So I'm gonna be moving to the Denver area in about 6 months from NYC. My wife really doesn't want to leave NYC but I think i'm done with the east coast for now. She's afraid that Denver (Highlands ranch, Parker, Centennial, ect) are gonna be just like Utah and she is kind of dreading it. She really likes the diversity of NYC and is obviously sad that we are moving. I'm actually cool living in a homogeneous society but how close is south Denver to a Utah feel?

Also is there a place in the Denver area where there are good schools, decent homes, and where you might be the only LDS family on the street?

FYI - I'll be traveling all over the Denver area for work so commute really isn't an issue. It's a bunch of travel for me no matter where we live.
