I live in the SW metro area, not Denver, but our neighborhood is certainly changing. The houses used to be full of middle-class families with kids, but the prices have gotten so high that the new buyers are well-off two-earner families with no kids. Those with kids send them to schools outside the neighborhood. The new homeowners are not involved with the community and certainly not with the local school. Nobody volunteers for anything. Old farms and ranches that surround the neighborhood are being developed with million dollar homes packed in 4 or 5 to an acre. Existing homes, when they sell, are being remodeled and made twice as big. We will certainly benefit if/when we ever sell, but our neighborhood is no longer the close community it once was.
