"A little community along the Arkansas River"
Avondale, Colorado lies just east of Pueblo by about 20 minutes. This small town has a lot of older, single family homes which still have chain link fences around them. Although it reminds me of the 70s, it's such a great way to still be able to see and talk with your neighbors, unlike the large wooden fences separating many of the newer homes today. They all seem to have good sized yards, perfect for children or a family pet.
The largest industry in Avondale is manufacturing, followed by retail trade. Many of the residents commute to Pueblo for their jobs since it is pretty close. The median household income in Avondale is $34,971 with almost 22% of the people living below the poverty rate. To purchase a median priced home here would cost about $77,680 although this figure includes mobile homes. The price for a single family detached house is more around $165,000.
The town's population is a good mix of both white and Hispanic, with Hispanics being a bit more common. Unfortunately for the children in this community the schools are below state standards.

"Avondale is just east of Pueblo along the Arkansas River"
Avondale is a small farming community of less than 1000 people just east of Pueblo along the Arkansas River and HW 50. The river and the surrounding farmland make this a really pretty place, though it gets really hot in the summer and can be pretty desolate and cold/windy in the winter. The flat open valley is greener than the surrounding area and the birds and animals thrive along the Arkansas Valley.
The average annual income for a household is about $30,000 and most people either commute to Pueblo or work in the farming and ranching jobs of the area. There are ranches for sale in the area as well as homes and trailors. You can get a standard ranch home in town for about $250,000 or a trailor for about $60,000. The town is less than an hour to Pueblo where most people shop and gear up.
