Why Everyone HATES Living in Castle Rock Colorado !

[@susanhealey6331]

Best decision we made 10 years ago. What is your issue. Best place for families! How old are you? Have you been here? Think again!

[@cindyguest1278]

There are 3 on ramps to get into Castle Rock. There are also many places to eat with an abundance Stores for shopping. We have 2 King Soopers Locations, Sprouts, Natural Grociers, Whole Foods,, Sam's Club and Costco is projected to be completed in 2026. I have everything I need without having to travel fat to get. Castle Rock is a great place to live for any generation. Check out the summer events!

[@Sheahova]

“not too many places to shop or eat” lol there are 182 restaurants in castle rock

[@coloradoliving2228]

Compared to being within the e470 loop

[@Sheahova]

@@coloradoliving2228 yea e470 loop is 46 miles castle rock is 34 miles wide

[@ChurkGurk]

all the “restaurants” are just fast food/chain restaurants, what’s downtown is packed 24/7

[@nohlanfisherman5185]

No, there isn't. Stop lying bro

[@vickiescholl9453]

I love Castle Rock. It's a great town to live in. I don't want to live by the airport. I totally disagree with this woman.

[@coloradoliving2228]

I don’t hate castle rock. This is for people that don’t live there. There are negative just like all places. If you want to hear the positives check out some of my other videos 🙂

[@YouTubeAccount0000]

​@@coloradoliving2228Riiiight that's why you name your video "Castle Rock Sucks" just to get in views.

[@kygirl032006]

None of these are that bad. Growth and traffic happen everywhere. She just needs to live in the desert, alone to be happy apparently. 😅

[@JayMili1995]

Wolf ranch is an area I would like to go but I’m worried I can’t afford it. I make $140,000 a year and my girl friend makes 85k. Now we have expensive taste Hense wanting to move to wolf ranch. We like the modern look open concept around 3000 square feet. What can we afford in that area

[@coloradoliving2228]

Hi! Thanks for commenting. There is so much more that goes into finding out what you can afford. Especially debt and what interest rate you can get. But you both make a healthy amount combined so reach out and I’ll get you set up to find out what you can qualify for. 720-750-2234

[@henryserrano4002]

I was living in castle rock the last year, and I can confirm this video. I don't hate the city, but is true... Isn't a place for all the people.

[@flashback170]

I grew up in Castle Rock, when I was a kid it was so much smaller. Now I go down there and it feels like it's gotten to big, I miss it being a small truckstop kinda town

[@Xthebest_YT]

It feels like the winter is last forever and we just keep on getting snow

[@coloradoliving2228]

Lots of snow this year! I think it’s just getting packed and doesn’t have time to melt so we feel like it’s super snowy

[@jakesock58]

Snow is why a lot of us love Colorado

[@willh9769]

You didn't check colorado's weather...?

[@VuzeYT]

Id disagree everyone loves castle rock. The town is clean and rapidly growing. Much better than anywhere in metro area.

[@coloradoliving2228]

Castle rock is lovely very beautiful tons of people do like it there. In this video I just talk about the major reasons people don’t like it there. Pros and cons to every city! 🙂

[@Sheahova]

i wish it would stop growing yall movers forked it up

[@VuzeYT]

@@Sheahova I am native. An economy that is growing with new jobs, offices, homes is a positive to CO.

[@ChurkGurk]

there isn’t SHIT to do in castle rock

[@trashmail-x3v]

Sorry but you must be talking about a different Castle Rock. Because I actually live here and it's wonderful! Yes it's growing fast but many of your comments just aren't true. Traffic on the streets is rarely an issue. Going to restaurants, markets or places like Starbucks is also almost never an issue. The DMV (and all City departments) are amazing! Last renewal I literally walked in and was at the window in 5min without an appointment. The Cops and Fire Department here are extremely professional and actually treat citizens with respect. Sorry I just dont agree with you at all...

[@montanagal6958]

I have worked at the hospital in Castle Rock as an RN and would recommend it unlike it's sister facility in the Springs (overwhelmed with no staff)...

