Douglas County is a great place to raise a family; the schools are great and there are plenty of trails and open space amongst the development. Most residents are college educated and the high schools offer many AP courses, rigorous college prep options and excellent teachers. The students are mostly college bound to 4 year schools, so there is an atmospher of healthy competition for academic succes Nightlife could be better, there some interesting options, but it's a quick 25 minute drive to Downtown Denver outside of rush hour.
Douglas County might be one of the best places to live in all of Colorado. The people, schools, environment, and nature are all unmatched. Everybody in Douglas County makes it feel like family. Nobody is rude to one another, and the community stays clean and safe at all times. It is easy for commuting times, the night life is phenomenal, and there are thousands of job opportunities. It is truly one of the best places to live.
I am not a huge fan of suburbs. Especially when every house, car, and person all begin to look the same. Douglas County is nice because there are many local conveniences; there are Starbucks and King's Soopers on almost every corner. It is also not a far commute to Downtown Denver that provides a little color and excitement. It is a growing area which is good for Colorado's economy.
