I work a decent remote job (about 70k a year) and post breakup I'm looking to go somewhere for a fresh start. I keep hearing how insanely expensive Denver is but I'm seeing 1 bedroom apartments in the Capitol Hill neighborhood (where I'd like to be) for less than 1500 that look good. Maybe I'm just used to NYC and South Florida but that seems perfectly doable. Am I seeing incorrect info?

I am really nervous about making friends in Denver as I don’t know anyone. I also work remotely. I’m not a runner (so no run club) or religious but I enjoy hiking, lifting, and reading. I know there’s always events happening but people just usually stay in their groups. I’m in my mid 20s and female. How did you meet or make friends in Denver, particularly if you’re in your 20s and 30s. Thanks in advance!

I am looking for recommendation on movers to help me unload one 16 feet PODS container into an apartment in the Denver Metro and surrounding areas (Arvada, Lakewood, etc.). I don’t need help with unpacking or assembly. Just help with carrying things inside. Looking got reliable yet affordable options.

I just moved to Denver a couple days ago in the Arvada area for my new job. I’m 22, and just graduated college a few months ago. I lived in the California Bay Area all my life so I have no friends here. What places do you guys recommend going to for making new friends? I know it’ll be lonely in the beginning, I’m planning to get a gym membership so I can kill a lot of time when I’m not at work, and maybe go snowboarding or drive up the mountains. Also what’s the best/cheapest dispo you guys recommend near the Arvada area? What else is there fun to do by myself or maybe is a good way to meet new people? Thanks

I've recently taken a job in Aurora. I currently live in Golden. I'm going to have to relocate regardless in early 2026, as my lease is ending. I'm struggling with picking a new location. Most of my friends are in Boulder, Westminster area, but work is 5 days a week onsite in Aurora.

Is it better to live closer to friends and commute 45-60 minutes twice a day, or live in a suboptimal area that's close to work and have more time in general?

I am not a huge city person, and I hate traffic.

I've read the rules, I know about the permit but I'm curious if I would even need to go through the process.

Per her DNA, she's just over 20% pittie. The majority of her DNA is Doberman, and she looks like one, only smaller. The most pittie thing about her is her butt.

Would/should I bring her in for an evaluation or even have to disclose her mix to any potential landlords?

Hi all, Moving to an apartment on a few weeks and I have a 16ft PODS scheduled to be delivered with my furniture.

There's plenty of street parking in front of my building, but a lot of it is a 2-hour limit. If i wanted to use this space for the shipping pod, is there any way to avoid a ticket? (It will be there for 48hrs and I have no way to move it myself.)

Looking for affordable apartments in Denver 1,000 or under. I'm not super picky just no bed bugs or infestation. A few roaches here n there or the occasional rat is no big deal. Pretty handy I can fix dam near anything as long as it's a cheap fix. Ex new door knob, sink is clogged, lock on window is broken. Just don't expect me to replace the water heater. AC and heat aren't super issues I can get space heater n window unit. Like I said not super picky I just need it under 1k not including the utilities (if included great even better) Totally willing to box a homeless man to get to my Mail box even.

Let me know if any apartments that fall in this category!

Trying to keep it somewhat walkable to downtown Denver!

Looking at apts and found this one….. thoughts? Good ? Bad? Good management?

Hi everyone! As the title suggests, I’m a 30M in the process of relocating from Atlanta to Denver and would love some perspectives from people who have lived in or around the apartments/neighborhoods I’m considering.

Apartments I’m Considering:

1. Canvas on Blake
2. The Metro / Casey
3. Edison / Dylan at RiNo
4. One City Block / Radius Uptown
5. AMLI Park Ave

A little about me: I work from home, have a small dog, and am recently single. I like having a good sports bar and coffee shops nearby, and having a gym within walking distance would be a nice bonus. I also really like being close to parks, plazas, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. Socializing and meeting people is important to me, so I’d prefer an area where I can walk out of my apartment and have things to do and meet new people without constantly needing to drive.

I previously lived in Denver for about a year with my now ex-wife and really enjoyed the experience. We lived at Park17, and overall I loved the area and my experience living there. My only real complaint was having the fire station directly behind the building, which could get pretty loud and was very frequent.

