The one thing that I haven't really seen in theses comments regarding schools is you should find a home as close to the school of your choice as possible. The reason being is that HoCo is notorious for ridiculous school redistricting, e.g. you could have neighbors on a single street going to two different schools (one close and one far). Furthermore, even if you have one child going to one school, the sibling may be forced to attend a different school further away years later. Best of luck.
