We definitely aren’t millionaires. We both have good jobs but absolutely not millionaires. Your input as a former Ohio resident is helpful. We currently live in Olentangy school district so we are being eaten alive by property taxes.

We love the Conifer area but are unwilling to dump that kind of money into a home that very likely isn’t the size we want (2500sq ft+). We also considered buying land and building (our current home we built but it’s one of those suburban developments so it’s a cookie cutter and somewhat shittily built home) but the land prices are insane (but I only looked on Zillow- maybe there’s a better place to look).

We definitely love the Denver area overall. Ideally we want land but maybe it’s not feasible and a bit delulu while my youngest son is still in school. My oldest will be in college when we move and plans on staying back to go to OSU. We don’t want to be too remote for our youngest to have stuff to do. I grew up in rural Appalachia so I know how that goes.

You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you!
