Real stories from people who chose Pueblo

From business owners, young professionals and empty nesters, hear directly from those that chose Pueblo! 
"Pueblo really checked a lot of boxes on both the business side and on the personal side for access to the outdoors, cost of living and ability to purchase a home. So it was not merely a business decision, it was also a people decision."
- MATT REICHEL
Boreas Campters
“I chose Pueblo because it felt like home. My husband and I had moved for work several times over five years and ultimately were given the option to live anywhere in Southern Colorado. After visiting and doing some research, we chose Pueblo. It had a small-town feel with bigger city amenities. Since we both grew up in the mid-west, we appreciated that there are water and trees. There are so many family-friendly activities and the weather is fantastic! I am very happy that we chose Pueblo to become our home.”
- ASHLEIGH
Director of NeighborWorks of Southern Colorado
"As recent empty nesters we wanted to downsize and downshift, but we also have career experiences that we hoped to utilize in a city where positive growth was taking place. After visiting Pueblo, we were overwhelmed with the small-town feel, welcoming spirit of the people, and the quiet structural improvements occurring around this culturally diverse city." 
- KEITH & BARBARA 
Moved to Pueblo from Texas
