The Unforgettable Sunset
I have always been mobile for my career, until I moved to Castle Rock. I've lived in in multiple cities in the Midwest including Chicago and have visited nearly every metro area in the US for work. Many of those areas were forgettable, but I still remember my first visit to Castle Rock in 2010 when I took a picture of the stunning orange/red mountain sunset from the Lowe's parking lot. That framed picture hung in my home in Oklahoma and it has now hung in my Castle Rock home for over 5 years. The only difference is now I get to enjoy this alluring landscape daily:)
I still travel extensively and have yet to visit a place that would entice me to move, including Southern California, Pacific Northwest, Etc. These places are great to vacation, which is easy to do from DIA, but livability is much lower IMHO.
The schools options here are stellar. My young daughter loves her daily life here including her school and the parks.
Concrete Aspects that I Like the Most
-Safety, Trail System, Schools, Educated/Affluent life approach, Access to concert venues (Red Rocks Amphitheater) and amenities (parks and pools), Active population which creates a positive vibe
