Expensive, like most cities in Colorado, but super fun place to live! Great mountain view, cute downtown with tons of dining, drinking, and shopping. Outdoor recreation is the number 1 benefit of living here!
Golden is a lovely suburb with very nice neighborhoods. The houses are not the most affordable, but the safe atmosphere makes up for it. Downtown Golden is one of my favorite places with good food options and Colorado pride. There are many nice places to hike with great nature and wildlife to explore with family and friends.
The apartments were pretty terribly maintained and extremely expensive. I realize I'm in Denver, but when I moved in there was a plant growing through my kitchen floor! Downtown Golden is great, super small, super cute. If you're wealthy the houses are very nice, and the neighbor is very safe. It's all students and families.
