Definitely a nice and safe city to live in. If anyone says it has a "tight knit" feel I can guarantee you they are one of the many uber-rich from a huge city like New York or LA cause there is well over 60k people currently living here....it is far from a tight knit feel. The town itself is gorgeous and clean but that comes at the price of the residents. The residents that can't afford it leave and are typically replaced with VERY rich residents who are quite literally buying million dollar mansions or having them built. A weird habit, that is not just in Castle Rock, is that Restaurants will never be open past 8pm. This was also a trend before the pandemic. So if you're a nighthawk, the whole state of Colorado is not for you. I'll be leaving here soon and I just hope when I come back to visit that all the Open Space still exists and that the town is not filled with rich, pretentious pricks; but I have a strong feeling this will not be the case.
Castle Rock is an amazing place!! It has something for everyone whether that be lots of outdoor opportunities, delicious food, or a great shopping outlet mall. Everything is located within a fifteen minute drive of each other. Another perk is that there are multiple roads to take into the mountains, allowing for quick, easy access. Everyone is always willing to help as well. This town does so many things to get the community together and cheer everyone up like shooting fireworks off a tall hill in the city for Fourth of July and lighting up the Star during during December for Christmas. My favorite thing in Castle Rock is the trail cleanups as I get to help out my community and see everyone on the trails. I highly recommend getting involved in this community!! You won't regret it!!
A nice town but very classist and socially conservative in too many ways. A lot of really hateful mindsets here that made me more than happy to leave to seek more diversity and a more accepting community.
Overall I like the small town. People are friendly and its a rather safe town. There's lots of food places and shopping places near by so everything you may need is relatively close by which I love.
Everybody moving here, don't do it. We are full. Way to much growth in the past few years I love the candy stores!
Castle Rock is a great town and community to be a part of. The people are trustworthy and the sights are incredible.
Great place to live. Family oriented. Active lifestyles. Far enough from Denver, but not to far if you work downtown. A nice buffer from the hustle and bustle.
Great community and good people.
We love living in Castle Rock. Easy commute to Denver or Colorado Springs.

The area is so convenient and has so many amenities. Easy access to I 25. Area feels very safe. Having the outlets so close is amazing and everyone is very friendly.
I really love living near Castle Rock! Great community but lots of construction. I give it 4 stars because there is a lot of construction and there’s not much to do unless you like shopping.
I LOVE IT!!! It is so close to people and the community! It is also super easy to find jobs and get hired! I love the night time life, because they have lights on and it is so beautiful. The people are super friendly, and you can make friends so easily. There are many events through out the year, such as concerts, supermarkets, farmers market and much much more! This part of Colorado is super safe and kids and or students are able to walk home from one place and not feel unsafe! There are also lots of diversity from Americans to Asians, to Mexicans and so many other ethics! I also love the public high schools! The schools are in a safety zone and almost every students knows each other because they almost go to the same schools! The schools are public, so when there are homecoming games, people driving by on the road will see our class color in the stadium and all the cheer, shout and joy can be heard! It is such an amazing place where everyone belong and are safe!
I love Castle Rock. I work just 5 minutes from my house, as do most of my friends. Many neighborhoods are filled with young parents and young kids. The schools are really nice and theres a lot of food options, as well as the outlets which are a huge hit with everyone.
Castle Rock is an amazing place, with amazing people. You are able to make so many new friends and there are lots of things to do! I have lived here my whole life and have always loved it. It is growing very quickly but I am very hopeful and optimistic that it will keep its small-town feel that I know and love.
I love the overall feel of castle rock, far enough away from the city but still close enough to visit when you want. The people are so friendly, the weather is amazing, and there are planty of things to do when you want to get out of the house. We moved from Parker and although i love parker, castle rock is a nice change.
I LOVED living here. It's a great location, pretty close to both Denver and Colorado Springs. The downtown area is very charming, an area I've always liked walking around and enjoying. The library in town is massive, and it was always a place my family and I really enjoyed hanging out in. Another family tradition was sitting on our roof to watch fireworks, Castle Rock has a great view of them on the fourth of July. There are also some wonderful restaurants, and the ice skating rink has been a fun addition to town. There are many quirks about the town that I enjoy, like how they labeled the water tower "ACME Water Tower" and the star on top of Castle Rock. I also loved not having an HOA in our neighborhood. The only reason this isn't five stars is the recent construction that has taken over the downtown area. The construction itself is kind of disruptive and annoying to drive by, and in my opinion the huge modern buildings they are constructing are off putting and look out of place.
I stayed here a few weeks, almost a month. I was there to find work and I'm well educated and qualified. I also tried to find a worship place and tried to make it my home, but I left in disgust.
People here are mostly rich, so if you're rich, I guess you will be welcomed and you will like it. If you are not rich, as so many are not in this day and time, you will be miserable. I was sat down and told how low class I was (which I'm not) and how I just wasn't good enough for the town.
At first, they gave me some help since I'm out of work. But this quickly deteriorated into inequality and even hostility.
So watch out. The natives are hostile. I even had to go to the hospital with my blood pressure soaring because a landlady I was staying with, allowed a man to peek into my room while I was getting dressed! When I made a legitimate complaint, she came at me and it was so distressing it set off health problems and I had a hospital visit. I left disgusted.

Castle Rock is a very nice city to live in. Castle Rock has many restaurants, shopping areas, and hiking trails. There is a lot to do here.
