Leah has called Colorado Springs home since 2009, has spent more than twenty years in real estate, and shares everyday life in the Springs on Instagram at @leah_behr. These are her guides to choosing where to live: the neighborhoods, the schools, the drive to each base, and what a normal week actually looks like.
