Pueblo has good housing in all areas except the east side (east of I-25). Prices vary but are certainly affordable, taxes moderate, residents are 50% Hispanic and friendly. Many great Mexican food eateries, and several Italian. My favorite Italian is a take-out only named Collette's, 1614 West Northern Avenue on the south end. Good prices and great food.

We used to live in Dallas, and don't miss the heat and humidity at all. Much sunshine here and we are building a solar add-on to our place to take advantage of it. Winters are generally milder than a bit north.

Mountain recreation except east, but some fair fishing in flatlands. I travel toward La Junta for fresh veggies (many farms with roadside vendors). Rocky Ford canteloupes OMG!

We receive a veterans/old age 50% property tax break after dwelling in the same home 10 years.

Here to stay!