[@coloradoliving2228]

Good point thank you!

[@georgegier671]

No one is looking for a negative realtor. I understand there are cons to every location, but this is like complaining about paradise. Additionally, this realtor doesn't know what she's talking about.

[@zacharyellis4843]

living in CR last 7 yrs and it’s a wonderful community. Safe beautiful views decent night life. Quick drive to the city or springs. Its isolation has kept it safe from all the crazy in the world and should continue to do so for the foreseeable future. If your think on moving to CO Castlerock is a booming town

[@kutthewire9029]

My little brother was born in castle rock was the best hospital near Palmer lake

[@Hi..its..gabbyyy]

I love castle rock because everything is so close to you but the airports which is great bc I don't want to live near a airport

[@jatodd3746]

Lived in CR 20 years ago. Drove through it last month - could not even find some of the old roads it is so totally unrecognizable now.

[@rickj1983]

As one who grew up in Aurora (6th and 225 area - I remember as a kindergartener watching construction over 6th Ave for the new I-225 highway that didn't go south of Mississippi for a long time) and made Castle Rock home in 2015, I will give my take on this (like it or not). We like the fact that Castle Rock is 10 to 12 minutes south of Lone Tree because we aren't directly in the rat race. We like that bit of seclusion. We have seen tremendous growth, not all of which has been good. Seems like the City Planners forgot to include water usage when allowing more residentials units to be built. Where we live it's very quiet day and night. It's not cheap to live here but it's a nice town. There's always good and bad with every city. Everything I need is within 12 minutes of my house. I like here personally and plan to stay for at least the next 8 years. I've been back to Aurora and can honestly say there's no way I would live there again.

[@coloradoliving2228]

Thanks Rick! This is great info. I agree there are good and bad things to every city. Castle Rock is very beautiful and has so many great things but also has negatives. Thanks for being honest 🤗

[@billredding2000]

Even when I lived in Colorado Springs (left October 2022, but DO hope to go back in 2-3 years: When (if?) house prices AND mortgage interest rates drop), most people in the Springs didn't really have anything positive to say about Aurora. It's probably not as bad as Pueblo's "reputation" (not sure how the 2 compare exactly) but in the same ballpark, if you will "issues-wise." For me, Aurora is WAY down on the list of "suburb-towns" (around Denver) to live in -- and there are quite a few suburb-towns around Denver OTHER than Aurora to choose from. Part of it was due to Aurora's "diversity" (will leave it at that). Personally, I preferred the Ken Caryl Ranch area, but like most places in the Denver metroplex (Boulder especially so) house prices were beyond my reach...but can say the same for new/newer home prices in most of Colorado Springs, too, given CO is a bit expensive nowadays, and apartment rentals are quite high as well. Wouldn't want to live in Boulder OR Denver really mainly because they're heavily liberal. As for Parker, it's pretty expensive as well. As for Castle Rock (leans conservative), I've been there MANY times (like the Red Hawk area) and I wouldn't mind living there, but again, crazy-high/inflated house prices don't make that feasible. Still, I could tolerate higher prices to a reasonable degree, but NOT the higher interest rates we're seeing now (a $0 down/30-year fixed VA loan is 6.868% presently), as that adds $600-700 MORE per month on a mortgage pay't (for my pricing bracket of "up to $450K" homes) -- don't want to pay that. And I'm just talking about new/newer town-homes/carriage homes, not new/newer single-family/detached homes (too expensive for my income level -- woudl need $600K just to start looking). And no, I wouldn't want to "buy now and refinance later" -- as some real estate agents/brokers advise -- because I'd have to ask exactly WHEN would interest rates drop ENOUGH to make it clearly worth refinancing? Another year? Two years? Who knows...but I don't want to be OVERPAYING by said $600-700 each month as I wait 1-2 years (or longer!) to refinance -- I'd be too stressed knowing I'm "wasting" that kind of money on an over-priced house and inflated mortgage. Not to mention adding monthly HOA or Covenant fees...ALL of which would reduce my monthly discretionary/disposable income (cash on hand) to where it became "uncomfortable." ;-) If I'm able to go back to CO (in 2-3 years) I'll likely be looking to return to the Springs -- not sure Castle Rock has that many town-homes, or even carriage homes newer or being built now. Am in (cheaper) West TX presently using the time here to "regroup" financially to be in a better position to BUY vs. rent in the future...when (by that time) I HOPE housing is more affordable (for most of us). But I need to see mortgage interest rates drop BIG-time first. -- BR

