Suburb of Colorado Springs, CO
Current Resident: I've lived in Palmer Lake my entire life and I love it. The view is amazing and so are the houses. There aren't many big, fancy, modern houses, though there are some, but instead there are average sized modern houses. The view is of the Rocky Mountains and there are great schools in the area....

Suburb of Denver, CO
Current Resident: HH since 2015 where Hutchinson Homes were very well built in 60s. Big yards, mostly good neighbors, multi-use trails wind through the 'hood and just south of the Cherry Creek Trail. Most homes actually in Denver County though some homes are in Arapahoe County. Lower crime than in my old central Denver neighborhood. Many great schools in the area from K-12 and also undergraduate and grad schools nearby. Light rail is under 1 mile from my home. Still in Denver but lots are bigger so you can get a house with a good 2-car garage where in more-central Park Hill neighborhood people have to park on street and move their cars on street-sweeping days. A few original residents. Bible Park is a Denver City Park that has a brand new huge playground for the younger school aged "yard ape" kids, tennis courts for all, but no live music like some city parks such as City Park which has a free summer live jazz concert -- and oldsters complain if you suggest live music at Bible Park....

Niche User: There has never been any big crimes in this area. People can walk around or go to the gas station at night without being scared of being kidnapped or murdered. There are never break-ins, kidnappings, drug busts, or murders in my area. When you're driving, it's very likely you'll see a police car. But the only time you see their lights on is for pulling someone over. There's little crime so the response time is fast.... Read 32 reviews

Current Resident: Castle Pines needs more shops and local restaurants. Rents are very high which keeps businesses away. Many retail establishments that have been closed have never been replaced. There is a large Safeway grocery store that closed 5 plus years ago. It is still empty, which looks bad. There is only one area with retail and restaurants for a very large community. The schools are wonderful and the area is beautiful. There are trails for biking and hiking throughout the community.... Read 36 reviews

Town in Colorado
Current Resident: Evergreen has a unique mountain town personality. The access to the hiking and biking trails is hard to find elsewhere. The neighborhoods are mostly quiet, and the school systems are very good. As for my critiques, in the summer the traffic can get very bad from all the Denver traffic, and there are not many career opportunities in the area, so many people commute the hour to Denver....

Niche User: We live in a mountain community. The people here are laid back and kind and there isn't a place in my town that I don't feel safe. Compared to living in a city, our community is much more relaxed and safe. It doesn't have the same trappings as a typical suburban community either, you can be as involved or not involved as you'd like. I would certainly move here again if I had to do it all over....

Current Resident: Highlands Ranch is a good, relatively safe place to live, especially if you are trying to start a family. It has lots of open trails and parks including some dog parks. It's about half an hour's drive from anywhere you want to go including the foothills and mountains. Highlands Ranch can be a bit of a self contained bubble however, since there are multiple shopping centers and recreational centers. Generally neighbors are friendly, though often they can be pretentious or overly report to the HOA. Overall I would recommend Highlands Ranch.... Read 424 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Centennial all my life, and I enjoy it! Everyone is super friendly around here, and all our neighbors are great. There are lots of options for shopping, eating, and entertainment. It is also fairly close to Denver (about 30 minutes) and Parker (about 20 minutes). The mayor is wonderful, and she is very involved in the community. There are plenty of awesome local events, such as the Centennial Chalk Art festival!

Current Resident: I have lived here for 18 years (all my life pretty much), and I truly call this place home. I went to the local elementary school, Dutch Creek Elementary, and I absolutely loved it. On top of the education, the neighborhood is fairly safe too! With this, it makes our community very family friendly and family oriented. It isn't that expensive to live here either as there are plenty of options in owning or renting a home here. If you're not quite ready for a home yet, there are apartment complexes to meet your needs as well. During the day, you will notice that residents in this neighborhood are quite active. Every once in a while, you will see people walking, jogging and spending time with their pet. Columbine West is truly a great place to grow up in and to settle down in.... Read 60 reviews

Current Resident: We have lived here for a year and a half. We have a small child and the neighborhood is very family friendly. We live in Claremont Ranch and there is no HOA, which is a plus to us. The neighborhood still looks pretty good. There is some theft crime, but that is anywhere you go nowadays. The park nearby is small, but good for our uses. Probably not for older kids. Close to King Soopers and really anything one might need. Good view of Pikes Peak in most of the neighborhood. My only beef is that the houses are too close together. I basically see houses out of every window in my house. However I realize this is common here. I'm from Texas and lived in a small town where the houses are a little more spread out. That also seems all over the Springs. Not necessarily Cimarron Hills.... Read 39 reviews

Low if not none existent crime rate and lovely walking paths that are great for walking your animals. Ken Caryl is littered with adorable parks and even tennis courts and a small frisbee golf course.

Current Resident: Castle Rock is an interesting place. It lies just outside of the Denver Metropolitan Area, being close enough to both city life and town life. It is also kind of split into two sections, the Northern and Southern ends. Each contain businesses, nature, and residential spaces. Commuting through each is generally quick, except on certain days when traffic builds up on either the I-25 or Founders Parkway. The town also has a fair every late July and early August, with many rides and a rodeo. The general vibe of the location is fairly lively. As of now, I have no complaints about this place. If someone asked me if they should move here, I would give them a confident yes.... Read 310 reviews

Current Resident: Parker is a very safe community to live in. There has yet to be a time where I have felt in danger or uncomfortable in the neighborhoods I live in. We are also in close proximity to connecting highways and have a fair variety of restaurants; essentially, everything a teenager with their car needs! Sometimes it can feel quite small in Parker, maybe even a bit privileged, but watching it grow has been very rewarding as a native. I know Parker will only continue to get larger, and with that more complicated civic action and debate. Nevertheless, the soul of the suburb will always be where every neighbor is a friendly face you also see in your English class.... Read 343 reviews

Current Resident: Being the place I called home ever since I was born, Broomfield was a community that was easy to get involved in. Whether I was swimming on the Broomfield community swim team, going to the library, or running 5ks and turkey trots, my family and I's ability to make new family friends and get in touch with our community was inevitable. However, as I grew up, I got more aware of the monoculturalistic aspects of the city and further urged me to escape to a big city in my following years. Despite the fact that my community wasn't as diverse, as a half-white half-asian child, I never had any problems fitting in or being accepted. I couldn't of asked for a better place to start a family, as I have kept close bonds with friends and neighbors even after high school.... Read 283 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived here my entire life, and I am a current high school junior attending Peak to Peak. I attended elementary/middle school at Eldorado K-8 and I had a good experience there as well, for the most part. I will say that this area is a great one for families. It continues to grow by the day, and it is close to a lot of central places in Colorado (Denver, Boulder, etc). In other words, there is always something to do. It's not barren like some parts of Colorado, but it isn't overcrowded either. Similar to the rest of Boulder County, it is not the most diverse place and you can definitely feel it when you live here for a while. Overall, though, it's a calm and quintissentially American town.... Read 29 reviews
