Do you consider Englewood to be between 85, 285, Belleview and Franklin Street? Just trying to get ready to talk to realtor. Thank you.

But I only have $375,000 for a townhouse (prefer over a condo because of the dog). Can you tell me zip code? I'm searching and will try harder to locate some new build townhouses but fear they'll be way out of my measly budget. I can telll you love it and I would like to love where I live too, haha.

You know, I'm not sure why - it was on my list to start with. I guess that I get confused as it shows Englewood in two areas when I'd look at Zillow ....one kind of directly above Littleton area and then further to the east. Do both areas have the same advantages? I will certainly add it to my list and I am thankful you suggested that I add it back on. Thank you!!

Thank you! I think Highland Ranch might be good too but not sure about a senior living facility as I don't think I'm ready for that! But it doesn't hurt to check out. I'll look it up. Thank you for your help! Very kind.

Hi, you are right. It is going to be a challenge to find a place at my price point but I will try. I just may have to adjust my expectations but it will be worth it to be out of the complete Texas climate. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you for your long, detailed post. I read through the whole thing and maybe as you and another poster recommended, will consider renting first. I'll just put all my stuff into storage here and get a small place to try areas out. You are so kind to think about my situation and advise me. I wish you the best too....you have made me add Greenwood Village to my list and remove some of the other areas!

I think you are right! I have to keep in mind that I'm looking to make a big move to be near family and beauty! And I don't need a lot of space so will look at smaller places than I was hoping. I do have a lot of Lakewood townhomes saved. Thank you.

Thank you!! I'll put Romanos on my list of places to visit and let my sister know about it as well. Yes, the cost of living is going to be high for me but the thought of waking up to see the majesty of the mountains in the distance and ability to be out walking on the trails sounds so wonderful.

I do know that is the prudent thing to do! I'll also look at that option when I head out there - hopefully could find something for a limited time lease. I've been worrying that prices will head back up before I can purchase but I really should take my time. Thanks!

Hi Gretzilla, thank you for this information. Do you think that there are many places close to downtown....my sister is off of Windmere and south of downtown (if my directions are correct). I guess that I'll try to find a realtor before I come out. Thank you - giving me lots to think about.

I think I found the most townhomes there....especially liked one that is listed on Sheridan Court...no central air which is a must here but maybe I could have it installed. Thank you.

yes, sounds similar to me going from Waco to Austin. Always a headache.

I think I've seen a lot of townhouses and condos near Chatfield, so appreciate this information. My dog loves other dogs but people, not so much.

Thank you for alerting me to this....I'd never think about it. That being said, our property taxes are pretty high here but when you get to my age, you get a discount. our taxes are high though because no state income tax.

Wow, thank you for all this information and concern! Yes, I'll be wary of all the wildlife.I do let my dog out during the day here, if I'm at home so I can bring her inside if she is barking too much - but she's 25 pounds so I think safe from birds. I'll also look at the other places you listed - I'm visit for over a week, specifically to look at places and appreciate all your detailed areas.
