The cost of living is a little bit higher than the national average with the vast majority of that being attributed to housing costs. Honesty, it’s so worth it to live in paradise!
Seemingly random weather for some can be annoying. When one day’s high is 75 degrees and the next is 45 degrees, or a hail storm suddenly blows through or 60 mph winds, the advice “carry a swimsuit in one pocket and a jacket in the other” makes perfect sense.
Winters, thought by many to be brutal, are actually fairly mild. Although consistently summer days only encompass 3-4 months and there are 7-8 months where snow could fall (November-May), mostly there are just three months of actual cold weather, and with skiing, snowshoeing, and other fun winter activities to enjoy, it really isn’t a negative at all!
The “natives” don’t like folks moving to Colorado. OK, sure there are some of those people a bit overly proud that they’ve lived in this great state all their life, and who can blame them; but for the most part, people here are friendly and welcoming. In fact, it’s getting pretty hard to find folks who didn’t relocate to Colorado themselves.
Legalized marijuana – both medically and recreationally, cannabis has made an impact in Colorado. There are still laws surrounding its use, so be sure to update yourself and don’t assume everyone here partakes.
