Thanks! We're only renting this one. But so far, Colorado Springs is heading the top of the list of potential places to retire to. Have yet to experience a winter here, though...already cold all the time and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! I'll let y'all know in the spring if Colo Sprgs is still at the top of the list.
If so, I DO intend to find a house with a view of both the plains and the mountains! It's the best of all worlds!
