Littleton Co- what can you tell me

I don’t know what my budget is anymore, 2 days ago, I would have said 325 ish, LOL now.
Trying to be within a 30-45 min commute of Platte Canyon Reservoir seems like I gotta up my investment substantially, yet job doesn’t pay that much more. I like my current job ok, but hate where I live.

Ok, Franktown not a bad commute
