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.

Being a real estate analyst, I know these things. Zip Code 80206 (Cherry Creek) is pretty much right in line with Stapleton in terms of price per square foot (even updated). Plus, Stapleton has MUCH higher property taxes. So, in essence...Stapleton is often more expensive (depending on the builder) per square foot. Wash Park doesn't even really have the school quality that Stapleton does. Seems to me the schools and the overall family orientation are what attracted you...not that you were actually priced out. No?
