Everyone has their own idea on good neighborhoods - however usually people agree on where to stay out of. So rather than asking where to go - I want to know where to stay out of.
I am looking to work in Downtown Denver and have two small children.
Thanks!!

Denver West Side is sort of a bad area, although it is not as bad as it used to be. That's basically anywhere just west of I-25 along Federal Boulevard. Another bad area is around Florida Avenue and Federal Boulevard in Sheridan. There are several active gangs in that area.
Take note that Federal Boulevard is mentioned twice. Be conscious of your surroundings when you're on that stretch of road and you'll be fine.

Well... traditionally, Colfax is street to stay away from. It used to be just E. Colfax, but now its pretty mixed, some parts of it are good others, not.... but downtown Denver is usually nice and pretty safe (but common sense tells you to stay out of the alleys). Its when you go out of the downtown area somewhat north and east 20 blocks north or 20 blocks east, which isnt so good. Also, Federal and 23rd north is not the safest area. There are a few pretty neat places for children though... The childrens museum, the aquarium, firefighters museum, and more. Hope that helps...

in case you have the prefer to make a greenback, then I advise Curtis park or north denver. yet do no longer bypass Downing. Highlands is cool besides. in case you wanna make little ones then I advise Cherrycreek or wheatridge. in my opinion i'm heading out to Morrison to try this. Wash Park is initiating to suck through fact is so congested and extremely over-rated. Highlands is like Wash Park yet no longer as many human beings. you need to purchase would domicile once you're looking. Curtis Park $324,000

Cars get stolen all the time especially along I25. I would worry more about car theft or your car broken into then your safety because Denver is a safer place to live.

Sheriden area - espescially around the federal st. area! I saw 2 gangs get into a fight while I was waiting for a train there. One guy got pretty hurt.

...ask Darrent Williams' family. I'm sure they have a couple of ideas.
