I love living in Castle Rock. We are 15 minutes from the Denver Tech Center while being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I love being close to the mountains where I can go hiking, mountain biking and dirt biking. We are surrounded by trees and animals like deer, bob cats, coyotes, wild turkeys, rabbits, owls, hummingbirds and sometimes shy bears. Growing up in Alaska this also feels like home to me but there's way more to do!
