Smaller is better. Keep working on her. And the schools around there are good. You might need to choice into Coronado or Normandy (not sure what the home school is for that 'hood) for elementary... but KCMS and Columbine are good schools.

Seriously? That would have been more than amusing.Wait a second... I live on Saulsbury Ct.
That's actually a really nice neighborhood. Close to the middle school AND easy bike to the high school.
Deer Creek would be your home trail. Just sayin'...
Oh - and ridin' distance to our pad - which has G&Ts on the back deck. And a hot tub.

Please see previous post, Slowpoke.
3300 finished square feet is small now?
That's a big lot! Mowing such an off-camber multilevel beast would not be fun. Same self-rimming sink gripe goes for this one, although they did at least put some effort into bringing the kitchen and master bath forward from 1970.
The biggest differences for new construction around here, IMO, are ceiling height and insulation. I have a feeling that faux-wood wall in photo 9 leaks heat like a mofo, and floors 1 and 2 alike appear to be 8 feet to my eye.
It's not the square footage. It's the family room/kitchen openness. I think that it's perfectly fine and the house I grew up in had a similar amount of space in those rooms. As for the yard, I would be getting a riding mower. Now way in hell I'm mowing a f*ing acre with a push.
Nor do we. However our creepy, hyper religious, Romney sign placing, only person Layla barks at, neighbor has a big one.Full disclosure: we do NOT have a white boulder in our front yard.
This was the most important consideration for us...
Given I am a giant, having a 9ft+ vs your standard 8ft ceiling is pretty important. We have a fan in the living room and had to situate our furniture such that a table is directly below it, as I've bashed my head a few times.
Thankfully she agrees that Stapleton makes no sense.Y'all need to come over and see my new house once it's done. Nice, open great room/kitchen area. Stoney's wife will flip and then demand something akin to it.
10' first floor and 9' basement and second floor, too.
new construction in North Golden are in your budget.
It all depends on where you work. Given that I'm at Anschutz and don't like old houses then Stapleton makes sense for me: short commute, good schools, in Denver proper for what that's worth, tons of people with kids + dogs around, and new construction.
I admittedly do give up yard space, garage space, and end up paying more, but I like the overall package. Plus it has no swinger stigma.
Our lot is 0.15 acres and is considered pretty big...Let me rephrase most everything here... I am okay with most anything. As long as the schools are good, because we'll still try to get Haley into a STEM school. All I care about is a decent sized yard and a 3-car garage. I'm pretty easy about things.
And that nice short commute...

She will want the toaster too.Y'all need to come over and see my new house once it's done. Nice, open great room/kitchen area. Stoney's wife will flip and then demand something akin to it.

She won't be able to miss it as it'll be set up for viewing on its own toaster-pedestal, resting on a soft velvet cushion.
It'll be like this, only super classy like the Trump-wall with with less microwave, more wok, and more toaster:
who gets on the ladder to clean the cobwebs/dust?

Right. Live in Colorado, but 1hr from nearest mtb trail.Too bad it's such a terrible location.
Closer to Limon than the mountains.
NTTAWWT.
To Toshi's credit, though - he doesn't mountain bike.
it's not that bad.
might as well call it kansas....if you're going to be like that.Closer to Limon than the mountains.
True. But jobs change all the time.
Haven't been in I-70 traffic in awhile?
I need to make this happen.
Isn't Golden where all the Denver smog goes to sit, trapped against the Front Range? Sure looks that way out here in Kansas.
S.S. is unfortunately right: I basically don't mountain bike any more. I rode a few times in Seattle but just wasn't feeling it. I don't crave that rush anymore, and already know that I can (er, could) clear this or that. I'm old.

Given I just changed mine and bos has actually worked out a good flight path for me, I'm probably going to be staying around for a while. Plus tenure. Hard to find the vacation I've got at this point.
Buy lycra, go roadie. There are a ton of roadie groups out in your area. Too much flat for mtb, so roadie.Isn't Golden where all the Denver smog goes to sit, trapped against the Front Range? Sure looks that way out here in Kansas.

Me too! It's like the sister-in-law from Breaking Bad painted it!
That's a real bummer Toshi! But I'll just interpret that as your life is so awesome you don't currently have time. Go find a bike though. You gotta teach the kid!Isn't Golden where all the Denver smog goes to sit, trapped against the Front Range? Sure looks that way out here in Kansas.

If you go up to Genesee some time during the brown cloud you will see we are ALL in it. You only visually see it in the distance, though - despite the fact that you are *also* in the middle of it.Isn't Golden where all the Denver smog goes to sit, trapped against the Front Range?

I 70....honestly never.Haven't been in I-70 traffic in awhile?
