Centennial

Ok, sorry BillRadio if I came off as being a little snotty. No physical harm intended. Yes, you are right there is a semi-rural subdivision called "Piney Creek Ranches" and a couple of other similar ones off Arapahoe Rd. I lived in "THE" Piney Creek for six years (which btw is bigger than all the other subdivisions with "Piney Creek" in the name), so I thought you were mistaking the name for something else. It didn't occur to me that you were talking about the "Piney Creek Ranches" area. Anyway, the whole City of Centennial really shouldn't exist, IMO. The eastern parts should have been Aurora, and Greenwood Village should have annexed the entire western part. Unfortunately, GV had to get greedy, and Aurora wasn't exactly stepping up to the plate to annex their part, so that's what happened. A lot of the "eastern Centennial" residents, such as in my neck of the woods in Piney Creek, supported the new city just so they could have a new mailing address instead of having the supposed stigma of saying they lived in "Aurora, CO." I remember because even though I wasn't old enough to vote at the time, I attended the grassroots meetings put together when they were trying to get citizen support to create the new city.

We too are looking at WC and a few other subdivisions nearby. There seems to be a lot of school choices. One neighborhood was Dry Creek Elem. and a few blocks away was Homestead. All three schools have terrific reviews. But I like what someone wrote about the neighborhood with no bus service. I think it would build more of a sense of community being out and seeing your neighbors. But we heard that Dry Creek was very well regarded... We originally had not considered this area at all, and have been all over the board. I'm thankful to have these honest posts to read through.
