Neighbourhood
We live on a small, low-traffic street that is right off a busy street. We are on the edge of a walking friendly neighborhood. We walk our dogs daily by exiting the backyard into the alley and heading into the neighborhood. The neighborhood has several great routes with little traffic and good sidewalks, with lots of big beautiful trees. We are 0.94 miles from the entrance to Palmer Park, which is a large city park that has over 25 miles/40 kilometers of trails for hiking and mountain biking. It also has beautiful views of the city and two off-leash dog areas- a fenced-in area and an open, casual hiking areas where dogs can be off-leash. The mountain biking/hiking/trail running options are fantastic, ranging from beginner friendly to quite technical. There is also a small neighborhood park and playground, Audubon Park, walking distance from our home.
Getting to my home
We are about 20-25 minutes from the Colorado Springs airport, about 4.5 miles from downtown Colorado Springs, and about 75 minutes south of Denver International Airport. We're a few miles east of I-25 in central Colorado Springs.

I am a dad of three children, and my wife and I want our kids to see more of the world. We live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, and our current interest is to spend time in the province of Quebec in the summer of 2026. We enjoy being outside, good food, and building community and relationships wherever we go.
"We are looking to spend about a month in the province of Quebec in the summer of 2026. Dates are flexible! We are currently most interested in Quebec City, but we're open to other options. We'd like to be somewhere that is walking and biking friendly."
