    "I love living in Conifer. Awesome schools, excellent quality of life, close enough to Denver so you can commute if you need to."
  • Plecabin
    "Easy commute to Denver or mountains in any weather. The roads are well maintain. I've lived here safely and comfortably for 20 years. Great wildlife watching, up to 40 head of elk sleeping in adjoining lots. Walk to grocery RTD Park and ride."
  • mikemfisher
    "I've never been happier with a decision in my life than moving to Conifer. The community here is like nothing I've ever experienced, with annual neighborhood block parties, halloween hay rides for the kids, Christmas parades, BBQ festivals, live music. I used to live in a subdivision (in Parker and Superior), and the vibe up here in Conifer is completely different. All of my neighbors would sacrifice their weekend and bend over backwards to help me, and I would do the same for them. If you want to be left alone, there's plenty of space to do that up here. If you want a tight knit community where you know the names of the hardware store employees and see your friendly neighbors at the grocery store, this it it. This really is the perfect place to call home, for all ages."
  • Jan
    "Highway 285 is a much better commute to the metro Denver (west)than I70. 40 minutes to Golden, 45 minutes to the airport way on the east side of Denver/Aurora. Easy access to connecting Interstate routes such as C470, I70, I25."
