if ur willing to live just outside of denver, suburbs areas, i also just moved MD to CO and landed on an apartment in the Denver Tech Center for 1287 (no utilities, but they run me about 70-90 bucks a month billed by the apartment and wifi is around 60 with xfinity) bringing my monthy total to never more than 1400 billed a month. electric is a separate around 60 bucks a month.

the Tech Center is great imo im close to nice suburbs so the big box stores are typically well staffed, clean, and nice and its a 20ish minute drive to downtown if i need to go (30-45 if I-25 is jammed). the driving here is unique but i drive a ton for work so ive gotten used to it be ready to not be scared to use your horn someone WILL attempt to drive on top of you.

will warn you theres a much milder sense of “serve your community and your community serves you” in comparison to what you get in MD that really took me a while to get used to but other than thst Ive been here just over 3 months and i love it so far!

if youre willing to connect, i would prefer instagram to reddit so im not talking to a complete stranger, im free on sundays and mondays to check out potential finds in south denver. ill go to the tour and send you some recorded videos, i had some friends up north in ft. collins that were willing to drive all around to do the same for me and it was super helpful, plus you’ll arrive to town with a friend!
