Another area I'd recommend is neighborhoods along Ridge Rd. from Broadway heading west to Windermere. I had a condo in that area, lived there for 13 years.
This is great, thanks!

Maybe you should consider the Highland Ranch area, Douglas County, here's a link to Highlands Ranch Metro: Distric Highlands Ranch Metro District | Highlands Ranch, Colorado. But I have to say that Littleton schools are one of the best out there and Old Town Littleton and the surrounding neighborhood is quite nice to.

I'm currently considering Highlands Ranch, West Centennial (near DTC), and I'm starting to look at Littleton. My wife and I initially dismissed it due to our inability to get feel for it, but I wanted to check in with others who would have more knowledge of the area.

But I feel in love with highlands ranch years ago and that is where I have wanted to move to for a long time. However, the current school situation there concerns me and I'm considering other cities as well.

OP, I think you are over-analyzing this a bit. The best advice I got when we moved once was from a friend who had previously lived where we were moving. She said there were good school districts and bad school districts there but we wouldn't buy a house in a bad district. Best advice I ever got about schools, and I like to pass it on. You're not going to buy some trashed-out house. When you look at a house, drive around the whole area, see if you like what you see. If you're concerned about living near other families I'd suggest going with something fairly new, and look for stuff like bikes, trikes, toys around (harder to do in winter I know). If you see lots of cars parked in front of houses, there are probably teens/college students living there. I should know, we once had 4 cars and only two of them fit in the garage.

Good luck!
