Denver TMB'ers

I'm a month and a half in. Happy where I'm at which is the Highland area. Washington Park, parts of Cherry Creek and Cap Hill all seem nice.

 

General age? Single? What do you look for in an area to live?

 

We're full. Emma was the last one we let in

 

So honored

 

30, single with a puppy. Honestly, this is like the first time actually looking. When I moved to SoCal I was going for the cheapest and shortest commute, but now I’m fairly flexible and just want a good, clean area. Maybe close to Coors as I plan on getting tickets? Open to all suggestions

 

Likely homeless close to Coors

 

Perfect, sounds like it’s in my budget

 

I pay 1700, Zakhem properties. Happy with them so far. Seems like that price range is what it'll be for clean/safeish.

 

IowaHuskerFan3 everything is going to depend on your price range. I found a great place near City Park for mid 1800's, which is about standard for a good area with a lot of 30-40 year old professionals

 

I’d be comfortable with anything from $1500-$2000. Would prefer to stay as low as possible because I’m a cheap ass and would rather invest the savings.

 

You won't have a hard time finding a place. The best thing to do is to just do a long weekend out here and explore some neighborhoods and see what you like. I assume you want to live in Denver proper since you're single and want to meet new people

South Broadway
City Park
RiNo
Highlands
Sloan's Lake
Platt Park
Cheesman Park

Those are good areas to start

 

The highlands is where the most elite posters live if you were wondering IowaHuskerFan3

 

tmb Denver meet up when?

 

so where do you live lol

 

Its because I left. One-in one-out policy.

I lived just outside the city limits in Aurora near Cherry Creek Resevoir. People bag on Aurora but you get more house for the money and if you live near an RTD line you can hop on that to get into the city (it’s not the best public transport but better than a lot of places). Lots of bike/pedestrian trails and you can get into the city that way as well if you’re into cycling.

 

I’ll probably take a weekend trip out to do some looking. Thanks for the recs!

 

come bask in our highlands/sunnyside glory

 

Looking at the highland area. After receiving my comp package. Would love to stay right around $1600-$1800 after utilities/internet. How shitty of a place would that be?

 

Not shitty for that range, but hard to say for sure without names. My internet is 65 a month and utilities float around 85. Parking is 100 for underground and secured.

 

Is the train system legit? I’ll be working downtown and questioning whether spending the extra on rent is worth it as opposed to car maintenance/gas

 

depends how close you live to a station. The train (and buses) are very reliable. But it all depends on the proximity of your residence and work to a stop.

I used to take it to Golden all the time because it let off right at the courthouse where I worked. I know plenty of people that take it into downtown for work.

 

Just called crown of India and was told they are permanently closed. Boo

 

Booked a flight for the end of next week to look at apartments. What are some good places for food down around union station? Steak preferred, but open to anything really.

 

Any of you guys near Aurora have a go-to Korean restaurant? I know all the good Korean is out there. But no idea which is best

 

I had a to go Thai and go to Vietnamese but not a Korean

 

This is the only one I've been to and it was pretty good.

I’m eating at Tupelo Honey tonight. I should’ve chosen a steakhouse, but at this point it’s too late. So many homeless downtown it feels like San Diego, but overall, I can see the appeal.

 

I mean Tupelo honey is right by Union. So, ya

 

For the record, food was pretty damn good.

 

Meow Wolf is really fun and overall very well done. So many cool small details.

 

Reaffirms that Denver drivers suck

 

I miss Denver

 

I made the mistake of leaving for four months back in 2018. Won't do that again

 

I chose the Rino/Five Points area. Rent prices are stupid high, I should’ve just chose SoCal again, but fuck it.

 

What's life without being forced into this world, having to pay astronomically through the ass for every essential need including housing, all while being paid shit.

You'll enjoy Denver. I have and I've been here short of 4 months.

 

The problem is that I’m a homebody and will be working remote for the foreseeable future. It’s just gonna be me and my dog in an apartment all winter long with sports and video games. Could be worse I guess.

 

Sports league, club, second job etc. Same boat right now due to the nature of my job, but it'll come.

 

Is there any good Chinese in the highlands? I’m 0/4 so far and at this point Panda Express is the best Chinese I’ve had out here

 

Have you tried Szechuan off 6? Pepper Asian bistro? Peter’s?

 

Maybe get into winter sports? Or get prepped for hiking season. You’ll have plenty to do around you living in that area

 

Didnt like Pepper Asian bistro but will try the other two

 

Pork dumplings from Szechuan are great

for most food questions, has been helpful for me

 

The construction guy holding the sign, seeing the accident, and walking the other way killed me

 

Coming from Wisconsin, this is some weird as weather

 

Coming from Michigan, you mean this is some vastly superior weather? I sweated by ass off today riding my mountain bike north of Fort Collins in short sleeves on 11/6. Such an amazing day, love the west. To be slightly fair, it looks like it was a rare relatively nice day in Michigan, albeit 17 degrees colder.

 

Been here a month, its comfy.

 

Yesh Greystar sucks ass

What is this weather

 

Sucks man. But this is what I tell people about denver. It can be a lot warmer than you think.

lack of snow is a real bummer. Especially for the mountains
