Rent in Castle Rock getting crazy
Alright, I've been here for 3 years and Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $143,031, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $1,946/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown

The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
