Kristen D asked:


I am 34 and single, my daughter just starting college in Arizona. I live in middle class standards and I am self employed. There are pros and cons to living in either the outskirts of Breckenridge or in the city of denver and I can’t decide where to move to. I love the mountains but need to be close to coffee shops and fun stuff.

If I should live in Denver, what part of the city is good but yet affordable?

I am moving sight unseen to CO at the end of August and it doesn’t matter where I go. Any suggestions? TIA!

    I’ve lived in Colorado for 23 years. Denver is a BIG, dirty city. Colorado Springs, which is about 1-1 1/2 south is cleaner, you get more of the changing seasons and has the “big city” to socialize in. If you move a little farther west you are closer to Breckenridge (we are about 1 hour away) and you REALLY get the changing seasons as the altitude is about 9,000ft. Those towns, Woodland Park, Divide, are beautiful but not for singles as they are rural. Good luck and Welcome to Colorado in August!

    Vail has plenty of coffee shops etc, I went there in the Summer some years ago and really enjoyed it.
