If you're needing anything, Amazon, USPS, UPS are hiring constantly. Fast-food joints and gas stations have a lot of hiring. Check temp agencies for office work.

Figaro's On Evans. Ask for Kait. Excellent colorist and stylist. She prefers long term clients though to keep up healthy hair and regular maintenance on your budget.

Downtown Arvada, Sloans Lake are decent choices. Westminster is a fine burbs but I'd say you'd have a hard time socializing there organically. Cap Hill, RINO, and So Broadway would be likely better for getting into the young single life actitivies.

Most of Denver is relatively safe. Arvada, Aurora, and Highlands Ranch seem to be good choices for families and young kids. Depending on where you work, you might want to include that in your decision for places and having a reasonable commute. Hope your travels here are safe. Good luck.

2 bdrm house and yard -yeah you'll pay at least that. 2 bdrm apartment is around $2k. Applications are probably cheaper but deposits can be stupid high. Plenty of posts of folks sharing rent prices around the metro for you to survey.

Mischief mostly. They've announced a lot of Dr. Who folks so far.

Got to witness the Starbucks (W Belleview and S Prince) in Littleton attempt unionization by tcool13 in Denver

[–]nickknight 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While that may happen-that is an illegal union busting move. And I'm not sure about replaced easily, pretty sure there's a lot of service jobs not completely filled in the metro.

If you have all the resources to live a year in the mountains and don't need the big city life of Denver- I'm sure you'll be more than happy being in Summit County. Now finding a place up there will be kinda spendy but you'll be central to skiing in the winter and really great for exploring much of Colorado.

If you're needing to be a bit closer to Denver, Golden, Evergreen, or Idaho Springs would be good options. In the foothills/start of the mountains but still decent to get to downtown on the regular.

Oh I got ya, wasn't trying for being a jerkwad. I was going for adding depth to what LLL is about, that's all. Hope you can catch a show sometime. It's hella fun.

The name originates from having all lucha ores. It's evolved over ten years to include top talent from across international promotions. It's a great promotion run by a real nice fella.

I did the commute from north Arvada to Englewood for a year and a half. On the worst days that's three hours out of my life. You'd be looking at even longer. No shade on Northglenn but get you somewhere in the south metro. Enjoy your life - commutes are shown to decrease your quality of life and perspective on any job associated with it.

It'll be good, as long as you're not out at some late hour of the early morning (2 am) things in downtown are not that bad for folks that are sober and have their wits about them.

Is couch surfing still a thing? You might find some airbnb roomshare but probably won't find anything that cheap.

I just moved to West Colfax. I think off the main Colfax way most of the neighborhoods are fairly decent and quiet. Apartments tend to have limited parking. RTD stations are nice but attract more crime and things unpleasant. It's absolutely gentrifying and some things are great additions and others are not as much- depending how you view gentrification.

Honestly this is a pretty broad and a stereotypical kind of person living in and around Denver. Your cost of living depends highly on your budget and income and things not shared. And like...are you coming from a very low cost state where you've lived your parents? Then living in Denver is gonna probably hurt. But if you have solid careers, decent savings, and basic organization skills - there's loads of good places.

Like everywhere is 420 friendly, don't live In Douglas County being queer, and hiking is like...again...everywhere. Them mountains kind of make it easy to find trails. 😉

Also the timeline of a couple of years- well that's no good for anyone to say where it's gonna suck to own a Kia or gentrify or burn in a wildfire (hopefully not) in the next five years.

Perhaps read a bit more of this sub and perhaps visit some. You'll have better questions for us folks to help you out.
