Erin's Take
Erin Rose

"Douglas County is where families come when schools and space are the top priorities. It's a genuinely great place to raise kids — but buyers should be honest with themselves about the commute and the suburban lifestyle."

In Douglas County, the school district boundary can mean a $50K+ price difference on otherwise identical homes. Know the boundaries before you fall in love.
