[quote=Anonymous]Golden CO is nice, I have friends who moved there from DC and they are active in the community and are walking distance to the downtown area.  It has a small town feel. He commutes to Downtown Denver and she teleworks from home.  Golden is nice because it's close to the mountains, most of Denver is easily an hour away.  Of course, that also means you're at higher risk for wildfires.

There's also the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind in Colorado Springs.  You could probably rent a really affordable home within walking distance People tend to write Colorado Springs off because of all of the military/conservative/religious institutions here, but it's really a great place.  It is conservative, but as the local paper said during the 2008 Dem convention in Denver, there is a "chewy liberal center."  The west side of town and the town of Manitou Springs are definitely not conservative.  There also the Colorado College community.  We like it because it's just a more livable size of city, and you're closer to the mountains than you are if you live in most of the Denver area.  Great school and plenty of kids' activities.  There are actually quite a few people we've met who lived in the DC area previously, many because of military connections, but also lots of doctors, etc. who just wanted the lifestyle change.
