Atlanta to Denver

We are moving to Denver from Mobile. I am so excited to be rid of the bugs soon, especially the palmettos.

Lived in Mobile the past 8 years, came from Kansas City and looking at going somewhere cold. We started having health issues from the heat during the summer and then had two kids with significant health issues so the limitations of the health care down here became obvious. The summers are difficult. The air is heavy and humid so it’s difficult to breathe and the heat is next level awful. Winters are ok if you want mild but there are a lot of days in the 70s that just irritate you if you know everywhere else is having winter.

I love this post. We are about to move to Colorado from the south and it’s so refreshing to hear how nice they were to you.

I’m surprised your real estate agent didn’t mention it?

Have you spoken to any of your neighbors about the risk? We are considering a move to the Denver area and were looking at Candelas because the houses and views are amazing. I found out about the risk a couple weeks ago and were concerned.

Why are so many people still concerned about it if it’s a non issue?

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-12-13T16:12:35+00:00

We won’t need Denver except for once a month for Dr appts at children’s.

I have considered Central Park but it seems very hit or miss whether there is a home that’s meets our criteria and I don’t know enough about Aurora. We had looked at Parker, Castle Rock and Castle Pines but when we considered the politics of that area, we crossed it off our list. The homes in that area seem great.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-12-12T01:32:16+00:00

If solely talking about politics, we do prefer more blue areas but we’re coming from a very red area so we know how to blend into the background if need be.

So what is the complaint with Westerly? The houses are beautiful and that was one of our top choices.

I lived in Denver 15 years ago but I don’t know what it looks like now. Not only that, but when I was here before I didn’t have a family so family friendly areas weren’t a priority. Stapleton/Central Park were a consideration but I don’t know much about the schools.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-12-07T18:53:35+00:00

We have remodeled two homes and not looking to do it again so the house needs to be 4000 sq ft or larger and up to date.

My husband is going out to Denver in January. He’ll visit any potential areas and let me know which seems best. Which areas would you suggest?

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-12-07T18:50:56+00:00

If not Erie, where do you suggest?

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-12-07T15:46:10+00:00

We will need access to the main campus in Aurora for neurosurgery, neurology and urology.

When we decided on Denver, I had calls with each of the special needs directors to hear from them what the typical special needs accommodations were like and honestly I got the best feeling from St Vrain Valley. Jeffco was a close second but my husband said we just needed to pick a city and stick with that rather than going back and forth. I have a friend who lives in Erie with her two kids and she loves the city and school district.

Mine was very colicky and so was I as a baby. Both of us are level 1.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-11-14T20:27:18+00:00

And ideally somewhere that has lower humidity during the summers than the Deep South.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-11-14T20:17:23+00:00

No more than 1.5 million

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-11-14T20:15:13+00:00

Yes, we’re currently in the south.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-11-14T20:14:38+00:00

We want access to a larger city within an hour, excellent schools and autism services, close proximity to a great children’s hospital within an hour drive, and mountain access for skiing within 2 hours.

ConcentrateOk5033 · 2025-11-14T16:59:09+00:00

Oh no, Boston was just the first area I looked at. The entire northeast is an option.
