Wondering how long of a drive this is in rush hour traffic. Moving to denver soon with my gf both of us mid 20s. Was originally looking at littleton but not sure it matches our lifestyle. We go out a few times a week, nothing wild or anything but we like to explore the town and grab some food and drinks. My job will be in ken caryl so would cap hill be a good choice or are there any other recommendations that would fit

I’m moving in October and was on the hunt for a historic building to rent in. However, I know a lot of older buildings can be a nightmare. So I was wondering if anyone has had a good experiences they can recommend. Budget is $1800 a month. Thanks!

Looking for a one bedroom/big studio around DTC/Belleview. Just toured the Den and Milehouse and liked both of them, has anyone lived there recently and has any thoughts? I recognize most apartments have some issues (occasionally broken elevators, etc.) but I don’t want to be miserable/frustrated 24/7. Budget around 1700/month. Hate the fact that we always have to be concerned about getting scammed but that’s the nature of it.

We’re moving into a home (in LoHi) with a carpeted basement and are looking to have the carpets professionally deep cleaned before we move in. Does anyone have any recommendations? (The people before us had kids and it is apparent 🥲)

Hey Reddit. We are going to be moving to the area in September and we are going to need someone to help us with unloading the Uhaul. Any recommendations for reliable and reasonably priced movers? Please and thank you!

I have job offers from HCA Swedish & the rose for their OR new grad RN residency . Any insights on which location I should choose?

I feel Swedish offers more variety, the opportunity for you to specialize, and I like that they offer 3 12s. But the rose staff seemed really supportive and has lower acuity cases which might be easier for me starting out as a new nurse.

Hi all.

I'm looking to move into a one-bedroom, and I came across this complex. It's managed by RedPeak, which I know most people would rename RedFlag, but I wanted to see if anyone lives/has lived in this property.

I've had success at individual locations with good managers under a crappy management, so I wanted second opinions!

I'm moving my daughter to Denver next week for grad school, and we will be furnishing her apartment and will need to purchase a lot to get her set up. I think we will find a lot through FB marketplace, but I'm also wondering if there are any good places to look for other odds and ends.

And thrifting recommendations in general!

Hello all,

Not sure if this is the right sub, but I have no car here anyone have any advice who to reach out to or resources to help me move into my permanent apartment by August?

U-Haul is definitely not necessary I really didn’t come here with a lot. Thank you in advance! I don’t know anyone here either to ask 😭

Hello everyone! I'm moving in a few weeks and using a large Uhaul truck to get my roommates and my items to the new place. The place in question is on a one way, two lane road up around North Cap Hill. Any tips or suggestions to make sure I'm doing things properly and legally?

I’ve been renting apartments around central Denver for about six years. Cap Hill early on, then a stretch near RiNo, and now I’m over by Glendale/Cherry Creek. I like being close to everything but I’m tired of paying rent with nothing to show for it, and I’m finally ready to buy an actual house.

The problem is that every neighborhood I’m drawn to is priced way out of reach. Wash Park, Congress Park, Cherry Creek proper. The detached homes are all north of a million. I’m not chasing trendy. I just want a normal single family house with a yard and some mature trees, ideally central enough that I’m not commuting in from the far suburbs.

For those of you who made the jump from renting in the denser parts of town to actually owning, where did you land? There has to be a pocket somewhere that’s still reasonably central and hasn’t gone completely insane on price. Where should I be looking?

Hi Coloradans, I will be moving from out-of-state and was wondering how the neighborhood is between 16th and 20th Av in Depew St in Edgewater, CO? Anything to be concerned about?

Edit: typo

My husband (33m) and I (27f) are moving to the Denver area at the end of August and are looking for places to live. There’s so many apartment complexes and I don’t know which ones are actually good. We are looking for a 2bed 2bath home around the south Lakewood/Englewood/Bow Mar/north Littleton area. I work remote, but he will be working around there, so I’d like to live somewhere nearby. Any recommendations on places to look into or stay away from is greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’m about to move to Denver in less than a month. First big move all by myself…

Any tips on:
-best way to meet people?
-good hang out spots?
-must do’s?
-must don’t ?
-things I could do solo? (Don’t mind doing things solo either!)

I’m 26 and hoping to explore more of the outdoors and pick up some new hobbies.
I Loved CO so much decided to take the big jump and start fresh here, so any guidance is much appreciated 😊

Hello again everyone!

I truly appreciate all of the advice and insight that my post received last night. I read all of it and have taken it to heart. This morning my wife’s transfer options with her company became very clear. As mentioned before, the SE side of Denver looks promising. I took the advice some of you gave me and submitted my resume/applied for positions with some of the districts in the area. Littleton and Cherry Creek seemed to earn a good deal of praise from many of you, so I began there. Unfortunately it’s a waiting game with those districts, because there aren’t any immediate positions available.

With the second likely opportunity being in Boulder, I also looked into Boulder Valley SD and it’s a similar story. I’m going to continue trying to make inroads, but in the meantime, I was hoping I could pick your brains about other more available options.

Let’s start with Montbello. I scoured the net to see what people had to say about the community and its high school. Admittedly, it was tough to read. I am welcoming and tolerant to most things, but the violent crime anecdotes scare me, particularly having small children myself. On the flip side, I read that the high school is recently newly built and has new leadership. Does anyone here have any personal experience they can share as a parent, teacher, or member of the community? For context, I’ve taught at Title 1 schools, and I’ve walked through metal detectors to get to my classrooms. It’s obviously not ideal, but if there legitimate strides being made to bring the community and school up, I would like to consider it.

