You will be close to a lot of cool locations, but Pueblo is somewhat of a dump. JMHO.
If you will have time to go to those cool places (+-2 hrs driving), and want to spend that time in the mountains, so it. |

Look outside Pueblo to live, I live in Rye/Colorado City area and love it. My office is in Pueblo West which is a great town but EXPENSIVE. It's awesome out here. Pueblo is nice also, just stay away from the East side :)

Think of Homestead FL with a view of the mountains.
That said, I would live in Pueblo before I would live in Homestead again. |

I live in Pueblo West and can tell you that its far better than anywhere inside the city of Pueblo.
Real Estate is relatively cheap but going up all over. Colorado City and Rye are awesome, but you're looking at a 20 minute commute to South Pueblo. There's not not a lot of services up there, too. Taxes are cheaper outside of Pueblo (7.4%) versus (3.9%) in PWest and Colorado City. Also, Parkview is a better hospital the St. Mary's, IMHO.... |

Parkview medical center is a decent facility, with a friendly staff who work well together. The city is a mixed bag, with a very left of center vibe from it's distant past as a focal point of labor unrest and ties to the steel and mining industries. There are areas that are tolerable, such as the area near the university, the far north side and Pueblo West (where the wind never stops...). Overall, the city is a sore spot in Colorado, with high crime and a large amount of the population who's highest goal is to ensconce themselves in any Government job they can get while being protected by a union.

I am biased so take it with a grain of salt. Pueblo isn't the nicest place. Between poverty and crime, drugs, etc. I hear Pueblo West is better. It really depends what kind of life you want.
It is fairly close to some amazing mountain areas for sure. You'd be 40-50 minutes from Colorado Springs which has just about anything you could desire- about an hour further puts you in Denver with 4 major sports teams. If you are really into nightlife, culture, etc, might think about moving to someplace further north. Colorado Springs is still somewhat affordable. Anything further north and it starts getting crazy expensive. Keep in mind, the road between COS and DEN right now is a shitshow, and will be for about 2 more years. |

I'd move to Pueblo West based on what you're saying. Cheap and it's a short enough drive to COS. Perfect. |

based upon the few times I've driven through, Pueblo grows 87% of their weed within 25 yards of I-25.

When the Orowheat Bakery Outlet reopens, buy your bread there. $1-$1.79 a loaf (exit 98B).

Pueblo is also much hotter than Colorado Springs; it is a dry heat but it's also about 2k feet lower than COS.
How close do you want to be from an airport? How often do you think you'd drive to Denver for events? Pueblo County Voted for Hillary El Paso county voted 66% for Donald J Trump |

They have Sam's Club
 but no Costco in Pueblo. There are two Lowe's and one Home Despot.
