Travel Info I LIVE IN ALABAMA NOW AND I CAN'T STAND THE HEAT OR THE HURRICANCES. PLUS THERE IS NOTHING TO DO AND THE CRIME IS SUPER HIGH. I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MOVING TO DENVER NEXT YEAR? IS THERE A LOT TO DO IN DENVER? WHERE IN DENVER SHOULD I MOVE? IS CRIME HIGH THERE? ARE THE SCHOOLS NICE? WHAT DAYCARES ARE GOOD? ARE THERE MEDICAL ASSISTING JOBS? THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT I WANT TO ASK!!! I REALLY AM CONSIDERING MOVING THERE WITH MY BF AND DAUGHTER, BUT I REALLY CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT DENVER. HELP! THANK YOU! Travel Tips I am a native Denverite and I can't imagine living anywhere else. If you have a family then you probably want to check out the suburbs. The city of Denver is nice but the schools are not well-funded, there's not a lot of families so there's not a terribly family-friendly environment. The suburbs are a lot safer--but they are also more expensive. I'd recommend Littleton and Lakewood--western Denver suburbs. Schools are good, property values are decent, plenty of jobs are moving out of the city into the suburbs, and there's no hurricanes. Most of the metro area is pretty conservative. We're kind of "midwesternly"--big of church and family. If that's you then I think you'll be quite welcome here wherever you move. Here's a Yahoo Travel Introduction to the city: "These days, Denver is a welcoming and enjoyable, though conservative city. Tourism is based on getting out into the wide open spaces rather than on sightseeing in town, but somehow its isolation, a good six hundred miles from any conurbation of even vaguely similar size, gives its two-million population a refreshing friendliness; and in a city which is used to providing its own entertainment there always seems to be something going on." And just a small piece of advice. Definately marry your boyfriend before you come here. You don't want to get stuck in a far-away city after you get dumped. Plus, like I said, we're big on marriage and family life here. If you want to check out Denver here's a couple of sites I like: http://www.bestplaces.net/city/profile.a... (This site offers statistics and user reviews) Here's that Yahoo Travel site where you can read user reviews of the city: "http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-81... I think that people make a couple of big mistakes when thinking about Denver. First, they think we're all a bunch of ski-'til-you-drop cowboys who ride mules into work. Many of us don't ski at all and cowboys are a rarity. Most of us drive SUVs, not our trusty steeds. Second, people think we're all dope-smoking ex-hippies who like Starbucks and Dave Matthews about as much as we love granola and tofu. We do like granola here--but a more conservative mix of it. Source(s): Native Other Travel Tips i've been to denver once. it is really beautiful. but there's a bllizzard there right now so be careful. go to denver.com. Have you been to findyourspot.com? It has questions about what you want and suggests the top spots that you might like to live, giving statistics and descriptions. It was a resource my family used when deciding where to move. My son and his family live in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. The sun shines most of the time; there is wonderful shopping, restaurants; the mountains are close by. The schools in Aurora are great; there are nice parks, professional sports; great movie theaters, skating rinks, swimming. Wonderful place to live. I wish it wasn't so nice there - maybe he and his family would move back home. To me you sould so you can keep your family safe Denver is a good place to me. I moved to Denver 5 years ago. Everyone has a "magic place" This has definately been mine. I work as a Medical Assistant in a local hospital. Lots of medical jobs available. Great night life, and even more things to do in the day time. I love the small town feel in the way that people are so friendly and easy to meet here, while having the amenities of a larger city. We have lots of government programs for day care, rec centers etc, charter schools available and one of the best transportation systems in the country. |
