I started living in Golden for school. The downtown area is very lively, and there are always community events going on outside of the many small businesses and the local college. It is a very bike and pedestrian friendly town. Generally, my experience has been extremely positive, from the people to the scenery. The only disadvantage to Golden is the cost of living, but it is not as extreme as other areas in Colorado.
There is so much to do, especially if you are outdoorsy. The city is kept very clean and has endless food and shopping opportunities. I highly recommend inner tubing down clear creek!
Golden is a wonderful suburb, great for those who like a small community and exploring the outdoors. There are plenty of hiking trials for outdoor enthusiasts, and access to Clear Creek during the summer. It is easy to commute to any location within the suburbs, and is only a fifteen minute drive from downtown Denver.
