"I used to live up in this area. It is expensive. There are no (good) schools surrounding. But for the exquisite views, many that live up here are rich white suburban retirees, who come up every once in a while to brag about how they too, are true Coloradans. The safety up here is fine, not exceptional, not poor. It is pet friendly, but who's out here to regulate? When we were robbed it took police 45 minutes to get to our house. It's a good place for hiking... Walking anywhere is impossible. The restaurants are gaudy if anything. My favorite little restaurant was closed down two years back, and now a colossal, extremely expensive one stands in its place. Of course the parks and recreation is fantastic, but the missing trees, taken from the pine beetle really takes away from the experience. The traffic as well is terrible. Of course, it depends on where you live, but it does take forever to drive (one of the main reasons we sold) Parking: nothing special. Entertainment and nightlife? not much to brag about... stay inside. Public transportation? adds to traffic and takes FOREVER. Cleanliness? sure... again, rich white neighborhood wouldn't have anything dirty, like actual dirt and Colorado grass stand in their way! Finally, Community Involvement... Or LACK THEREOF! There is none of this. I keep bringing up rich white retirees because I am one. And I spent my days in a massive house just like this one, and I had no community. No one did. DO NOT BUY THIS HOME. unless you want to fit into the stereotypical norm here. Boredom. In one word."
