My sister does and she loves it. I’m trying to move there too. It’s a suburban community in the city. So pros and cons. Pros being it’s new clean not a lot of riff raff but cons being not much is walking distance depending what area of the neighborhood you are in. It’s close to the airport which is also a big plus IMO

If you can afford it park hill is much nicer and has a bit more character but comes at a premium.

Park hill houses are much older though. Central park has newer houses.

We just bought a house in Central Park somewhat recently. It’s very family-oriented, safe, quiet, great schools and I love the green space, mountain views and running trails, close to airport if you travel frequently & 70 so we can at least get to the mountains in about same amount of time as when we lived near downtown. Downside (for me anyway) is that it’s not super walkable (trails are great but not many places to actually walk to), feels suburban and cookie cutter compared to the older neighborhood we lived in before with more diversity & character. We moved here for the schools and because it seemed best for our kids.

Good to know! What is the current price range for a quality home for a family in the neighborhood? (Min 3 bedrooms). Do you have fences? A dog? Do you have an HOA and how much is that? TIA! How long could / would it take you to drive to lodo, typically?

Buddy of mine just bought a house in the area. Quiet is the first thing that comes to mind. Def not a walkable area as EY1 pointed out.

Anyone interviewing with Frontdoor for a Strategy role?

Hi Fishes,

I am a QA engineer in an edutech company. I have an experience of 7.5 years (manual testing- database, front end, mobile and api testing).

I want to move to a BA role. I have good communication skills and an analytical mind. Below are 3 of my biggest questions.

1. Is it too late to switch to a BA role?
2. What are the skills,tools or certifications required?
3. How should I approach a job opening, given that I have no work experience as a BA.

Pls do pitch in your thoughts

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Young solo here w/ a question about fees: 1. A local solo criminal defense attorney has offered to pay me to go and make appearances before the Court on some of her cases to make announcements.

Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on what a reasonable fee would be to do something like this? Hourly? Flat Fee? 2. I want to ensure this is ethical. I don’t see an issue with this. Thoughts?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

I have a townhome I want to rent out and wanted to see if there would be any interest here for a furnished townhouse (just main things like bedframes, sofa, dining table, bar stools etc). Most property managers are saying people wouldn't go for furnished, but I think it might be helpful for someone who doesn't want to move stuff or buy stuff. Wanted to get opinions from this bowl as the property is in Denver - thoughts? It's a 3 bed, 2.5 bath in a nice neighborhood.
