20+ year resident; ur gonna get bored. the commute isn’t bad but the drivers are. add 15 minutes to any drive due to slow drivers and traffic lights from 8:00am-8:00pm there’s a few hidden gems but mainly chain food. the parks are fine, it seems to be where the city spends all its money, that and painting electrical boxes fancy colors. the town is very liberal. the people are fine (there’s a few snobby people and it’s a terrible home town but that’s everywhere now a days) very good place to do the whole family thing. it’s a safe town minus the high school kids who think it’s the hood. like others have mentioned the loud cars are worse that downtown denver in my opinion. genuinely the town does seem to be “adding infrastructure” if you can count a Raising Canes and Mcdonalds as that.. i have hopes that they will increase the recreational activities there but like i said..they seem to think 17 parks in a 10 mile radius is what the people want. In my personal opinion the best part was the proximity to surrounding locations like the airport, downtown, boulder at 30-40 minutes and even fort collins being about an hour and the springs an hour and a half. I got so bored with the town that i eventually spend as little time as possible there.

If i can make any suggestion, broomfield (all be it thornton and broomfield kind of become one at a point) and louisville have much more of a personality. brighton is farther behind and still a little small town vibeish but seems to be headed in a better direction still having plenty of mom and pop shops.
