  1. #1

    We have been kicking around the idea of moving to the denver co. area and wanted to know if anyone on here has any personal experience with this area... i know the housing market is slow right now but iven if i lowball my current house price i will still be able to basically pay cash for a house there..
    the other part of the equation would be finding a job that pays decent, but i wouldnt need to make as much if i had little or no mortgage...
    thanks for any input anyone might have...

    I lived there all my life untill I retired and moved to Havi. Winters are long,
    the rest of the seasons are great. I lived west of Denver close to the Coors Brewery up in the mountains. Plenty to do up there for sure. Don't know about the job market.

    i was lookin at the areas just south of denver, close enough to downtown so that i could still drive in if needed.. i just think it would be a better place than anaheim to raise my little ones...

    I drove through there this summer on vacation. Rush hour is that...1 hour. If you like camping in the mountians, fishing for trout, hunting elk, or skiing... it might be right for you. You'll need indoor boat starage, since the weather is always doing something.
    On the plus side, I don't think the gang activity is too bad in the public schools yet.

    Ill be honest. I just moved to Colorado Springs. I miss Orange County for only a few reasons.
    1. I MISS HAVASU!!
    2. I MISS GLAMIS
    3. I miss shorts, tshirts, and sandles all weekend
    4. And I miss the beach.
    PROS
    People are extremely nice. There is no traffic. I can afford a house. School systems are great. There is no traffic. It is extremely beautiful here and you acutally have 4 seasons and I breathe clean air. It is a perfect outdoors state.
    CONS
    The winter was a little long for me last year, especially living in OC my whole life. The roads suck like LA. There are pot holes and a lot of rocks on the road.
