My wife's two brothers lived in Castle Rock, one still lives there. It is a nice place.
We were on the other side of Denver, in Longmont. Not as pretty of a setting as Castle Rock. But the best run town I've ever lived in, all the major roads were built with growth in mind. In the middle of the drought (around 2003), every city around us was on mandatory water restrictions, but Longmont never went beyond voluntary restrictions. Any developer who wants to build in the city has to deed 3 acre-feet of water over to the city for every acre in the development.
One hour from our front door to Rocky Mountain National Park. We'd go up there for a picnic, hike, or camping trip five or six times every year. 30 minutes from Boulder, 45 minutes from downtown Denver. About the right concentration of mormons (about 3%) for my taste, keeps the wards a reasonable size. Close to our families in Utah.
