We are a family with many young ones. We homeschool for health reasons, but would like to explore private schools for the future. We would like to start attending church, but are their catholic churches out there? Is it diverse enough to raise bi-racial children? We like Castle Rock and Longmont so far. We have not lived anywhere but Southern California, any tips on car and house upkeep in snowy conditions? We love doing family things together, this seems like a great place for that....anyone with experience in Colorado living? Are house,car and health insurance less expensive for a reason? Any info will be appreciated, really!

I'm from Boulder and I love it! Castle Rock and Longmont are nice. I'd stay away from Denver and anything south of that. The suburbs around Denver and Boulder are really nice. Rock Creek is a subdivision in Superior, which is a Boulder suburb, and its a very nice neighborhood.
Here's the thing about Boulder. It's a very liberal accepting place. So if you're hardcore conservatives you might not like it. But I love it because its so open and accepting for everyone. The snow actually isn't all that bad, unless you go up into the mountains. And there are TONS of things to do with the family especially outdoors.
Well I pretty much just bathered on about nothing. Email me if you have any other questions about the area, I would be happy to help out.
Good luck.

The costs depend where you are coming from. Certain areas of the state are higher than others. Yes, Colorado is diverse enough-there are tons of bi-racial couples and children here. Castle Rock is probably higher in cost than Longmont, but it is more convenient to commute to Denver and a bit more centrally located. Longmont is near a more industrial area and on the plains. If you have specific questions, feel free to contact me. I was born and raised in Colorado and live about 40 miles south of Castle Rock. Yes, the majority of the religious population in Colorado is predominantly Catholic. It's good to get a rugged vehicle that gets good gas mileage.

lived there most of my life and your best bet is somewhere around Longmont---plus you will not get much snow there
