Moving to Denver

Someone told me that in order to hunt in Colorado you have to win a hunting lottery.

You're about to move to one of the best places in the country to live imo. Congrats. You'll probably never leave.

Congrats, Denver is badass. Can't tell you much about those neighborhoods aside that I've hung out in both and had a great time. I imagine they're both on the more expensive side for the city if that's a concern

Lucky you!

That's awesome. I'm moving to Woodland Park just outside of Colorado Springs next month. Colorado is awesome

I've got a cousin who lives in Lakewood. Seems to be a decent middle class area.

honestly, you really need to know where you will be working before picking a place to live in Denver...I was there 15 years ago and the traffic was absolutely terrible...I would leave for work at 6 AM and it took 45 minutes to go a little over 9 miles to the office...

the traffic and cost of living coupled with me just not fitting into that culture very well really made me unhappy there...

flip side is that pretty much every aspect of the outdoors there is the absolute best...you can be standing in an icy stream fly fishing less than 45 minutes after you leave work. hunting and fishing is suprisingly accessible and flat enjoyable. the city has loads of bike paths to walk and ride bikes on. until I moved there, I really had no idea how much more comfortable a very dry climate is.

I have been gone too long to recommend places to live, but if you have any questions about things to do, just let me know.

I moved here six months ago, and have loved it. But of course, note that I'm finally settled, my company is sending back to Louisiana to run a project for the next 6-8 months. So I'm gone in 6 months. Luckily, they'll fly me back once a month, so I'll still get to do some camping in the summer.

Too bad your not here sooner, I'm his sublet my apartment just west of Highlands in Edgewater/Wheat Ridge.

The only thing I can say is, I hope you've got sooner money saved up and a good job lined up. Rent is insanely expensive here. The neighborhoods you mentioned have been gentrified, so expect to spend no less than $1100 on a one bedroom.

Traffic sucks a huge pole. It's at least as bad a Atlanta, maybe worse. But the fast growth here means there will be infrastructure work for years, so it's a good place for me. And this place is a huge, sprawled out suburb. My car started having big problems on the move over here, and it made it very tough to get around, even with skidr public transportation.

If you like weed, it's pretty amazing setup. They advertise weed in the back of independent local magazines. You can buy an ounce here cheaper than a quarter bag in the south.


Just remember, this city ain't cheap. Be ready for the sticker shock on rent, and almost everything else, except weed and burritos.

A well Doreen breakfast burrito with hatch green Chile sauce is absurdly delicious. Colorado and New Mexico's Mexican food is way better than any texmex or Cali
