Do you like enjoying the atmospheric feel that is the outdoors? Waking up in the morning and overseeing the mountains in the distance with a mug of coffee in your hands and a pup by your side? Colorado is your spot! Denver is an amazing and ever-growing city, filled with opportunities within all various fields. Whether it's a job, a new hobby to pick up on, new friends to make, an event to go and socialize at or figuring out the next brewery to hit, Denver provides it all! Never have I felt unsafe walking around the streets of Denver, day or night, and the positive radiance of dog-owners walking their pups everywhere will keep a smile on your face! With the mountains being only 20 minutes away from the metro area, there is much to see, do and be a part of throughout your living experienced in Denver. We have everything here except a beach! And even then... Cherry Creek Reservoir provides!
Denver is close to nature and typically good weather all year long! There has been a lot of growth which means more development and new businesses, but the food and bar scene still isn't quite there like in bigger cities. Unfortunately, price of rent has become quite expensive. There could also be better public transportation and bike lanes, and more diversity would be appreciated!
I am an outdoors person so Denver is the perfect place to live to be close to the amenities of the city and family but also be able to escape to beautiful mountains. In the summer, there are endless remote areas to enjoy activities. I enjoy fly fishing. In the winter, many people rush to the mountains to ski and snowboard. However, Denver is not for everyone. I know people from Manhattan who don't like the outdoor stuff and don't see Denver as a big city. Try it out and see what you think!
