    Default Conifer? Thinking of a move.

    Feeling the need to get out of town lately, any thoughts on Conifer? I need to commute to Littleton everyday and a straight shot down 285 doesn't seem to bad.

    Schools look pretty good as well up that way. Any pro/cons?

    I like living up here, but it is a lot of work; my neighbors are generally pretty good. I spend a lot of time managing the forest in the summer and with snow removal in the winter. Yes, the schools are really good, and I have nothing but good things to say about them. There are those that move up here and love it; and there are those that move up here and put up a sign to sell after their first winter. The drive to Littleton is pretty easy, but your choice of vehicle is impacted. Traffic will back up on the Richmond Hill exit where 285 drops to two lanes during some of the bad snow storms and on Friday evenings during the summer. If you have questions, PM me.

    Yeah just go as far as Conifer, we got enough city folks in Bailey.

    However don't bitch about your neighbors, cutting wood, riding dirtbikes, playing music, leaving trash out, blah blah blah, it's their property and each enjoys the foothills differently.

    My girlfriend lives in Evergreen and her parents are in Conifer. We are in our low 40s and her kids are 5 and 9. Nice area, schools are good.. Neighbors can be weird/iffy, my gf is friendly/social, her neighbors aren't at all. If you have kids and they have a lot of neighborhood friends don't expect that up in the hills. Evergreen social circle can be a bit snooty/clicky. If you want a nice piece of land it will cost you. Great place if you want some space and are perfectly happy with some distance to neighbors.

    Ignore what Mtn.man said. Conifer sucks...gangs, drugs, ghettos, drive-bys... Bailey is where it's at. Move up here. Encourage all your friends to move up here. My house will be on the market soon.

    I vote you look at Evergreen as well. I travel through Evergreen and Conifer frequently on the motorcycles and they both look like nice places. Bailey is cute. Kind of small for my taste, but whatever.

    This actually doesn't sound to bad. Not that I want to live next to a garbage dump but I'm ready for more space. My townhome backs up to the open space and its great looking out the back but I hate the otherside and what neighborhood has become.

    I I think we are going to drive up that way tomorrow and look around

    Well then PCOUNTY might be your place,,, we got no sound restrictions, even when they think we do no enforcement, when we don't like a neighbor we harass them till they move, and then you pretty much move on to a larger pc O' property so you can control the area.

    Hey BG's place is almost perfect for ya. Mine has a big shop but i don't like the neighbors that have moved in even though they are a 100 yards away.
    Just bought some property surround on 4 sides by Nat Forest with an easement so NO neighbors in the near future.

    My gf lives a block down from the evergreen rodeo grounds. There's a house for sale on the corner right across the street from the rodeo grounds with a good lot and shop space for a pretty reasonable price. Actually there are a number of homes in that neighborhood off of stagecoach for sale.
