Denver seems like the best place in Colorado to live in with coffee shops, good restaurants, bars, and breweries within walking distance of lots of houses there.
You're selling me on Denver based on the entrepreneurship, business perks and startup scene. Thank YOU for covering that. The migrant issue is kinda concerning to me, but I'm sure one could avoid dealing with it if you're focused on scaling your startup and regularly traveling? And do you think that there is more of a startup hub in Boulder vs. Denver? Thank you for this video. Also, proximity to Aspen, Boulder and Vail is a HUGE sell.
Actually, Denver has a pretty great climate with 4 seasons. Since it's dry and not in the super humid eastern half of the U.S., snow isn't wet and heavy like back east. It also melts quickly due to the nearly constant sunshine...over 300 sunny days a year. Colorado winters aren't as long and cold as other northern and midwestern states and spring comes early, in March, compared to them. You can even get uncommonly warm days out of nowhere during the winter.
The thing about Denver is that it’s getting a bad reputation in some ways probably because it used to be better than it is. Maybe the people aren’t used to having certain problems in their city. I used to live in Austin which was a shit hole in many ways in 2019-2021, but ALL you heard about Austin was that it was this great city. I was on the ground in Austin like, “yeah it’s nice in a lot of ways, but it’s really scummy”. My point is, certain places get a lot of flack because it’s popular to do so, and others just get glowing reviews because that’s the consensus from people that don’t know what they’re talking about. Big cities are going to have problems with homelessness and drugs etc. that’s life
Once upon a time I lived in Denver.We bought a new home in Aurora just $175,000 . Unfortunately we sold it in 2004 . We didn’t get any profit, and moved to CA. Here also we can’t afford a house. Now I wanted to move back to CO. Now howz the single small family house? Can we afford it now??
Well that's good to watch, i'm not from USA but i've plans to visit and live one day, but i've seen many comments saying how bad is Denver, that is now a 'shithol*' etc.. 😓 but i always like to see both sides 😊
I appreciate you watching! I always get a laugh from the random comment who talk about how terrible Denver is and it makes me wonder why they are watching videos about a town that they think so poorly about! 😂
I do find Denver a little boring, but hey in 5-7 years, if I get a house now…even in Aurora, the value is gonna go up. And I’d be “Closer” to the core than those outside e470 that’s still being built. And flight prices and flying times are pretty reasonable from our Airport, so… heeeeeey!🎉
There have been a handful of days below 0 degrees since I moved here in 2021. But cold is very subjective. I'm from Georgia and I think it is pretty cold often.
Denver has its days - and as Amber mentioned, I think it depends on what you think cold is - but overall I think Denver’s winters are pretty mild aside from the occasional handful of snow filled days or short periods of 3 or 4 random days in the winter when it drops to single digits.
Yes but not often I'm a native and during the months of January and February we get single digits and sometimes even blow zero, November and December is mild usually around the teens and 20s. And than lastly sometimes we get cold fronts that will drop us in the single digits for a week or more
@@amberlynnyI need your help. You moved from Georgia and I'm contemplating a move to Georgia, but have a few reservations. What led you to leave Georgia and what made you select Denver?
@@brucegoolsby1470 Atlanta is hot and humid (which I love) with lots of sunny days and very close to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I enjoyed my time there and only left because I like to move around.
Moving to Colorado from out of state isn’t realistic unless you make at least $300k and bring a war chest. That and the current homeless/migrant situation is making it unlivable.
Colorado is not a cheap state, no getting around that. I know plenty of people who have made the move making less than 1/3 of that amount though - it just depends on their lifestyle and where they want to live.
Thank you for the positive video. I don’t get people that are so negative about a city which has been one of the go to places to live for the last 25-30 years. Funny thing is… Most of the time it’s people with their geopolitics that’s driving the negativity yet the places that match those mindsets…nobody is flocking to. Where are the how great it is to live in cities in Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky & Arkansas, RUclips videos?
Yes. We need the leadership to deal with the migrants/homeless/panhandlers/crime. Also, traffic problems need to be resolved, in addition to the sprawl out east. Also, solve the water scarcity issues. That is a start.
Why encourage people to move to Denver? I've been here a few years for work reasons and can't wait to leave. Too much traffic, too expensive, not safe, not pedestrian friendly, air quality alerts almost every day, etc.

Not unless you live downtown.
I can't wait to get back to Denver!!
That's exciting - where are you now?

I feel your pain, so many things have changed! Are you thinking about moving back to Aurora, or another part of Denver?

Does it get super cold there in Denver?

As someone looking to sell in the area, I hope you're right.
Very cool, what part of town are you in?
@@destinationdenvercoloradoLoveland.
My Wife Just got Offered A Job in Aurora Colorado With A Salary Of 72k Is That Livable Over There? I Have Never Been there Before.
I think that's a good place to start - will you be working as well?
Im coming to Denver 🎉
That’s exciting! When are you coming out!?
Same here, got my lease signed and everything
@@GodbreadGilfredBiago You got a lease signed before you got to Denver or? I’m confused on how it works
Awesome video
Thank you my friend!
I’m moving there in a week 😊
Congratulations!! What part of town!?
@@destinationdenvercoloradoThanks! I chose Uptown to rent in
@@BeckySmithactoryikes, tons of homeless encampments there. Be careful.

It's hurt the natives so much!!

🤣 this is up for worst and most unrealistic comment of the year.
Why encourage people to move to Denver? I've been here a few years for work reasons and can't wait to leave. Too much traffic, too expensive, not safe, not pedestrian friendly, air quality alerts almost every day, etc.
I understand that some people may want to leave Denver - but there are also a large number who want to come to Colorado for a variety of reasons.
Don't do it. Just don't. Trust me...coloradian for 25 years
I appreciate you watching!!
Why not?
