The area is not bad. Im off of tower and hampden. There is crime everywhere you go.

That's where I am as well. Not a bad area if you ask me.

I think there's some houses for sale in my neighborhood. Look just south of Smoky Hill between Buckley and Tower. South of Smoky Hill is considered Centennial in most places if that helps your search.

If you are working at DIA, and looking for an inexpensive house, then take a look at the neighborhood just NE of Tower and Colfax. There is a variety of housing prices in that corner. Its always been quiet for me. Walmart 1/2mile away is convenient.

Don't look at houses north of I70 from there, although some of the Green Valley Ranch area looks nice, there is a lot of human debris in the area. And don't go west along Colfax at all.

Do note that the school situation is not good, if you have kids then I'd probably not recommend it to you.

I was recently looking for a larger place than the one we have there, and ended up just south of the air base. Neighborhood looked quiet enough for me. I was looking in Brighton and would have happily bought there, but houses are going for more than 10% more per sq ft than Aurora in the same condition. And to be honest, Brighton is pleasant but has some icky neighborhoods too. The only thing that concerned me about Brighton was that the selection of restaurants in town itself was not good. Had to go to Thornton for variety.

The noise from Buckley AFB is the sound of freedom.

I used to have a bumper sticker at my desk that said "I love airplane noise".

I live in Saddle Rock Ridge. It is a nice, quiet, family neighborhood. Close to 470, shopping, good places to eat. Doesn't seem to have much crime, though it borders on some areas that do. Good people in my neighborhood. There are some houses for sale here. Come take a look.
