Monument and Palmer Lake, also known as Tri-Lakes Area

Monument and Palmer Lake have a great small town feel, yet many amenities can be met. These towns can fit anyone's needs.

Upscale, average joe, sportsmen, athletes, families, art fans, and kids. If you haven't heard, Monument has the biggest small town 4th of July parade. Then Palmer Lake presents amazing fireworks that night. Of course, if you missed this, there are many things to see and do in the Tri-Lakes area.

Parks and playgrounds, Sante Fe Trail for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, fishing, many diverse and unusual restaurants and cafe's, art galleries galore, historic buildings and homes.

Every third Thursday, May thru July Monument has their Art Hop from 4-8 pm. And, every Wednesday thru August 8 Monument has concerts in Limbach Park from 7-9 pm.

I just started a new blog to let people know about the area, soon you will get to know and see the many different places and hot spots. You can check it out at :

One of the nice things about living in the Monument/Tri-Lakes area is having the ability to commute to jobs in both the Colorado Springs area and the Denver area. This is a big benefit. It's nice to sleep at night knowing there are lots of jobs within an easy 40 minute commute.

This area is definitely nice. I work in Monument myself, but I know many persons like yourself that like the relaxed feel of the Tri-Lakes area to live in, but work in the Springs or Denver.
