You are in charge of finding your dream home and my job is to help you decide where. 

You may think that living in Woodland Park is the ideal area, but you work in the Springs.  Have you considered what it will cost you to get to work and back again? 

Your mortgage may be less if you lived in Woodland Park but consider the cost of the commute and you may just find that you are spending more then your bargained for. 

You may even be able to buy more house if you lived closer to your work environment.   Your 'savings' could be huge.

I have installed this calculator so I can help you to help yourself by making an educated decision on just where you want to live and how practical it would be.

Buying a home that is farther away from work may have a lower mortgage payment, but you'd be surprised at how much more you'll spend by driving to work. Try comparing a house in-town to a less expensive house out-of-town & see the actual cost of commuting for yourself.
