yoder (Colorado Springs, Fountain: house, live in, price)

[rrob]

I am considering moving to the colorado springs area and would like to know if commuting from yoder to colorado springs is realistic? How far is it? I currently live in Hawaii and would like to get a home in the 175000 range with a few acres of land or possibly trade my home in Volcano Hi. for a Colorado Springs home. Also how is the areas medical care facilities? Thanks for your help
Aloha

Yoder is about 30 miles due east of Colorado Springs. The drive is not too bad most of the time, but can be almost impossible during winter storms. You will need to expect to be unable to get to the Springs a couple of times a month.

Yoder is a very small, rural community. There are no medical facilities out there that I am aware of. However, the medical facilities in Colorado Springs are quite good with 2 brand new hospitals.

The worst thing about Yoder and that area (aside from being isolated) is the constant breeze. It never lets up and is very annoying during the summer. You can't have a decent outdoor party there. Maybe in another 50 years when they get some more trees.

For your price range consider Security/Widefield. It's right between Colorado Springs and Fountain and you can get a pretty nice house for $175,000 right about now.
