Westcliffe, CO, United StatesCapital City
Follows United States Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of just 435, Westcliffe is a sleepy town that offers little in the way of amenities or entertainment. The county seat of Custer County, this remote outpost in the Wet Mountain Valley is a bureaucratic headache, with locals having to "gently persuade" businesses and residents to reduce light pollution. While the town boasts a free observatory for stargazing enthusiasts, the lack of economic opportunities and isolation may make Westcliffe a tough sell for all but the most dedicated outdoor enthusiasts.
