Winters have tamed down 2009 to present. Summers are very dry and mild-hot.
Cost of living offers something for every family.
Crime (i. e. youth drugs) remains an issue and concern.
Arts and culture is coming alive with the new Parker Arts Center. Nice.
Parker operates within a reasonable economy.
Parker offers good public and private school choices. 30 minutes - 2 hour radius to excellent colleges.
Air and water quality is excellent as reported by Army Corp of Engineers.
Housing options range from low-income apartments to breath-taking homes. That's Parker, something for every family.
Best mayor in Colorado 2004-2012, in my opinion. Involved, accessible, for the people.
Good quality of life - Denver jobs; international airport; modest housing price changes; fantastic outdoor recreation.
Reasonable drive to mountains; new water reservoir 2013; excellent bike paths between Parker and CO State Parks
Most religious faiths represented in the Parker area.
Good RTD access in Parker to Denver, Colorado Springs business centers and major colleges. Direct highway to airport.
