My sister and her family have lived in Gleneagle for nearly 15 years. As mentioned before, district 20 is great. The other solid district is 12, but that is a bit more south. Careful buying land in the city and holding...the taxes are incredibly high. I learned that one through experience. We plan on moving there (or Denver) next summer...currently in FL. Is commuting for FedEx tough out of Colorado?

that would be putting it mildly.

Even commuting out of Denver? More research required on my part...

I think you will be all right as long as you dont move in next to Tebow. Because if there is a gas line explosion, a tree falls, or an airplane crashes in the neighborhood, my guess, it wont be his house.

Jumpseats on FedEx are a premium into/out of Denver. Deadheading is easy though. COS isn't as competitive, but it's only pm to Memphis and am to COS. Parking at Denver is yet another issue, very, very limited at the ramp.

If it was me, I'd head to Larkspur and check out "the hidden forest". Big time deals to be had on gorgeous homes nestled in towering ponderosa pines with nothing but wildlife around you. No traffic, hidden, just the sound of wind in the trees. Awesome place with some SWA pilots that live there. I heard the elementary school is top notch. I think the middle/high school would be in Castle Rock.

Castle Rock is booming right now.

Thanks. These look like great places. I have two kiddos, 11 and 6, so if the schools are top notch, even better. I'm guessing the SWA pilots living there are either out of PHX or LAS and it's probably an easy commute out of Denver.
