Broomfield CO is a terrific place to live; moved h -
4/6/2008I disagree with the review from the Alaska native (comparing any urban area or city to Alaska or North Dakota doesn't compute). We moved here 10 yrs ago, own our home. My comparisons would be versus the CA Bay Area where we lived for 20 yrs, or St. Louis, or Chicago. Broomfield is a small neighborhood type community, great for kids. We have a very low crime rate, excellent climate, relatively little traffic. Salaries are comparable to other major areas, lots of big business has moved here, outstanding facilities including a brand new Arena, major shopping centers, parks, rec areas. The work ethic is definitely different - most have never heard of working past 5pm and would flat out refuse especially if not paid overtime. Shorter lines in stores, less crowds, though the young parents are getting a bit pushy and "me"-minded. We love it here. Homes can be bought from mid $150s to the $1 million plus. So, what's not to like?
