I’m a nurse and since RNs are in demand, I can pretty much get a job anywhere and want to pick the best place in the country for my 2 kids (4 year old boy and a 6 year old girl). I saw Fort Collins was Ranked ‘One of the Best Places to Raise Your Kids’ by Business Week and ‘2nd Best Place to Live’ by Money magazine.
Can anyone comment on that? Are there good parts of Fort Collins or bad parts I should know about? Are some schools better than others? My kids are into swimming and I like to ride my bike. Are there good pools? Good trails? Anyone grow up in Fort Collins and can comment on that?
Thank You for any help!! I really appreciate any advice! 
BTW I can afford about $250,000 for a house…will that get me into a good neighborhood?
Is Fort Collins a good place to raise kids??

Tony is right about all that Fort Collins has to offer for Kids, I have worked with Several families that have moved to Fort Collins just because of the Schools and their National Rankings.
