Hey everyone, my husband and I will be moving into our new home in Castle Rock next year, and I’d like to get recommendations for reputable companies that install and service whole house water softener systems in the area.

I’d also love to hear about your experience with said systems, and what it takes to maintain them. And I was also curious about whether relying on the filtered water from the refrigerator would be enough for drinking and cooking or if it would be necessary to also install a separate water filter by the kitchen sink. I’m REALLY trying to avoid that, since those faucets are imo pretty hideous.

Also, these systems soften the water before it ever reaches the indoor plumbing and appliances, thereby sparing you a lot of damages to everything down the road, yes?

Thanks to all of you in advance! 🙏

Hey everyone, I’m wondering where to get the best bagels in the Castle Rock area. We’re moving from Florida where great NY style bagels are available freshly baked at our local TooJays Deli. The ones there are so authentic… (sigh), I’m not sure we’ll we’ll approximate that level of greatness, but I’ll settle for really good! Thanks in advance for your help!

For context, let me add that I plan on planting Spartan Juniper along the three sides of the yard which are considered highly deer resistant. Plus in time they will grow to over 8’ tall, which they won’t be able to jump over at all. So the only vulnerable spots would be the gates on the side yards that would be limited to 4’ high, and obviously can’t have an immovable obstruction behind them to keep deer out. Has anyone figured out a way to overcome this dilemma? Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate any suggestions!

What new retailers and restaurants would the people of Castle Rock like to see in Dawson Trails when it opens? My vote would be for a Trader Joe’s and a new Target. Target might be a stretch since there’s one close, but I’d love some suggestions from people on how to nudge TJ’s into considering that location for a future store. Other than my two though, what businesses are you guys hoping to see at Dawson Trails?
