I want to eventually move there. A small town outside the city, like 15,000 people. any suggestions for me about which town it could be? i've never been to colorado but plan to go soon.

Lafayette, Colorado. It's a town just east of Boulder. You have the advantage of being close to Boulder, but it's way less expensive. You are still in Boulder Valley School District (great schools!) The town has a small-town feel. There is an old town, where you can walk around to shops and restaurants. There are plenty of parks nearby. We happen to live in an area where you can walk to old town, the local schools, parks and a lake/park. The town puts on lots of local events, like an Oatmeal Festival, which includes a 5K race, and several other festivals and parades throughout the parade. I walk in the grocery store/library/gym and the people who work there know who I am. It's a great town--full of conveniences (Walmart, etc.) with a very small-town feel!

Refer to a map - southwest colorado is about 5 hours from Denver. One hour from Denver: Parker would be a good small town / rural area. Castle rock is good, though not as rural as it is right on the interstate. Another option is Sedalia, on santa fe drive and much smaller and more rural than the other two. There's not much rural area within an hour North or West of Denver, they're rather populated cities and suburbs. East along 70 Bennett and Strasburg might be close enough, though they are highway towns again.

Evergreen is nice, It depends on if you want to live in the foothills or still be in the metro area
a lot of the metro area is moving south towards colorado springs so a lot of those areas are growing rapidly
If you dont mind living far from the city Buena Vista is a really nice,
(the dog food thing is only when you are driving past the plant and its not a big deal and does not smell up the city whatsoever)

If you want to move to a town that small near Denver, you won't be that close. Visit Denver first and then hit some of the mountain towns, stay away from the plains.

I have a house for sale in Henderson but that is just a post office it is right outside the Metro area and the second fastest growing area in the state, but it is still out where you can see stars at night close access to I-76 it is off Hwy 85 and 112th. Brand new schools. Boulder is very Expensive and so is Parker. It depends on it you want to rent or own a home. Ask me for more info and I'll be glad to give.

i do. boulder and golden are the two towns that I would recommend. there are plenty of other nice areas to live but i think of them as just suburbs (if that is what you want try broomfield or littleton). Boulder and Golden have their own personalities and they are big enough to not feel so dependent on Denver but close enough that you could probably commute. Also Boulder and Golden are in the foothills and surrounded by fun outdoorsy things to do.
As far as the dog food thing, Im not sure exactly what drugs that guy was on but it must be something pretty strong to start imagining smells. In all my years I have yet to see or smell a dog food plant anywhere in or near denver.

Please get a map there is a lot of small towns outside Denver . It depends on if you are going to work around Denver were you work and where you live makes a big difference. You don`t want to drive any futher into Denver than you have to.

Depends on how much money you have, where (or if?) you'll be working. Basically we need more info.
Here are some choices that show you the possibilities:
Farm town. Watkins or Bennett
Hippies in the mountains. Ward
Gotta lot of money in the mountains. Evergreen
Foothills rural. Palmer Lake
Denver suburb. Golden
Etc. The range of possibilities is huge.