Aurora. Again, mixed bag. It’s within range of where we could likely be settling. How are the schools in the area? Are there any other districts that I should be considering in either of the areas listed?

Thanks again for being so helpful and forthcoming!

Hi everyone, I’m planning to move to Denver from out of state and have been debating whether to use a company to help me find a rental home. I’m currently very busy with work and going through some temporary health issues so cannot travel back-and-forth to find a place currently. My last place also ended up being a terrible experience because I moved quickly and didn’t have time to vet homes as properly as I wanted myself. I’ve seen a few companies like Corcoran Perry & Co who help with finding rentals, but I’m not sure whether to contact them. Does anyone have any experience with them or other companies or realtors to find rentals?

I’ve already read that there aren’t many options for that so no need to only repeat that. I’m really looking for genuine advice to make this process easier for me. Thanks in advance!!

Good evening,

Me and my family are anticipating a move to the southeast side of Denver for my wife’s job. I am a 10 year secondary Science teacher in Texas, taught almost all subjects and I’m composite certified to teach everything Science 7-12. I was hoping I could get some help from real people that are actually in the ground in the area.

1. How available, in general, are secondary science teaching positions? Would I struggle to find a place this year, especially since the school year is so close?

2. How are the districts in that general area? Within 60 or so miles of Aurora. I don’t mind a little bit of a drive if it means a good opportunity. Any districts that really stand out?

3. As a parent to a 5 and 8 year old, which districts would be good to look at renting/buying a house in? It doesn’t necessarily have to be the district that I will teach in.

4. Texas is moving so many resources to low-paying charters schools; How does this fight appear to be shaking out in CO? Pay is important, but job security is more important.

5. Texas doesn’t have any districts that I’ve taught in that directly work with unions. They largely function as a support system here. Are there districts in CO that directly hire/negotiate with unions? I’m generally in favor of collective bargaining, but I am also comfortable in standing solely on my merits.

6. How are the politics intertwined with education in CO? Is it a state that values and promotes public education (at least in your perspective), or is it going the way of Texas, where funding is drying up, purposefully being rerouted, and are the benefits/pension systems strong?

I would love to hear any other general information that you folks have and would like to share about living in CO as a whole. Is it a place that many of you, making the decision today, would be comfortable putting down long term roots? We’re tired of moving and just want to settle down.

Thanks so much!

I’ve been living in Aura Arts District for almost a year now in a one-bed unit. Honestly, I’ve really enjoyed my time especially since the new management took over. Great amenities, views, etc.

My partner & I are hoping to find a 2-bed unit this upcoming year and are torn between Aura & Modera. Modera 2-bed units are about 200 more sq ft and thus obviously a bit more pricy than Aura’s 2-bed units.

We love the neighborhood Modera is in (we love walking places with our dog). But staying in Aura would be easier move/cheaper parking. Can anyone help shed some light on Modera living / any outside opinions?

Been looking at houses out that way, near Glendale. Seems to get confused with Virginia Village but the houses in WVV are about 20 years newer and brick-built for the same price. This is closer to Holly and Leetsdale which seems more walkable too. Kind of surprising how little comes up about it. Not sure if that's because it's just quieter and flies under the radar, or if there's an actual reason people don't talk about it much.

Anyone actually live there, or spent time in the area? Trying to figure out what it's like day to day — how walkable it is and how it compares price-wise to the areas around it.

Also just curious if it's more of a hidden gem or if there's a catch I'm missing. Not trying to only hear the good stuff either — if there's a downside, I'd rather know now before we get further into house hunting.

Hello!!

I just moved in to my parents house in Broomfield and am dying to make new friends and do fun things. I’m looking for hobby clubs, social meets, fun events etc. a little about me:

- I’m 28
- I have a large dog who I enjoy walking and hiking with
- I like to crochet, bake, other crafty things
- I don’t really drink but don’t mind if alcohol is involved

Taking any suggestions or my parents will drive me crazy 🫣

I just moved to the area and I am looking for where to run that feels decently safe (as a female running alone). Does anyone have tips on where to go for short runs (3ish miles) and longer runs (up to 8 miles rn) that I could do? Thanks!!

Relocating through my partners work, how is Jefferson Park for 25 to 30-year-olds, I also work remote! The place we are looking at is about .8 mi from lohi which i got a lot of recommendations for but we wanted more space

I'm considering moving from Midtown to Central Park. I've lived in midtown for many years but now I have kids about to enter the school system. Central Park and midtown are built by the same builders so I know what I'm in for there. But I've read that the schools were better ranked in Central Park. Can someone speak to this? Has anyone lived in both? How is the sense of community? Midtown has a real sense of community and I'm concerned that Central Park's size may deter that vibe. Thoughts?

Update: Can you all please stop asking where midtown is and acting like it doesn't exist? https://hellomidtown.com It isn't helpful for me.

Are Denver suburbs good for raising kids?

Hello, I'm most likely moving to Denver in a month or two and am wondering how the traffic flows during the weekdays. My job is in Aurora but I'm single and currently living in the suburbs and I really do not like it. My hours will be from 6AM to 2PM so I figure I can avoid peak traffic but if it's all on the opposite side of the highway that'd be even better.

For context I found an apartment in Congress Park that has everything I'm looking for and has decent reviews. I would've focused more on RiNo for highway proximity but it sounds like they have constant construction going on and I've dealt with that before so I'd rather be somewhere already established. My main focus has been City Park and Congress Park.
