Both areas are great, but when it comes to "liberal" north-Denver towards Boulder is where you would want to be. there isn't much "cheap" housing in either area. Please be more specific, and I'm sure we can help you.

If you're looking for a liberal place, avoid Colorado Springs. That area is very conservative. I agree with the previous poster, you will likely find the northern and northwestern suburbs the best areas to live.

They're both great towns and both quite similar. It's sounds to me like you might enjoy an urban Denver neighborhood like Washington Park or East Denver/Cherry Creek.

They are safe--though not cheap. The Springs is cheaper than Denver--though not by much.

Schools are so/so. It's Denver Public Schools which are so large they go from really bad to decent.

E. Denver or Wash Park are both beautiful neighborhoods with stately homes--$300,000 average. You can also try the highlands neighborhood in NW Denver.

As the other poster mentioned, Boulder--if you can afford it--would be great for you. It's the most liberal part of what is otherwise a conservative state.

Colorado Springs is much more conservative than the city and county of Denver. But once you leave Denver city limits into the vast expanse of suburbs--you're into very conservative territory. In other words, you're in a red state. Most people lean to the right and are mostly religious--though there most certainly are pockets here and there of liberal areas like Boulder and some Denver neighborhoods. Even in the Springs there are some. But those are pockets--not the mainstream.

If you can afford it--I'd go with urban Denver and I think you'll be quite happy politically and otherwise.
