |
I am a Colorado native. I've lived in Ft. Collins and my folks lived in Colorado Springs at one time. Colorado Springs is beautiful next sits up next to mountains. It is clean. Because there is so much military it can be transient but there are established communities especially over 55. It is very conservative. Ft. Collins is also beautiful with a great little downtown mall. Parking nose into the sidewalk. Good restaurants lately. Empties out in the summer a great deal as students leave. Close to mountain access like Red Feather Lakes. Pretty drive. Ft. Collins has pockets of conservatives but mixed with academia and diversity. | |

the news i get back is the area north of downtown is nice. That includes Manitou Springs and old Colorado City. The area near the Broadmoor is reputably expensive and surrounded by some sketchy areas. | |
