Title: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: DrDesmo on September 15, 2010, 06:39:26 AM Hey gang [thumbsup]
Looking to relocate away from Cheesman in January, any suggestions? I like LoDo and Boulder, any recommendations? Cheers, Adam Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Buckethead on September 15, 2010, 07:09:25 AM Nothing to add, but hopefully I'll be moving there some time next Summer, so I'm looking for suggestions, too.

Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Fresh Pants on September 15, 2010, 07:43:34 AM I like my neighborhood. ;D (biased)
Highlands (not the Ranch). Close enough to downtown, I25 access, walkable distance to a couple of shops/restaurants...

Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: DrDesmo on September 15, 2010, 01:25:01 PM What did or didn't you like about Cheesman that is causing you to move from there? A few reasons ... 1.) Colfax and the homeless squire crowd that gets drunk, beligerent, and is just a pain in the ass. After having a guy jump out of nowhere and boot all over my feet (and the ensuing "brief, constructive chit-chat" I had with him) I kind of was all set. 2.) Going west is kind of annoying when you're on the bike, I-25 is OK but if you're going north you end up having to cut diagonally across town. 3.) Nothing terribly walkable that's worth mentioning over by Cheesman, and I like living in a vibrant neighborhood [thumbsup] I like Capitol Hill, it's just where i'm at (14th / Williams) is in this kind of no-man's land...

All of which are at least a mile away from my place. I think you missed the point of this thread [roll] Cheers, Adam Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Stella on September 15, 2010, 05:34:17 PM I loved living in uptown. 20th & Park Ave.
Could walk to Lodo, Coors Field, bars, all the fun restaurants on 17th St., walked to Cheeky Monk several times.... you get the idea. Before I moved here, I had (wet) dreams of living in Boulder. Got a place in Superior (fine), worked two years in Boulder and am SO glad I live in Denver. Boulder turned out, for me, to be too small of a town and not enough variety of fun bars with different faces in the winter. You may love it! I'd pick LoDo over Boulder any day – now that I know. But really, you're going to have fun wherever you land, right?! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Randimus Maximus on September 15, 2010, 05:50:58 PM ...

Liks and Wyman's #5 are amazing - Thai Basil, P17, d Bar are all winners too 8) Cheers, Adam Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Randimus Maximus on November 02, 2010, 08:10:19 AM You find a place yet?
A friend of Stella and I has this place in Wash Park for rent (short term) at the moment: http://denver.craigslist.org/apa/2033999345.html (http://denver.craigslist.org/apa/2033999345.html) Title: Re: Denver / Boulder Neighborhood Suggestions Post by: Bick on November 09, 2010, 05:12:09 PM A friend of mine has hers up:

... But quite a bit more than I'm paying now. If I get into that range, a mortgage makes more sense. Appreciate the heads up though! Cheers, Adam |
