I just moved from Longmont 4 months ago after living there for 6 years. Decent housing can still be found but you need to stay away from the cheaper areas, there's a reason why they're cheap. Also it's Boulder county so expect higher taxes! There's also pockets of Obama and Prius lovers so beware! The plus is that it's not to far of a drive to find some decent shooting areas. I now live in Maine where everything is very different, for example our local sheriff wanted to know why I was looking for a place to shoot when my 2 1/2 acre yard is perfectly acceptable in his opinion. I mentioned noise and he said as long as I wasn't shooting hundreds of rounds per day he didn't see an issue. Sweet!
