    Default Is Anyone Familiar with this Neighborhood in North Westminister

    The wife and I are house shopping. We were driving through the Amhurst / Quail Crossing neighborhood and really liked it. This is the neighborhood on the south side of 136th between Huron and Zuni. We like that the neighborhood seemed very well kept and there was an American Flag lit up in about every 10th yard. Seemed like my kind of place on the drive through. Anyone know anything about it.
    Thanks

    I actually grew up in Quail Crossing and my parents still live in the house they had built in the mid-80's. In my mind there are four different areas and all but one are very good to live in. Coming in from 136th onto Kalamath St. is what I consider the odd houses. They were built more recently than the rest of Quail Crossing and really do not fit the area. They are larger, with split-rail fences between yards. The houses are very nice and I have never heard of problems there, but my concern is it is a handful of houses surrounded by the older, smaller, and in some cases run down houses. I suspect but don't know for sure that the house values are slightly depressed.
    Next is the orignial Quail Crossing which I divide into two areas, the first couple of blocks were built in either the late 70's or early 80's and many of the homes are run down, though there isn't much crime. The middle of Quail Crossing where my parents live is in overall good shape. Best of all there is no HOA.
    Amhurst is really another different area, again bigger and newer homes. I really liked some of the houses for sale I saw while we were searching for a new house, but my fiancée grew up in Arvada and really wanted to end up in West Arvada.
    Sadly if you have kids the school district has gone quite a bit downhill since I graduated in 94. Adams 12 recently made the news for corruption at the very top and just doesn’t do all that well anymore. Still better than Denver but that isn’t saying much.
    If you have any questions post them or PM, and if I don’t know I can ask my parents.

    I still run into people who are shocked that it is Westminster. About a mile west and you are in Broomfield, about a mile east and you are in Thornton. Most people think it is either Broomfield, Thornton or Northglenn.

    I live in Thornton, just on the other side of I-25 from that area. It is a nice area. The Paul Derda Center has a really nice pool. It is pretty easy to get anywhere from I-25 and 136th. The best perk of all is you will be relatively close to BP Tactical who can take care of any gunsmith or machinists needs you might have.

    I live just a bit Northeast of there but head over that direction all the time. It is a nice area, as cstone said we go to Paul Derda all the time and it is a nice rec center. Plus just a few months till Cabelas opens up about 3 miles from there.
