Trail Ready
We just moved from North East Denver/Park Hill to Golden two months ago for more space. The market is crazy, it's the 2nd most competitive in the nation right now. Homes are selling the weekend they are listed, even with covid. We listed our home and received multiple offers above asking the first day. We had to make multiple offers on homes, one we loved and thought was fairly priced went $100k over asking and a cash offer. It's super competitive in the $450-750k range, which is absolutely bananas. Denver metro's average home price just hit $640k.
We ended up in Golden and love it. We're technically in unincorporated Jefferson County, Applewood, which is pretty close to Stevinson Toyota (I can finally make it to club meetings now!). Schools are great and we're only 15 minutes from downtown and closer to the mountains and close freeway access. We got way more bang for our buck out here compared to Park Hill, and significantly more space for the same price. We have a teenager and considered Cherry Creek as they have the best schools in the area, but the commute was a killer to downtown, though you're close to DTC. I feel like traffic is worse even in just the last couple of years.
Justin and Kristen Andersen were our realtors and were absolutely amazing, zero hesitations using them. They live in the Cherry Creek school district in Centennial and know the area intimately, but also do a lot in Parker and know the area well. Those seem to be best areas for families, we just wanted to be closer to the city since we both work downtown. We also lived near Stapleton and they have great schools and are a good commute with tons of families, you'll see throngs of kids in the many parks and green spaces they have. But the lots are microscopic and barely any room to work on cruisers.

Good luck with the move!
