[quote=clearfund]It was all of the above. With small kids, we wanted a smaller town life for them to grow up in vs. the So CA pace of life.
Have never felt so unstressed in life. Last week we had a 9″ snowstorm on Wednesday, and today it was was warm sunny and the snow is 90% gone. Have never seen the kids so happy playing in the yard/snow for 4 hours/day.
The fact that apples to apples housing (schools, neighbors, etc) is apx <50% of the comparable SD housing it awesome. More college fund savings![/quote]
I spent a lot of time commuting back and forth to Ft. Collins when my brother was sick. He had a gorgeous house near the foothills - north of the stadium off of Overland. I can understand the appeal of Ft. Collins.
But man - the weather is volatile. I never knew what to expect that fall. But the mountains were gorgeous.
