If you have orders to Colorado, you are fortunate!
Colorado, specifically Colorado Springs, is a beautiful area offering residents a variety of activities. The natural scenery alone is enough to draw you to the area. Colorado Springs is on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, which creates a beautiful background for your hikes. But there’s more to the city than beautiful scenery; there’s also an incredible culture. The historical presence, the museums, Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods, the aspen trees, and places like the zoo all make Colorado Springs a special place to be.
But it’s not the scenery that pulls service members to Colorado Springs; it’s the many military installations located in the area. The United States Air Force Academy, Peterson AFB, and Fort Carson are all located within just 30 miles of each other.
This week, we're featuring homes for rent by owner. Check out these 3 MilitaryByOwner Colorado Springs listings!
