Crowley

As of the last census there are only 177 people living in the small town of Crowley, which lies just under an hour east of Pueblo. The most common industry is retail, which most of the people working in this field have to commute to do. The median household income is $19,256 with almost 32% of the residents living below the poverty level. On a good note, you can purchase a cute little single family detached home here for around $39,237. The town looks like it did years ago and the houses all have nice yards and the churches are all within walking distance. Although it's a bit remote, La Junta is just over a 1/2 hour away and there are more options for shopping and dining there, although for better options Pueblo is the place to go.

Although there isn't much to Crowley, there are some nice reservoirs nearby and I could see this being a neat little town for someone who wants to get away from it all and live on the cheap. It's close enough to shopping and dining that it doesn't take hours to do a trip, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of city life. In town there is the Crowley County Heritage Center which is on the National Register of Historic Places. This used to be the old schoolhouse and it is a pretty neat old two story brick building.
