I'm thinking of moving to Denver soon. Can you fine folks tell me what pros and cons the city has to offer? I like hiking as much as I like dancing and bar hopping. Seeking a balance of nature + city

Denver is awesome! Depends on where you are coming from for comparison. Based on your description it sounds like a good fit! I would say the bar/club scene is way more casual than Chicago or NY, really not many clubs. Tons of breweries and fun places and things going on though. Huge music scene, lots and lots of venues. So. Much. Nature. Skiing, hiking, rock climbing, anything you want to do outdoors we pretty much have to offer.

Great description. Second the music scene, we have one of the best venues on the planet 🙂

I would add that to get to nature you’re looking at 30 min. drive minimum.

Not as diverse at NYC or Chicago or the Bay Area though. Don't know if that is a factor for you, but as a minority I get baffled by how Denver continues to not be as diverse as other growing cities, I don't think they put in the effort for it either. Food situation for Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Ethiopian cuisine etc is definitively under par too. The best Thai or Indian restaurants in Denver would be considered terrible in New York or Chicago.

Agree with the pros listed above.

Just spent a week at Revelstoke BC and that place is ridiculous! They already had 27’ of snow so far this season and it snowed every day we were there. Not for beginners and endless tree skiing and cliff hucking (if interested). Great town vibe and worth the effort to get there. Visited Fernie BC on my last trip and highly recommend that place too!

Might be a long shot but anyone interested in joining a lease for a duplex in the RiNo area? Intended roommate backed out at the last minute. Room is master bed/bath in a 2 bed 2.5 bath duplex, 2 cats, rent (inc utilities) is $1,250.

Considering moving to Denver to be closer to nature and family. Husband and I can easily transfer jobs. No kids yet but ideally soon.

We live in Chicago (Lincoln park) and love it - the walkability, bar and restaurant scene, shopping, cleanliness, etc. - and are trying to find similar neighborhoods in the Denver area. I’d like something bougie (not afraid to admit it), safe, with single family homes and that’s not too hipster/crunchy/west coast grunge. Any neighborhood recommendations?
