Moving to Colorado Springs

In July 2006, Money Magazine ranked Colorado Springs the best place to live in the big city category. Whether you are relocating to Colorado Springs with the military, transferring with your company, moving your small business, retiring or just looking for a new home with views of Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountains, we think you'll agree; it doesn't get any better than this.

Lee Bolin, Saddletree Home's founder and president, moved to Colorado Springs for many of the same reasons you may be considering: beautiful scenery, fresh air, friendly neighbors and a bustling economy.

Colorado Springs is the second largest city in Colorado and is located just 63 miles south of the state's capital, Denver. A Saddletree Home in norther Colorado Springs or Monument makes for an easy commute to Douglas County, South Denver and the Denver Tech Center.