[@kari_blueberry3252]

I was born and raised in Castle Rock I love my hometown maybe not be a realtor if you if your opinion is to talk negative about a beautiful place to live.

[@coloradoliving2228]

I have lots of amazing things to say about it. But there are negatives to every city and every state! You have to be transparent with people who have never been there before.

[@Sheahova]

i’ve probably seen you I have lived there since 2000 and my parents since 198

[@Optimus-Prime-Rib]

@@Sheahovasince 198? They are old AF!

[@jybrokenhearted]

​@@coloradoliving2228 Do you have any problems with the Mexican drug cartels that work out Colorado?

[@kylescovers9833]

Lonetree , Parker 30 to 45 minutes?? I can get to either location in 10 minutes. Heck I can get to Downtown Denver in 40 minutes. You’re recommending Elizabeth? That’s even another 30 minutes away from everything. Have you even been to CR? Lol Traffic outside of 125 THERE IS NO TRAFFIC . No much shopping? We only have one of this biggest outlets in the State. Hard to find eat places, long commute to the grocery store or Starbucks. We have hundreds of local dine dining and eateries. You clearly no nothing about our home town!!

[@coloradoliving2228]

Sorry you’re mad :/ people come to my channel for my opinion 🙂 I have been to castle rock many times! And depending on where in Castle Rock it does take about 30 mins to get to lone tree. Check it out on google maps 👍🏻

[@Xoxocheer14]

I love it here it’s amazing !!

[@coloradoliving2228]

It’s definitely a beautiful place!

[@sag6310]

Nine years and hated every minute of it.

Bummer! Where are you now?

[@Whitemoon379]

How bout Arvada?

[@cupcakemcgee3175]

Castle rock is the new California and it starting to show.

[@coloradoliving2228]

Definitely has its pros and cons ! Wouldn’t say it’s to that level yet though

[@Moolacious]

Pronounce it correctly. Commiefornia Lol

[@Sheahova]

please stop coming here dumb forks moving here ruined the chill vibes of this city

[@Whitemoon379]

Damn

[@Cwo30]

Just moved FROM Castle Rock after living there for 8 years. Had homes in both Crystal Valley and Terrain and couldn’t wait to leave. Decent restaurants, and great location but the rudest, stuck up and entitled people I’ve ever been around. Youth sports and schools are a joke, home prices are ridiculous. Apparently crime is on the rise because I found this video looking for the news story about the Rock Liquors break in and the rock throwing downtown.

[@kirksatter4845]

It's not bad born and raised here

[@jakbo_]

Agreed

[@leefritsche1765]

The location is not bad. 45 minutes is nothing. I lived in Katy and drove to the Houston Galleria area everyday for years! It’s what you do. You seem very negative for a realtor.

[@coloradoliving2228]

I’m not sure what you mean “for a realtor” I’m HONEST on the negatives of living somewhere. If you mean not all Realtors are honest then you’d be correct lol Of course the video about the negatives of an area would be negative. If you want the positives check out my other videos 🙂

[@DD-du7nm]

Wow. You seem to think everyone wants to hang out in Denver. Maybe people move to Castle Rock to get away from certain types of people.

[@coloradoliving2228]

I don’t want to hang out in Denver 👋🏻 I hate downtown. But I just am giving the cons to people that’s all 🙂 I have a video about the pros too!

[@jasonbentley439]

Lol this is exactly why I’m moving to castle rock. I want nothing to do with Denver, but I’m super excited to get to know the Colorado Rockies

[@Thatlocogringo]

I lived there and loved it!!

