We have the Air Force Academy, Ft. All three sites have medical facilities, commissaries, and exchanges. Carson is to the south of the city, and seems much quieter, with lovely facilities. USAA maintains a large office here. The bases offer segregated spouses clubs that are open to other services.
Housing is a bit expensive, but allowances are reasonable.
There is an abundance of care available, including Child Development Centers on the bases. Private schools, most religiously affiliated, abound here. The US Air Force Academy is located in Colorado Springs, on the northern end of town. Historic Manitou Springs, dotted with publicly accessible mineral springs, is just a few miles west of downtown, as one begins to wind up towards Pike's Peak. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, near the south end of town, has fascinating animal and educational displays.
