But I also liked that it seemed more laid back compared to the Denver suburbs (where we would live, not in the city of Denver) with less traffic and friendly locals. When we were in FC visiting we had wonderful conversations with about 8 different strangers; in Littleton, Golden, Centennial and Highlands Ranch we can't remember having spoken with anyone except the real estate agent.

Hopefully we will be taking on more and more outdoor activities over the next few years so the closer the better but I think we can manage in either location to find plenty.

I always hear about FC being labeled as a "college town" which obviously I know it is but what does that mean exactly? Does the city cater more to the young single students than it does to families or is that just a small part of the town atmosphere?
When I was raising kids, I liked being close to those amenities. From Louisville, it was still pretty much a day trip including a meal, but the drive home was 45 minutes or so.

I wouldn't move here for that reason since if you like deciduous hardwoods the east and midwest are much better (it's the native vegetation there).
