The freeway on the south side of the metro area is actually C-470. The E-470 toll road starts when you get east of I-25. There is a Lexus Lane (toll lane) on C-470, but the rest of the road is free from I-25 to I-70.
I considered a job in Lakewood, but even with salary of 100k plus housing is unaffordable for a family of 4. All the houses seem very large as well. 3000sqf seems the avg. Are there any new developments with smaller 1500-2500 sqf houses?
I remember when we called I-25 the Valley Highway! There were isolated towns along that road, but it wasn't completely housing all along the highway. It is amazing to see it today...It's really become 'L.A. along the Rockies!" Soon you will have housing from the Co-Wyo. line down all the way to the Co. N.M. line!
I'm from Denver and after being away for 15 years I'm looking to move back. I'm looking for COUNTRY suggestions hopefully 45 minutes to an hour from the northern side of Denver. My goal is cheap and no city. Any suggestions? TYIA
I am in the best neighborhood right off I-25 and 84th. It hasn't been gentrified and the homes are in the upper $400K range. I have a grocery store at the end of my street. There are fast food joints within 10 minute walking distance and a drug store. I have had no crime and have been in this area for 26 years. I grew up in Colorado in the Westside, prior to all these ridiculous new neighborhood names. Fortunately, most of us home owners aren't selling and many of us are friends like old neighbors used to be in the 70's. We have diversity here too. People like to call old Thornton ghetto but I can tell you the criminals are hitting the nicer newer neighborhoods, not ours. The locations mentioned on most dangerous list are Sheridan, Lone Tree, Lakewood (LakeHood) and Aurora. I only mentioned those nearer to Denver.
I grew up in old Thornton off 84th n wash and it definitely still has crime. I had multiple robberies on my vehicles, my home, there's a surprising amount of drugs. I lived within blocks of multiple homicides. I mean the walmart off grant made national news with a shooting. Dont kid yourself. Its the nicer end of working class
Great video surprised you did not call out the Glendale area and Virginia Villiage neighborhood. Krisana Park is amazing and there are lots of great starter homes and homes for those looking for Mid-Century Modern reno projects. I used to live over there and I am always going for drives to see whats new.
Could yall do a Need to watch this for Colorado Springs maybe? Or recommend me to a good video about Colorado Springs? Other question which MLS system is that?
Incredible video guys! We're moving in November and are looking forward to exploring Denver. One question: we've read some concerning messages about crime and safety concerns in Denver. We're interested in Cherry Creek and Lo hi, would you consider it to be safe to eg. go for a run in the evening?
Crime vastly overrated but still be careful ...don't flash big cash...cherry creek isn't bad Lohi over priced and Yuppy...don't go to 5 points and avoid Lodo when bars close cause of drunks!!! Should check out western suburbs Arvada,Lakewood, Edgewater!!!
great video, exactly what I was looking for! Thinking about moving to CO in about 1-1.5 years from NJ/NYC area with my girlfriend after we finish school. Cant wait to see these neighborhoods for myself
People don't like having to pay extra for record numbers of migrants in a sanctuary city, before it was convenient to make that law. What is the tax impact on businesses and the locals? That's why denver is a live there for a few years and then bounce. Or just visit for a weekend getaway.
It started to change probably 15, maybe 20 years ago. The population has just grown so much that "big city" problems have caught up with the Denver metro area.
Also, if you’re trying to move into - or worse, build - anything bigger than a 2-3 bedroom, that’s just stupid excess. That McMansion crap is so gross and wasteful. Get control of your life.
This is a very in-depth video of Colorado neighborhoods, if you have any questions just call/text us! We got you! 😉
Just DONT! It’s expensive, horrible. I am living in Aurora and the apartment is awful and so expensive we couldn’t afford a house if we wanted to!
You need to make more $
Great video, accurate description of neighborhoods and very helpful!

I love Colorado , no place like it !
LOL. We locals don’t call it Kansas~we call it “Saudi Aurora”

Can you not? It's packed enough here.
Loved it! Great information and clips of the areas 💖 can’t wait to move back to CO
No where Full
I am moving very soon and I have watched all of your videos, you guys are the best! (I am renting, I will be back when I buy!)
Awesome! So glad it could help. Whether you’re renting or buying, always feel free to reach out with any questions.
Can't believe you labeled C-470 as E-470 and called it a toll road. C-470 is not a toll road. E-470 runs east from I-25 and is a toll road.

Yeah there's plenty of crime 84th and pecos...and not what it was...kinda ghetto....Arvada way better
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN I am not on the West side of I-25. You are thinking of Federal Heights. I am in Thornton.

Watched the whole thing. This was super helpful. Thank you. I’ll reach out soon. Have to get everything sorted before moving out to Denver.
Could yall do a Need to watch this for Colorado Springs maybe? Or recommend me to a good video about Colorado Springs? Other question which MLS system is that?
I watched the whole thing and will rewatch with husband before we come up next month, thank you so much, this was great.

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN thank you! The move was pushed to January but we'll definitely check out these places
Great video - what are your thoughts on Morrison, CO?

If you are older and plan on retiring there, you’re making a huge mistake. Don’t do it.
Also, if you’re trying to move into - or worse, build - anything bigger than a 2-3 bedroom, that’s just stupid excess. That McMansion crap is so gross and wasteful. Get control of your life.
Just Don't