[@coloradoliving2228]

It’s a beautiful place !

[@savoirfaire5460]

that place used to be a speed trap

[@coloradoliving2228]

I could imagine especially when it was smaller.

[@kirksatter4845]

You must be the reason there's so much traffic 50mins to Denver from castle Rock that's overacting

[@coloradoliving2228]

Not really. But if you need EXACT TIMES… from heart of DT denver to castle rock is exactly 42 minutes. Thank you!

[@UnderATwilightSky]

This is a very negative video and doesn't reflect an accurate assessment of the town.

[@coloradoliving2228]

Thank you for your comment. This isn’t my opinion of the town. I think it’s very beautiful in fact. But this video is just about the negatives. I also have a video about pros too if you want to check it out!

[@Sheahova]

the town has taken a dive since i have lived here in the early 2000s

[@khudson4901]

Label - Bedroom Community, detached from anything within 30 miles. Not sure if public transportation is there. HOA Cookie cutter community. If you have to ask price, then you can't afford Castle Rock.

[@coloradoliving2228]

Thank you! Not sure if you read the title. It’s about cons 🙂 but if you want to hear the positives you can watch the one where I talk all about the pros!

[@Moolacious]

Biggest issue with CR is they took a note from towns like Parker and Highlands Ranch. The city destroyed it's land (zoning is horrible) over taxed its resources (water, electric), poor city management/ elected officials, the police department is a joke (CR has made an appearance with SCOTUS), a lot of Karen's have moved into the area and the biggest issue, 60% of the people around here drive 10 mph below the speed limit cuz they're implants from places like commiefornia. It's sad to see what greed from a few can do to what once was a great smallish town to live in. Side note, our fire department is amazing so there's that lol

[@coloradoliving2228]

Thank you! All good things to know. It is really beautiful in CR but all cities have some cons

[@paulcordova1531]

Just moved here from Aurora out of necesity not choice. Used to live here in the 90s, now its overgrown, overpriced and I allready got into a road rage incident. Oh and no dispensaries😩

It's congested and snooty.

[@ChurkGurk]

yeah any place is constantly packed and the people here suuuuck

[@Sheahova]

californians and texans ruined the traffic don’t lie

[@coloradoliving2228]

Sorry you feel that way. It’s not really a specific state it’s because Colorado wasn’t mean to take on the max influx of people over the last few years.

[@Sheahova]

@@coloradoliving2228 agreed on that. I just dunno the whole mentality of the city changed especially on the outlet mall side of town. People are way more uptight and needy vs 12 years ago it bugs me but that happens when there is a mass influx of people. They act entitled vs kind and respectful and chill. As they say all good things must come to an end.

[@audiluvr9000]

castle rock is great for rich snobby racists, no one bikes or walks unless it’s for leisure, no one helps unless it’s a nieghbor or someone from their church. the lack of real community and respect for others is beyond belief, and if there is respect it’s only to those who work white collar. i’ve done a social experiment and it’s very sad how most people in the town treat others who make less money than them. It’s growing more and more grouchy and snobby and full of karen’s who call the police on the most ridiculous things. most people drive cars 15 years old or newer, you have less freedom than any other county or state, you’re not allowed to register a car unless it passes emissions, so those who fought and died for our freedom died for nothing because here you don’t even have it. and overall most in castle rock would rather point a finger, laugh, or call the police rather than actually talk about an issue or help each other. i’ve been here for 20 years and it gets worse and worse every year. very sad and helpless town full of self absorbed, charitable when it only benefits them, and greedy individuals. i’ll delete my comment when the humanity is shown in my home town otherwise. it’s sad i get treated better in other states and towns, but people here won’t even wave hello when they drive by or clench their dog when they see someone with dirty clothes walking by. absolutely disgusting city, and for the few who actually have a little humanity, thank you, you’re the small 20% that still have heart and spirit may God bless this town and you regardless of what kind of person you are
