It's a reason that I love living in Denver, Colorado. I live (affordably) about two miles from Downtown. There is a huge network of urban walking trails just a few short blocks form my house. I either bike or walk (or both thanks to the bike share) to work almost every day (or take public transit when it's really cold).
Since Denver is a very compact city at the core, I can get anywhere in the central city on foot. All the major sports stadiums and major cultural attractions are within a mile or two of each other. Most of the cities best bars and restaurants are clustered around the city center.
If you can live and work Downtown...it's just an amazing place to live. It's a major city that is extraordinarily approachable.
- simmons 15y agoI'll second that -- I loved living in Downtown Denver, and still visit as much as I can. Funny, when I was reading about the seven-minute commute in Nashua, I thought "that sounds like the commute I had in Downtown Denver," then saw your comment. I'm now living 6 miles out in Olde Town Arvada. It's actually a neat walkable area with coffee shops, brewpubs, etc., although there are no major tech employers within walking distance. (I work from home.)
- bartonfink 15y agoSomewhat different note, any interest in a Denver HN meetup sometime? I knew I couldn't be the only one but I'd like to meet more if anyone's interested.
- vlod 15y agoI'm in Boulder, but I'd travel to Denver.
- simmons 15y agoYes, sign me up! :)
- ccoggins 15y agoSounds like a great idea. I'm in.
- molsongolden 15y agoI'm interested but won't be back until next month!
