Please keep in mind that this is a video by a real estate agent who makes his living from selling properties. He's not going to tell you what a shthole Denver has become in the past decade because it wouldn't help his business. It was bad when I moved out of Denver in 2017, and, to paraphrase a line from Dickens, they have labored on it since.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Respectfully, if I didn’t like an area I would say as much, which I do in my videos. No area is perfect for everyone and sorry to hear your experience did not work out. I have been here since 2004 and seen a TON of changes, some great and some terrible. Happy to provide details on any areas (good or bad). Thanks again for your comment.
Very good video, mostly positive. Thanks. Can you please make a video for retired age people (65+) That are not looking to purchase a big house and are not used to and not looking for a condo living. Small house, 2 to 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and garage ( the hail you said) , one level, no stairs, small yard to be able to have a dog. Information about how close and how good are hospitals in the area. In other words how any person considering relocating from Miami and looking for a place to retire, can consider Denver as an option. Thanks
Thanks for watching and definitely can do! There are several options around the Denver area that match this search criteria. I will be sure to do a video on this soon, and feel free to contact me directly if you would like to chat before then!
Way way too many to list on here, could do a whole video series by neighborhood. Of the ones we've been to, some of my top picks are: Tamayo Sunday Brunch; Toast ; Pappadaeux Brunch ; Bacon Social House ; and Luciles Creole Cafe
Good assessment! Moved here in 1988, a few months later there was a tornado in Denver that ripped up 100 year old trees! Very rare occasion! I've also seen a few Arctic fronts that got us to -24 degrees! Having grown up in North Dakota, I have to say I've only seen it blizzard a little, only 2 real big snows. Denver has several great concert venues and world famous Red Rocks is a short drive away! I find it interesting that there are a lot of Colorado made products that are wonderful plus fresh grown produce!
Thanks so much for watching and your comments! We had a tornado come through the south end of Denver (Highlands Ranch Area) this past summer which also took down established trees like nothing. Only 1 real blizzard since I have been here and I am with you on the music venues, trying to get in as many shows as we can at Red Rocks, Fiddlers Green, Mission Ballroom, Fillmore, etc.
A lot of the buildings have windows tinted for privacy of the residents and businesses, but a lot of them are also clear. The tinting also is a huge help during the AM/PM hours while the sun is setting and reflecting the light. Lots of new construction on the 16th Street Mall as well for improved flow and the free mall shuttle rides.
I'm British and live in the UK. It's always been a dream of mine to move to an amazing US state such as Co. However, it seems like the grass and trees aren't very green. Almost, a dry looking grass that you get in a hot country. The UK is the most beautiful green grass and trees etc. I'm assuming it's because we have so much rain in the UK so it's full of greenery. Does it rain much in Co? Or is it quite a dry state? Thanks for reading. Best wishes 🙂
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I have always wanted to visit the UK and take in an EPL soccer game (Arsenal Fan here!). Compared to the UK, Denver is definitely not as green with trees. We are a semi-arid climate with rain throughout the year, but more dry times than wet times. Our Spring and Late Summer usually have the most amount of rainfall, which really helps the area green up quickly. But it is usually short lived to the climate of our state. Thanks again for watching & commenting!
@@LivinginDenverBillKnapp Thanks for the detailed information. You do live in an amazing and beautiful part of the US. I'm the other end of England to where Arsenal are based but my family are Arsenal fans as they're all originally from London area. Hopefully, I will get to visit the US one day and you will get to come to the UK to see Arsenal play in person. Thank you for your time and best wishes to you in all your future endeavours 🙂
Like alcohol, smoking pot in public is not allowed. There are places where sourcing and growing are located, where the smell is stronger, but these are situated in industrial areas mostly. Some ppl choose not to abide by the laws, same with alcohol, but most areas are smoke free. Colorado does have higher consumption of pot compared to other states due to its legalization, but you will have to actively seek out people smoking in public. Here is the public law on that matter: cannabis.colorado.gov/legal-marijuana-use/laws-about-marijuana-use#:~:text=Public%20use%20is%20illegal%3A,Sidewalks.
As to one of my friends who moved back in April, it is an incredibly LGBTQIA friendly environment & a wonderful place to live, part of why I’m making a plan to move there short-long term, along with all else it has to offer
Even in 1998, practically everyone was gay, and if you're not gay, you better be covered in tattoos amd piercings or you're fired, banned, shunned will get beat up
I think it all a matter of perspective honestly. I have met locals who are not my people & locals who are absolutely my people & best of friends. Same with people who have relocated here. My family and I have been in a suburb of Denver since 2004 and we have not found its equal anywhere yet. From our perspective, it has almost everything we want/need, except for quick access to the water and a beach. But, as I mentioned in the video, its not for everyone. A week long visit and touring the area may help & I'm happy to provide insights if you ever go that route. Cheers!

Very good video, added some things for me to consider I had not otherwise thought about. Thanks!
Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to drop a comment. Cheers!
Yea, like dont even think about it.

If you're an old white guy, they hate your guts in Denver, guaranteed
Moving to somber from California next week!
Congrats! Thanks for watching & commenting. Reach out if I can help in any way!
Colorado should pass a 3 year Visa Law to all newcomers! In a Perfect World
Why? Lol
Where are the best brunch places in your opinion?

Oh, gee I dont know (gay voice)....somewhere maybe you won't get shot at???? Dork.
None, most the food sucks. Unless maybe an expensive restaurant.

Theb16th st mall is mostly painted black around the windows.

"No, we're not sitting under a plume of pot smoke every single day". I wasn't aware of that. Do they take Thanksgiving and Christmas off?
Like alcohol, smoking pot in public is not allowed. There are places where sourcing and growing are located, where the smell is stronger, but these are situated in industrial areas mostly. Some ppl choose not to abide by the laws, same with alcohol, but most areas are smoke free.

@@LivinginDenverBillKnapp If only the people smoking pot in public cared what was allowed and not allowed. If only the COPS cared, for that matter...
What is the LGBT perspective in Denver?
Asking a straight dude won't do any good.
@@rah62i definitely agree

More confused people in Boulder than Denver.
Everything you hated about DC is starting to happen in Colorado. SAD
Its not all that bad, I am rolling with the changes and honestly it is still a long ways off from what I experienced while in D.C.
@@LivinginDenverBillKnapphe said "starting".
That's why I left last year. Living in Tampa Bay area now and couldn't be happier.
Washington sucks, what could you say about Denver, now east coast folks are ruining the place.