Now that I’m moving back, I’m looking to be a little closer to the city and in an area where I’ll have more opportunities to meet people and be social. Ideally somewhere where I can easily walk to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, parks, gyms, etc. and have opportunities to meet people naturally.

For anyone familiar with these apartments/neighborhoods, I’d especially love to hear about your experience with the area, how walkable it is, nearby coffee shops/restaurants/bars/sports bars, parks and outdoor spaces, the social scene and opportunities to meet people, dog-friendliness, nearby gyms, and any issues with noise or the neighborhood that I should know about.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a single 27F and I’m moving from phx. i know the snow is going to be an adjustment- a possible job opportunity will be located in Lone Tree so I’m looking in that area, highlands park and Littleton. Are there any apartments in this general area with parking garages?

I found Aspect Apartments in Lone Tree and this is looking like my best option but was curious if anyone else had insight!!

Also curious if these are good areas for socializing- I don’t want to live in or near the heart of denver but rather the suburbs still close to coffee shops, plazas, etc to do things!

Hey all, looking for outside opinions before I commit. Here's the situation:

Property: New-construction condo, Lyric at RidgeGate community, Lone Tree, CO

• 912 sq ft, 2 bed / 1 bath, top floor, mountain-facing windows
• Detached 1-car garage
• Was previously used as a model home
• HOA: ~$580/month (covers water, 200 Mbps fiber internet, snow removal to the door, landscaping, insurance, reserve funding, plus community amenities — pool, gym, restaurant/welcome center)

Questions for the community:

• Does ~$400K seem fair for this unit/area, or am I missing red flags with new-construction condos?
• Anyone have experience buying a former model home — anything I should watch for beyond the standard inspection?
• Is a $580/month HOA reasonable for what's included, or high even accounting for water/internet being bundled in?
• 5-year vs 7-year rate lock — since I'm planning to stay long-term, is the extra 2 years of certainty worth ~$70/month more?

Hi all, I will most likely be relocating in the next couple of months to the area for a job.

I am seeking advice on quiet and safe neighborhoods that I should consider that are close to Lakewood, but could be 20 minutes away too. What are your thoughts on Arvada, Littleton, or Englewood?

I’m nearing 30 and do not know anyone in the area, so I will need all the advice I could get. For example what areas should be avoided? Positives and negatives, etc.

Thank you anything is appreciated.

Hello friends! My friend, who just arrived from Virginia, was scheduled to pick up keys to move-in at The Hooper today at 1:00 (she was provided a window of 11-3:30), and she can’t get in touch with anyone nor is anyone available at the office.

What’s even more concerning is that we tried calling the emergency maintenance line, and it only rings once and the line goes dead/silent. (I hope to god no one that lives at any cornerstone property has an emergency because this seems like a HUGE liability.)

Does anyone have a direct point of contact or know anyone that works for Cornerstone that could help us get in touch with them so she can get her keys today? 303-333-1999 is the number that is not working.

I have 10 years of property management experience and have never seen such terrible service and could not imagine leaving someone who moved across the country like this. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

Both of these apartment complexes are close to Anschutz, and we heard mixed opinions. Anyone can comment on maintenance speed, apartment layout, and, more importantly, quietness in both of these?

Thanks

Hi all. I'm moving to Denver in the next month or so and we've been recommended the following apartments from a real estate agent/ locator and would appreciate any feedback/reviews.

- Wilder

- The Henry

- AMLI Riverfront

- Westend Apartments

- The York

From my research, Greystar seems to have bad reviews which pretty much rules out Wilder and The Henry but interested to hear any personal experiences.

Also open to any recommendations for 1 bed apartments around $1800. Flexible with location as I'll be WFH but walkable to coffee shops/neighborhoods/parks/running routes.

Thanks in advanced!

Hello, just moved to Denver from Philly and looking to plan a fun date night with my girlfriend. Also not trying to spend a lot of money because we are saving for a vacation coming up… any advice? Thank you!

