My wife and I are in our mid 40's and are interested in getting the heck out of this heat here in Central Texas and interested in the outskirts of Colorado Springs area. We are looking at 18-24 months before we move, but are starting our planning now. I have worked in the criminal justice field (Discovery Coordinator - County Attorney's Office past 3 yrs) for 17 yrs. and she works in a well-known Texas grocery chain here in TX - HEB as a cashier. I'm hoping by the time we get ready to look for jobs there times will be a little better finding a job. We are both in pretty good fields because you are always going to have crime and need groceries.
Anyone have an experience with this area? I have done a lot of research online, but first-hand experience would be better info. Are there any good apartments anyone would recommend in that area? We live in a 1/1 now with 825 sqft and pay 735/mo. that includes water, sewage, trash, pet rent. The town we live in is 30 miles north of Austin at has about 50k people. We would like have a smaller town like this (or smaller) that is closer to a big city like we are now.
Any help would be appreciated.
