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....

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

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 28 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

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! If you're looking for a place to settle down, whether on your own or with a family, I would highly recommend checking out Centennial!... Read 325 reviews

Niche User: As a college student from a small town, Boulder is a very nice area to be! I enjoy the nightlife, although make sure to stay away from The Hill area if you are not fond of loud sounds and lots of people during the night. Because Boulder is a college town there are lots of students running around doing whatever they want. If you look past that though, Boulder is incredibly beautiful and there are lots of places you can go inside the community to get away from obnoxious people. I love it here and find there are so many opportunities and things to do as a young person!... Read 344 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 284 reviews

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.

Nevertheless, the soul of the suburb will always be where every neighbor is a friendly face you also see in your English class.... Read 345 reviews