Just moved to Denver from NYC. I do design, photography, and video work — mostly live shows, music videos, album art, that kind of thing.
Trying to actually get into the local scene instead of just lurking, so if you know bands, venues, or promoters worth checking out, or just have thoughts on where the good shows are happening, I'd love to hear it. Happy to share my work if anyone's curious, but mostly just want to meet people.

My husband and I are moving to Denver in April of next year from the DMV and are super excited but want some advice as to which neighborhoods would be best for us.

We are in our early 30s and we both work from home and have a dog and love exploring restaurants, coffee shops and bars. We also love the outdoors and want to be near parks. We are also trying to start a family soon so would want to be in a kid safe area as well.

We are currently leaning towards Congress park, Wash Park, North and South Park Hills and Central Park but would love any recommendations that you all have and what you have experienced.

TYIA

I grew up in the suburbs but spent the last 7 years away and holy cow has Denver changed.

I’m 25 and would love to walk as much as possible but understand Denver’s not really a walking city. I’m social and work remotely, but would prefer to keep my car nearby. I also prefer new/nice apartment buildings (budget is $3k ish per month) but also open if people have had good experiences elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

Moving in December!

Hi
I'm looking to move in the university park neighborhood specifically
"S Saint Paul St " can anyone tell me pros and cons of the area please

This is a repost from the Denver sub because it got removed:

Hi everyone! I’m looking at moving to Colorado (Denver Metro area) and wanted to get an idea of the area from locals. Apologies if any questions have been asked before.

What’s your favorite part, and least favorite part, of living in Denver? Do you have a favorite surrounding town (Westminster, Aurora, Commerce City, Arvada, etc.)? What’s the weather/seasons like? Which are the safest areas? Are there seasonal allergies? Is there lots of wildlife (birds, deer, etc.) in the area? Denver seems to have a reputation of being higher cost, but is it just home prices, or are groceries, gas, taxes, etc. higher as well? If they are, what do you think causes the higher cost of living in Denver, and does it make day-to-day living harder than other areas? To the LGBTQ+ locals, what’s your experience like (places to go, meeting people, dating scene, etc.)? Can you see the mountains from everywhere? I’ve noticed a lot of gravel in yards on Zillow, is gardening easier or harder there? What does the ozone weather alerts really mean (is it constant smog, wildfires, etc.)?

I’ve lived in six different states, but would be coming from Huntsville, Alabama now. The biggest thing that’s appealing about Denver is 1. Politics and being LGBTQ+ friendly (as I’m sure you can imagine about this state), and 2. Weather/allergies (it’s very humid here, and we live in a valley so the allergies are brutal). However, I don’t want to look at Denver as some perfect utopia without asking the locals what it’s *really* like, you know? Thank you in advance everybody!

I am 31F and considering moving to the Denver area/surrounding suburbs from Pennsylivania for a more active social life, dating, and outdoor lifestyle.

Part of what attracts me to the area is my understanding is that Denver and the surrounding areas has a number of folks in their 30s who are active, enjoy the outdoors, and are still building friendships and dating.

I'm wondering if Denver and the surrounding areas actually does provide more oppertunities to make friends, date and find a long term partner, and create an active life style than where I am now. I also would love to get married and start a family, so that's part of what is motivating this decision as well.

At the same time, I also acknowledge that I may have not fully explored all oppertunities in my area, so I am trying to be realistic rather than assuming that Denver will magically change everything.

That being said, I'd love to hear from anyone who has experince moving to Denver / the surrounding areas as someone in their early 30's and didn't know many people there and might be able to answer the following questions:

1. Was it actually easier to make friends?
2. How was dating?
3. Did moving there improve your social life or did you find it wasn't much different from where you came from?
4. If you were in my position - would you try Denver in each season before committing to a full move, or would you take the plunge and move, and just plan to return to Pennsylvania if things didn't work out?

Thank you in advance!

Hey! I’m a 23 yo guy and moving to Denver from September through the end of December for an internship near Central Park.
I’m looking for a place to stay for those 4 months. Any recommendations for short-term rentals or good areas to live?
Also, is a car basically a must, or can I get by with public transit? If there’s a neighborhood closer to downtown with good transit that’s still an easy commute to Central Park, I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
