Doug works in the northwest Arvada southwest Broomfield area. So, that will be the search area for a new place to live.

Here is where Photoshop is a disadvantage- GIS would have been faster, easier, more accurate. But this was free- the GIS is a profession for someone and this info would have cost a lot.

Elementary schools with a high or better score, crossed with a proximity (but not including- because you can’t live in the middle of a park) to parks, trails and open space, with a deleted proximity to railroads.

Too bad it includes areas there are no houses, and I don’t have an overlay to delete the ones we can’t afford or ones that aren’t for sale. I also can’t delete any that don’t have a mountain view, don’t have 3+ bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, 2+ garage spaces, a basement, and need our special touch. I didn’t add crime data, or proximity to major roads.

I guess we will have to search it out by hand.

But Geordie could have. And all without leaving Engineering.
