Cherry Hills Village, CO
to the person considering a move -
4/12/2006Cherry Hills Village is in fact not close to Parker. It actually fairly close to downtown Denver. I'm a little confused why you singled out that neighborhood other than maybe you saw that it has good schools. Which it does due to the fact that it is a very rich area and therefore quite costly but I would imagine that you already know that, having checked out real estate in the area. It is a nice area - doesn't have the friendliest people in Denver living there b/c in fact they are quite snobby...but maybe that's your thing.

To those still wondering about move... -
4/6/2006I think there are plenty of posts on here already regarding crime, weather, education. In terms of weather, I think the people that say the climate is great here, must be coming from Michigan, Wisconisn, Minnesota, etc. where winters are LONG, gray and cold. But if you like some form of moisture, hate wind, and find unrelenting dry heat oppressive - this climate is not for you. All one has to do is fly into albuquerque from the east and see that it's called the desert for a reason - it's dry dry dry and desert vegation. I recommend this place for hippie stoner artist types who are maybe too stoned most of the time to realize how much this place pretty much blows, or rich millionaires who made their money somewhere else and like to feel like big fish (in little ponds). People overall aren't very friendly - I haven't really quite figured out yet. People's standards in what makes a good restaurant here or what good food is...are very low. Most restaurants/food that people consider good here would not last long at all anywhere other than the midwestern towns I suppose. Or any place rural I guess. I'm leaving soon. Can't wait and I pray that I never end up back here.

Only if you're rich, will you potentially like it -
3/23/2006I noticed that the few people that posted positive comments here are obviously part of the wealthy population in Albuquerque. There is a third-world like gap between the rich and the poor here - in terms of quality of life, education, etc...high-crime pretty much seems to pervade all neighborhoods here except for in the gated communities against the mountains, where houses cost at least a half-million. I don't know how these people make/made their money, but it really sucks living here. The air quality is super poor. There's hardly ever ever ever any rain or snow...just hot sun beating down on you day after day and wind that blows all the dust and sand in your eyes b/c there's hardly anything more than dirt. Lovely, really, move here if you like dirt and weeds and crime!
