Good and bad cities in Colorado?


Travel Info
I'm moving to Colorado from out of state and was wondering if someone could tell me a bit more about the neighborhoods. I want to be close to Denver, but not right in the middle of downtown. Most importantly I want to be in a very safe neighborhood. I've been to Castle Rock and Littleton and loved both of those areas, as well as Highlands Ranch. What's Englewood like? And what about some of the neighborhoods in Denver like Cherry Creek, Greenwood Village...? And what are the areas/cities that I should stay away from? Thanks!!

Travel Tips
Most of the suburbs (Aurora, Arvada, Centennial, Parker, Wheat Ridge, Westminster, Englewood, Littleton, Lakewood) are your typical middle-class suburbs, Aurora being the most "low-rent" of the group. The further south you go, the higher the real estate prices will be. The neighborhood of Cherry Creek is in the city itself and fairly high, as is Hilltop, south Park Hill and near DU. Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, etc. are going to be in the higher dollar range.

THANKS FOR THE INFO:
I would still recommend the Lowry, Stapleton, or south Park Hill neighborhoods. I'm probably a bit biased because I'm from around there, but they're good dog-walking communities and single-family homes range from around $250k-1 mil. so there's a variety. If price really isn't an issue, Cherry Creek and Greenwood Village houses are going to start in the $500k-$2 mil. range.

Move to Aurora. It is beautiful there. And it is close to Denver, and Aspen, and all the shopping malls... you'll love it!
Dont move here. The city was nicer when it wasn't being overrun by everyone and their dog. Sorry.
Fort Collins, college town on the foothills of the Rocky's 45 miles from Denver meaning you are relatively close other cities you mentioned. I think last year it was named one of the best places to live in America too. Big enough that it has malls and other things major cities provide but also is kinda small.
CRESTED BUTTE IS KICKKKASS, but its like an hour from denver i think, but its the cutest little hippie gone commercial you should check it out...
If money isn't an issue I'd go to Highlands Ranch. Nice houses and not a lot of crime. It's located about 30 min. from downtown Denver. There are a lot of parks and dog runs there. I love it!
At least it's not another Texican moving here.....
