This is JMHO...but stay away from Cimarron Hills(eastern CS),around the military installations,and south side all together...Cheyenne Mtn.HS and Air Academy are good schools from what I hear and know of,and the neighboorhoods around there are decent...

I do not live in CS but my daughter & her family do. I am very impressed with the Cheyenne Mtn. grade, middle and HS. They rate very high. But the area around the schools is more expensive altho there are many older homes, small and large. My daughter had a hard time adjusting to a more city type living but that area is so beautiful, with many native trees allowed to stand that is has a private feeling. Wildlife show up every day or so. But as I understand. Cheyenne Mtn schools do not run buses. It is up to the parents to get and retrieve their kids from school. It seems the parents themselves decided to use the cost of this for better teachers etc. They do have buses for outside activities. As to safety, my daughter had a birthday party for the whole family. One grandson got in trouble for waving at a helicopter. He did not know this was a patrol and waving was for when you needed help. Us poor dumb country bumpkins.

I think alot will depend on your price range for rent or mortgage. Both districts are great, however there is a significant difference in cost of homes in those areas. bashep
