If you’re an agent in Colorado Springs and haven’t yet tapped into the area’s military/veteran market, you may be missing out! Many active-duty military families, veterans and retirees are moving to Colorado Springs, and for good reason.
The city is featured on numerous online lists of the top U.S. cities for military members and veterans, including ones from WalletHub, SpaceWise, Military.com and MilitarySpouse.com.
Here are a few reasons why they’re moving to Colorado Springs:
- It’s home to several military bases and facilities, including Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base and the United States Air Force Academy.
- The area boasts abundant recreation options. Active-duty military families and retirees alike can appreciate the natural beauty of Colorado Springs, and nearby attractions like Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and popular golf courses offer no shortage of outdoor activities.
- Besides VA loan benefits, military buyers can also take advantage of our current special offers. These savings opportunities, including special financing rates and others, can help make a new home even more affordable for your clients.
