So far, most everyone in Thorton and the surrounding areas have been exceptionally pleasant and helpful. There's a wonderful sense of community, especially in our neighborhood!
I absolutely love living in Thornton! I grew up here since I was 7, so over 20 years now. Thornton has amazing neighborhoods, schools, people, shopping, and food! The cost of living is much more affordable than Denver but it's a short drive downtown. Thornton is growing like crazy and I love it!
Thornton is a great place to live! While there is a lot of road construction at the moment, it does not interfere with the beauty of the neighborhoods or the outdoors. There are plenty of parks and open spaces for active people and their families who love spending time outdoors. Lastly, travel times to downtown Denver and Boulder are reasonable for work schedules or weekend adventures.
