Kids grow in Leadville for sure, you kidding me? Sure you won't be growing any outdoor but you're crazy to think people aren't living there just to grow herb in an affordable town. Definitely a really old town. Most of the houses are old mine shacks that have had additions every 20 years or so. Really cool town if that's what you're looking for, lot's of character and crazy locals. For legitimate work you WILL be driving to Summit County or Vail just like a previous poster said.
