The Most Desirable Place To Live In America Is Here In Colorado And We Couldn’t Agree More

If you already live in Colorado, you know that it is hands down the best place in the world to live. However, if you do not come from here, you may be terribly mistaken by thinking that YOUR home state is the best, which is when we rely on the press, statistics, photographic evidence, etc., to prove what is right. That being said, you can imagine how excited, yet unsurprised we were when U.S. News & World Report released their list of The 25 Most Desirable Places to Live in the U.S. in 2018, placing one Colorado town at the top of their ranks:

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Home to nearly 500,000 (plus views and attractions galore) is beautiful Colorado Springs, whose apt motto encourages its residents and visitors to "Live it up!"

Incorporated in 1886, Colorado Springs once housed some of the state's most important mining resources, including Pike's Peak gold ("Pike's Peak or Bust," anyone?) and Cheyenne Mountain coal, which resulted in a huge spike in the area's population.

While the ores are no more, the Springs continue to thrive, thanks to booming technology and defense (like the pictured Peterson Air Force Base) industries...

Another big sector of the Colorado Springs workforce is that of Christian organizations, including Focus on the Family, Association of Christian Schools International, and Compassion International.
...and ample historic and tourism attractions.

United States Olympic Training Center, Garden of the Gods, and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo? The gang is all here in the Springs!
As per U.S. News & World Report, "Colorado Springs residents have easy access to the mountains and can take advantage of both hiking in the foothills and skiing at well-known resort towns in the Rockies."

(As if being named the best of the best wasn't cool enough, Colorado Springs actually dethroned Honolulu for the top spot. #boom)
