TOP 12 Most AFFORDABLE Cities in COLORADO

Tourism isn't the main industry in Cañon City, prisons are. You should be truthful with people about job opportunities. Cañon City has 12 prisons, that's the main industry here. And it only takes about 45 minutes to get to the springs, and Pueblos only about 35 minutes away. Take it from someone who's actually lived here for six years. It's also only an hour and a half to Monarch ski resort, and only three hours to Wolf Creek Pass, about an hour and a half from the great Sandune's, and has world-class mountain biking, fishing, and kayaking. You might also want to let people know that once they get out of Denver and Vail and Breckenridge and Boulder and Fort Collins or anywhere considered "affluent" and start heading into the more rural areas of Colorado, it's very much a "Christian White Nationalist" kind of vibe. So if "let's go Brandon" and "F&$k Biden" flags are your jam, this could very well be the spot you've been looking for.

The trick is to find an inexpensive place to live that doesn’t suck. Sure, it is dirt cheap to live in the middle of nowhere - but then you’re in the middle of nowhere. I’m going for Colorado Springs - seems like a nice balance between city and cost of living - and great views.

Leaving New York (next year) and am seriously considering Colorado. Thanks for the informative video! Subscribed!!

Very helpful video

Good public schools in Greeley? School district 6 lost it's accreditation a few years ago. That has NEVER happened anywhere else! They got their accreditation back by absorbing University Schools, a great private school into their district. That brought the averages up enough. They didn't fix anything.

Any place east of the front range is not Colorado- it’s Kansas (read boring).

Good video, but I think it could be better if you put images of de cities, that you're taking 😉

need a Ranch, 1-2 acre place on the outskirt of town.. Very few pine trees, elevation between 5-5,700ft.....no strict building permits, lakes nearby would be great...

Pretty much anything in the San Luis Valley is dirt cheap to live. Alamosa is probably the most expensive.

I wish you used images with this bc now I have to go and look it up myself lol

What would you say the average person does for work in CO? CO is on the list of states I may move to in the next year or two but out of all the states I’ve looked at CO makes the least sense. It’s a fairly expensive state (even for some of the dumpy looking apartments), but when I look online for jobs there’s not much going on aside from retail/fast food and some specialized jobs. How do folks make it happen in CO? Is everyone in tech or an influencer working from home?

Thanks for talking about crime stats...most real estate agents/brokers don't want to talk about those "quality of life" issues people ALSO need to know about before moving there, be they renters OR buyers. Of course, there are other such issues such as demographics, politics/voting preferences (Dem/Rep ratio), etc., but like crime stats those can be researched online. I agree Pueblo has a bad rap (like Aurora does) but I've heard it's slowly moving in the conservative direction, which I find surprising -- it's been liberal/Democrat for years, same as Denver and (flaming) liberal Boulder. Whatever, Colorado Springs is for me...as soon as home prices and the mortgage interest rate come down where I want them. The Good News presently in the Springs is I've seen a consistent price reductions form homes in my preferred Zip Codes there, AND, it seems Builders are cranking-out new homes/subdivisions. As well, new Class A "luxury" apt complexes are being built (or have been since I left late 2022) and RENTS have come down quite a bit from back then, too. That's Good News for me as I'd be a renter first while looking to buy. -- BR

or Springfield they have a Family Dollar and a gas station!

No photos :(

I wanted to like this video but considering your a YouTuber you got to put little images of each area with some words in the video . Info is there but it’s like going to a restaurant with no menu or pictures

Is Greeley really considered rural? I'd never consider a city with a 100,000 population to be rural.

Looking to relocate to a affordable place but clean and nice neighborhood and safe to live

Colorado Springs seems to be the winner in my research. It is not that far from Denver and it seems to be a nice balance.

The information was good and helpful, but the background music is horribly distracting. There are tons of free music sources, if you insist on having any, but the more "lively" the more distracting. I'm only posting this because you said it didn't seem to be bothering most people. Most people won't bother to tell you, they'll just move on to another channel. I personally won't watch another if the music is at that same volume. Pro-tip - try watching at 1.25% or 1.5% speed. If it sounds unfavorable when slightly sped up, it's going to bother plenty of people at normal speed.

the conflicting sound track doesn’t help. Just talk
