66m, single, looking for quiet small town life. Gonna be a renter, and I don’t need much. Studio or 1br is fine. MS seems to have some affordable options in the size I’m seeking, but when I browse online some of the places seem sketchy from the photos. I accept the notion that you get what you pay for, but are there some “unsafe” parts of town that should be avoided? I’m visiting Labor Day weekend so will be able to do some recon then.

I’m also keenly aware that summertime is tourist time and the town is packed. So there’s certainly a stretch where it’s anything but quiet. But I assume it’s still manageable for residents?

I was told that everyone in town knows each other and I have to be prepared for that. From your experience, is that true? I like to keep to myself but I'm still friendly with strangers

Several reports have come in that there was some masked ICE activity in Manitou Springs on Friday the 14th in the late morning. Per witnesses, there were only a couple agents accounted for, there were no arrests or questioning, and the sightings were along Manitou Ave and Ruxton Ave. No word if there was assistance from MSPD or City Council. This is just an alert for awareness purposes only.

Hi everyone! My family and I are moving to Manitou this fall. We are so excited to be part of the community! What are some fun fall activities for adults and kids alike that we should be sure to soak up this first fall? We, of course, already have the coffin races on our list! But what else does Manitou and surrounding areas have to offer?

Hello everyone! I will be celebrating my anniversary with my girlfriend in Manitou Springs! We’d like to go to sun water spa and book one of their tubs so any references for what that experience might look like would be greatly appreciated! Apart from that if there’s anything you think we shouldn’t miss in Manitou or even Colorado Springs please let me know! Thank you!

Hey there, MSHS class of 1977 here, anybody else?
