Our family is relocating to Colorado this summer and I've been tasked with asking the resident experts for information on best places to consider in the Denver - Colorado Springs area.

I'm keenly aware of the commute challenges and my apologies for being one more guy fighting for a Jumpseat! But family comes first so the mission begins.

Any and all comments appreciated in advance concerning residential locations, schools, the whole experience really. Currently left seat MD-11 (junior) living in Memphis (well past the time to bail out).

Anywhere in reasonable proximity to the I-25 corridor between the two cities is the focus. Planning on a number of visits over the next few months for fact finding. Two kids - one approaching middle school and the other in elementary school.

Thanks!
