I see value in Castle Rock.

Also, this looks to be too good to be true in Littleton:

Wild Plum - New Homes in Littleton, CO 80123 | CalAtlantic Homes

I've had new construction before and loved it as everything was under warranty. However, I do like doing projects so this time I wouldn't mind a semi fixer upper-as long as it doesn't need everything

They're saying 2019, not sure I want to wait that long, and I will be shocked if the pricing is in the low 300's.

"Wild Plum Farm, a 103-acre property in Arapahoe County, Colo. near the city of Littleton, has been sold for single-family home development. The parcel was purchased through a company called Wild Plum Farm JV, and the purchase price is undisclosed.

The property has been under contract several times before, and Taylor Morrison and Toll Brothers have been involved in past development plans. The current builder appears to be CalAtlantic, which presented a development plan for 105 homes on the property in partnership with JPB Holdings.

According to this presentation, each home would be priced from $1 million to $2 million and above, and sit on half an acre of land. If built, this development plan would have the second-lowest density of any development in Littleton."

Castle Rock has decent value, but it has a couple big downsides.

1) Most of Castle Rock's water is from the underground aquifer, and as population grows the aquifer will be depleted and water will be increasingly difficult to obtain. That expense will be passed on to Castle Rock residents. The city is trying to switch to more sustainable water supplies, but they're about 50 years too late to the game to easily obtain surface water rights.

2) Castle Rock isn't a member of RTD and has very limited public transportation. Castle Rock residents have to pay $4 per day to park at park-and-rides, and unless Castle Rock does an about-face there isn't a snowball's chance in hell of light rail coming there.

The schools used to be a negative until voters sent the voucher advocates who controlled the school board packing.

Thanks. Yeah, and it lacks diversity which is important to me. With my budget, it is Castle Rock, Green Valley Ranch or Copper Leaf area.
