Is Wheaton a nice town?
I'm looking to pick up a bargain condo to live the single lifestyle in the burbs. Parker and Highlands Ranch look nice online (they seem to have good Methodist churches there; the Parker church is brand-new). But, what does anyone think of Wheaton as a town? I'm ready to leave behind the humidity and hurricane zones of Florida in exchange for some Aspen trees (which I also enjoyed when living in Idaho; however Boise, Idaho, no longer has cheap condos). And, the Florida taxes, high condos fees, and special development district fees can quickly drag a single girl to the poorhouse! So is it Wheaton, Parker, or ? ...name a town and I'll look it up.

I don't think there is a Wheaton, CO. Where do you see it?

There is no Wheaton in the great state of Colorado.
There is, however, a Wheaton, Illinois which is very nice, lovely, faith-filled, etc., etc, etc.
Parker's not too shabby, either.

There is also a Wheaton in MD - Maybe the OP meant Wheat Ridge?

does anyone like Parker, CO?
Looking for any comments on Parker, CO, general affordablity and getting to and from the job market, is it a total nightmare to commute? Is there enough to do in Parker without driving to Denver on weekends for entertainment and shopping? Feedback welcome.  Thanks! |

Parker is an upscale town, expensive houses, but there are some affordable ones. Theres lots of shopping centers...as far as entertainment goes....Theres a few bars...and a theater or two but thats it. The majority of entertainment is in Denver/Aurora general area. also the main road in and out of Parker (Parker Road) Is a nightmare if you will be going to work during the rush hour. There is also E-470 (a toll road) to get you to I-25 fast. Hope this helps...im young so parker is NOT for me.
