I am moving to the Springs from Texas on 10/28/2012 and will be staying with family until I find a rent house. If anyone knows of a rental in a nice area that will accept my two lab/rotty mix dogs and our cat please let me know. Our animals are all snipped and are older. We are vary clean people and own a house in Texas were not trashy people who tear things up. I work for the phone company and my wife works for a vet hospital.

We are looking for something close to monument or manitou springs. Other areas would be considered. We are trying to keep our rent below $1,500

Thanks for any help. You can reach me here, email or phone.

I just saw this, so you've probably already found something, they're readily available around here. If you still need help, I'll see what I can scare up for you.

I have not found anything yet we are currently in a holding pattern waiting on our house in Texas to lease so we are not covering two mortagages. I would like to have some vette people close around though. Not to many where I am currently and it sucks. I will be staying in Monument for a while with family until we get everything worked out on our house. So I have to leave my car here until we get a house. That sucks becouse I have not even got it back from the paint shop from doing the 2" flared fenders. Lol I have to pick it up tomorrow then drop it off at the house here and leave for Corado. I don't even get to clean her up from the body shop. I have to be there on Monday to report to work.

Thanks for any help or just to meet up with other car people. I know it's not driving season there but it gives me something to look forward to.

I'll ask around and look around, will let you know if I run across something, though I don't know just what you're looking for (# bedrooms, baths, etc.).

I just got my vette a few days ago, so I'm not part of a group or anything. I usually see one vette a day driving around, more on nice weekends. Weather just turned cold and snowy here.

They salted/graveled the roads this morning so mine is put away for the winter.

I'd trade living in the Springs over Denver,where I'm living now anyday !!!! Plan on retiring there next year.

larryu

I have never lived there but have been there several times. My wife and I love it and are origanaly from Houston Texas which is one of the largest cities in the u s We don't want to live in a metro area anymore. I think we will love it. I worked in the north east for several years off and on and I'm tired of the Texas heat for a while. We need a change.

I really like the Springs. I live about 80 miles west though. "Nicer" areas that I think might fit your budget would be in N.E. Colorado Springs. The cross-streets I would look around would be off Powers.

Powers runs North and South:

I'd look around:
Barnes
Stetson Hills
Carefree
Quebec

I have friends that live in these areas and they're all very happy with that area of town.

The guy I know who had a house for sale in Monument sold it already, I'll see what else may pop up.

larryu

Thanks everybody we found a house in Stetson hills. I will be moving in on 11/19/2012

Check out RMCSC.com for some events and get to know some locals around the Springs area.

Haxzaw

I'm sure you meant http://www.rmcsc.org instead. Hope you don't mind the correction.

larryu

I will check out local websites and clubs as soon as we get settled in more. I have noticed there are a couple of clubs in the area. I should have my car here in two weeks. I just hope I get to drive it once or twice before the weather turns completely bad.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feed back

I'm planning on taking the wife out on a drive Monday. Supposed to be sunny with a high of 50, should be alright. I got caught out in the rain this morning at least now I know the wipers work.

larryu

Lol I didn't know vettes had wipers. I just thought they were like spare tires. MIA

Welcome to the Springs. I'm in Meridian Ranch which is close to you, I like it here. There is a Y .6 miles from my house in the community, golf course in the backyard. Over-sized 3 car garage and 3200 sq ft of living space for $1500, can't beat it. I wanted to rent as well being new to the area.
