Anyone live in Franktown or Elizabeth?

Looking for any updates on Elizabeth, we're seriously considering putting an offer in on a house that's about 2.5 miles due north of town. Looks like a nice area and no HOA. We spent the day hanging out in town, checking out who was at the Wal-Mart and Big-R (surprised to find a Glock 43 at the Big-R).

Can anyone with younger kids comment on the schools, we've got one going into 6th and one into 4th next year. This school looks pretty interesting online but we just saw it so haven't had a chance to do much research http://www.legacyk8.org/

A former member here who has since moved out of state had his kids in school in elizabeth through I believe most of middle school and had very good things to say. Wish I had more info that that, but his wife is a teacher and liked the school and the way they were being taught if that says anything

Currently living in franktown and relocating to elizabeth to get more space i.e. acreage (wife loves horses, I love shooting. It's a win-win). It's great out here. It takes a little longer to get some places, but it's worth it for sure. I don't have kids, so I can't say anything in that aspect, but everything else is great.

My bees are at a friends home just N of Elizabeth. I would move out there in a heartbeat if it were 5 years later and closer to retirement. Great area and there is a group of us that are already linked in together for....well mutual friendship.

We have a shooting pit on his land and will shoot pistols quite often. Let me know if you move out there and we will have you over for some fun.

That sounds like a great time, we're about 80% sure we're going to make an offer. The lot is 10 acres (as are all the surrounding lots) so not idea for shooting but I figure we can set up an archery range and not worry about someone calling the police if we're taking care of rabbits with a pellet gun.

I was riding with an ECSO deputy and I think he said 20 acres. But then again most of the people out their are pro 2A.

The plot we're moving to is 40 acres. I'd rather not scare wildlife away and to be courteous to our neighbors, for this reason, I'm going to be saving up for my first suppressor so I can shoot my pistol without my wife or our animals hating all of the noise. (That's how I'm going to justify it to her anyways).

Also, if you use a .22 rifle, it might not create enough noise to upset the neighbors (provided you're not going an a rabbit killing rampage one night)

Anything other than a pellet gun would definitely be suppressed. :-)

40 acres would be nice but we're having trouble finding the right mix of house and land. We looked at one on 40 acres as well but it was a bit too rustic. They had a freshly skinned coyote pelt on the fence.

Where do you guys work if you live further out than Franktown? Cant imagine driving from past Franktown to the tech center every day.

Before we moved from N.E. of Elizabeth to the south side, my wife drove to the Tech Center every day and now she works from home and is one happy camper. I drive to the Pinery for work, which ain't bad at all. I'm darn happy I don't have to go further than that, because that's about where the traffic starts to get heavy.
