Give me more about Denver

Mrs. Parker · 03-10-2006, 10:22 AM

Hi Clodfobble. Funny you should ask about my username. My Mrs. Parker refers Dorothy Parker and her vicious circle. I'm a martini swilling creative type.

Maricheko --- thanks for your suggestions. I actually started this new thread because it appeared that the other lady moving to Denver was seeking something very different than me. Her focus, to me, seemed on neighborhoods with good schools for her kids in the burbs. I really am seeking info on neighborhoods of a different character. Also, because of my job, Denver is my only option. Besides, I really do need to be in a city. Any additional info is appreciated!

In that case, I would definitely go for the Cherry Creek neighborhood. I lived there as a single and liked it very much. Its a nice neighborhood - very upscale in places - that contains many fine old homes, some bordering on mansion status. Just a few blocks from the really snazzy part, there's a well kept up neighborhood that has many young professionals. Its an eclectic, safe area with many interesting people, right in the heart of Denver. Ten years ago, I rented a beautiful old duplex there with lovely hardwood floors, 2 bedrooms and a small fenced back yard for about $650.00/month. I imagine that place would go for around $900 or a $1,000 now - haven't checked the rents up there in a while, but a glance through the Denver Post would give you an idea. There's some nice clubs that you can go hear great live music at close by and you're just a stone's throw from the Capitol and downtown area. Cherry Creek also features some wonderful huge city parks, as well as the Denver Botanic Gardens.
