Newlyweds Bridget and Dave want to live in Boulder, Colorado, one of the most expensive communities in the state. They hope $400,000 will get them a three-bedroom, two-bath house with a big yard for their dog, but they soon discover that this price range doesn't offer many choices. Then, to make matters worse, they end up in a bidding war for a house they're not 100% in love with. When they lose that house, they eventually start to ask themselves: How many compromises must we make just to live in Boulder?
