The cell phone service is definitely poor up there; last summer I took some friends up to see Eldora, which they liked BTW. Anyway, we found we did not have service till we were pretty much down the mtn into Boulder.

Jeffco is a very, very large school district and has a wide range of schools. Some are excellent, some not. I don't think you can generalize about the entire district. Many parents in the mountain areas of Jeffco drive their kids down to school in Boulder or elsewhere, since they commute to work anyway.
For true hippies, I should add that Ned is the ONLY town in the area that has successfully maintained a natural foods co-op for many, many years (since 1979). Boulder recently tried and failed. That tells you something about the town's vibe. |

No to NEd
We were thinking about buying in the foothills. Lived here since 1999. Ned will be taken over by beetle kill in the next two years. You won't want to hike anywhere in the area by then. Your home will be worthless or taken out by fire.
Took 3 years to COMPLETELY KILL ALL TREES in Grand Lake, just over the divide. Its stunning, but true.
You'd be a sucker to buy in Ned.

Is it possible to commute from Nederland to Denver? The road to Ned is described as a winding, rocky mountain road. How true is that? Can you go up and down in the snow?

I don't know how to get there except from Boulder. That road is not bad. I don't know what it's like in the snow. I do know a lot of people live in Ned and work in Boulder, also there is RTD service to Ned, so it must not be *too* bad. But Nederland to Boulder to Denver would be about a 1 1/2 hr commute. |
