1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Monument, CO

"Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home...." The summertime home of thousands of ladybugs sits atop Mt. Herman on Monument's west side. Along the way, you'll pass a towering granite outcropping known as Monument Rock, which gave the town its name.

"Pike's Peak or Bust!" was the motto of gold seekers flocking to the Colorado Springs area in the 1850s. Colorado Spring's rapid growth gave rise to a booming timber industry that birthed the town of Monument in the hills north of the city. Tucked away in the aspen and pine-strewn hills, the town nestles among three lakes in the Tri-Lake area. Monument's historic downtown flourishes side-by-side with modern industry ranging from manufacturing and technology to retailers and professional services.

While you won't have trouble finding places for rent in Monument, it's always good to plan your move three to six months in advance to find your ideal home by your move-in date. Ask about pre-applying so that when your ideal rental home becomes available, you won't lose out to someone who is further along in the application process.

When you first arrive in Monument, don't pack your schedule with an endless to-do list
