Let's omit the shit out there, i.e. the housing stock that hasn't been updated in 50 years, and the neighborhoods where the schools produce the masses known affectionately as the "common man. If you do that, the price per sq/ft for Stapleton is a hell of a lot more attractive.

You want a decent school in Central Denver you're looking at Wash Park, Platte Park, Cherry Creek, etc (the Highlands isn't there yet, but it's coming as the gentrification wave's babies start hitting school age). That's pretty much the comparable that has to be made when looking at Stapleton.
