As far as CS goes, and if your primary concern is good a good public school system, make sure you get a house in the District 20 School System (This is the area around the Air Force Academy). They are some of the best public schools in the country. On the other hand, Monument has very good schools too and can commute to DIA in just over 30 minutes provided traffic is good.

I did the same as your doing 10 years ago. Denver was my first choice. But cost of houses in Denver made me check out C-Springs and thats where I ended up.
