SperlingViews - Evergreen, Colorado

Several young families, not a lot of opportunities for singles. Horrible public transportation access.[read more...]

Having spent 25 years in Erie, PA, I feel Evergreen is a very safe and friendly place. You feel that you can go anywhere at anytime and you are ok, and should anything happen, your neighbors will help you. Only real safety issue is wildlife - as some mt lions have been known to kill people's (large!)dogs - but almost exclusively only at night. Coyotes will snap up your cats too. I live in an area where eagles and hawks eye my cats even during the day, so cats are now exclusively indoors. Depends where you are in the mts. I lived one town over where my cats were safe outdoors (they all lived) for 4 years, although they always came before dark.[read more...]

It took 3 long years to realize our dream and that was to move to gorgeous Evergreen, Colorado we moved from back east and have been on vacation for the past 12 years (it feels like a vacation living up here) The community is wonderful, it's paradise on earth, people are involved very supportive and loyal to small businesses like mine. I love driving downtown Evergreen I pass the lake where during the Summer people are boating, fishing, walking and relaxing and in the Winter one sees the ice skaters, the fishermen, the wildlife all seasons. My husband commutes just 40 minutes to Littleton down the hill for work and goes against any traffic.

Can anyone give me any information about the Evergreen area? We are a family of 4 (5 and 7 year old boys) and are looking for a good place to raise our kids. We live in Dallas currently and are fed up with the smog, traffic, and people. The public schools here are hit and miss and spend more time trying to pass state mandated tests than working on education. We know housing prices are higher in Evergreen but are more concerned about the "feel" of the community. Is the population generally friendly? Is starting a business there difficult if you are an outsider? How many people in the Evergreen area are acutally from Colorado? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.[read more...]
