Hi everyone, My husband and I are hoping to move to the Denver area early next year.
I am a multidisciplinary designer (UI / UX / Visual / Graphic) and artist. Would love to get involved in the design community out there. Reach out to me if you'd like to connect.
Also, would love advice on neighborhoods to move to in Denver, and a heads up when the market goes down! :)
Thanks! Claudette
Hello, Claudette. You might have timed your move to the Denver Metro Area at a good time. The housing market was very hot and bidding wars were the norm. Just recently it has cooled a little. Do not have to worry as much about bidding wars but prices are considered high. Put if you are from California or New York or Washington you might not find the prices high. The suburbs are a little cheaper. Cities like Littleton, Lakewood, Edgewater, Sheridan, Westminster, Thorton, North Glen, Commerce City, Aurora, Foxton, and Centennial are the suburbs. If it is just you and your husband you may find Denver a good fit. If you have children I would look at Southern suburbs like Centennial, Littleton, South Aurora, and South Lakewood. I almost forgot Lone Tree. As one commenter already mentioned Highlands Ranch which is south of Denver is a little bit I think cookie cutter but that is because of the HOA there. Stapleton had its name change recently to Central Park is also like Highlands Ranch.
Neighborhoods in Denver I would like to live in are the Highlands, City Park, Washington Park, Montclair, University, Wellshire, Washington Virginia Vale, Belcaro, City Park West, Hale, and City Park South.
Now that I have given you too much information I will give you and me a break.
I'm in Denver. I'm a CTO/CPO/co-founder in a startup (been in tech startup for years). I'm happy to connect.
The greater-Denver area is great! There are plenty of great cities (Denver, Aurora, Parker, Broomfield, Highlands Range, Lakewood, Littleton) and Denver-close towns (Golden, Morrison, Castlerock) that range from diverse to not-so-diverse in ethnicity, political-leanings, size/cost of houses, access to public transportation, ease-of-access to recreation, and traffic-congestion issues.
Job-wise: Denver is a tech-hub so there are lots of jobs postings (in tech), and I'm happy to help with introductions.
I’m up in Fort Collins. Denver is an interesting place. I’m from NYC originally so I may be biased. Denver’s market is very high- and the neighborhoods are quite separated. Public transportation is not easy like a normal metro. A few good spots in Denver are Capital Hill and LoDo - If you are ok with a Denver suburb- cherry creek is lovely, so is Broomfield. Stapleton and Highlands Ranch are very “Stepford wife” vibes if you know what I mean.
