I don't have a car b/c I am unable to drive due to a devastating mental condition & I don't want to live IN Denver but since I won't have a car I have to take RTD which doesn't go everywhere. Can anyone recommend any specific areas? I have been to Lakewood & liked it but wasn't keen on Aurora. I Can't afford Boulder or Golden from what i saw, Help please? I want out of TX by 09!

If you didn't feel comfortable in Aurora, stay away. I've never even been there, and I don't like it. (Well, maybe once or twice).
I like Lakewood. It's reasonable, and there are busses everywhere, so finding an apartment near a bus stop should be easy. My best friend lives in Westminster, (one suburb to the north), and she loves it there, but I don't think the busses cover as wide an area. Don't want to live downtown? Is there a reason? There are lots of different areas, and you might find one that fits. Englewood is pretty nice, too.
I'd second the gentleman who said to look for an apartment near work, and know where you're going to work. Metro Denver is pretty far-flung, so, good luck in your search.

it depends on what you want, all of the places you listed off you can take public transportation, the thing about aurora is that it is a HUGE suburb the nice part is the fact that aurora has the light rail and the bus, it is also very close to denver. Another place you might try is Castle Rock, it is just into the mountains, only fifteen minutes or so from downtown, and the light rail runs there. There is a lot of new development out there. The thing about Denver and suburbs of Denver is that they are not straight forward. I would suggest you look deeper into the areas that you would like to live in because depending on what you look at you can get a different impression upon them. Denver is a good place to choose to live because it is a good investment area; the market is down, so if you know what to buy you can get a lot out of it. More than anything i suggest you talk to a Realtor because they can help you more on what to look at (hunthomes.com) is a small family company that i find has good service but whatever you choose is fine!

Some people have actually gotten out of Aurora alive! From your statements it looks like the near west side of the city itself or Lakewood would work. There will be light rail going west in a few years.

i would be completely undemanding with you seeing as though I in simple terms moved from the Denver metro area. You get each so often 4 seasons in one day, yet that may not something whilst in comparison with the very advantageous people who you run into. The mountains supply a number of the main amazing scenes that I truthfully have seen so some distance in existence. Highlands Ranch will no longer be the subsequent ghetto. people say that, although if it quite is not genuine. the ideal place with the ideal colleges may be the Aurora area, with Cherry Creek college District to boast. I graduated from Smoky Hill extreme college, and that i'm prepared to tell you, that CCSD is a large device to get entangled with. They push for success and you do get it. The Parker area is advantageous yet i haven't heard something reliable approximately their colleges, however the large component approximately CCSD is they'll allow you to circulate to their colleges even once you're out of their "district" as long as your new child can get to their college on time, each and all the time. quite everywhere interior the Denver area is cool, yet stay far off from 5 factors, Montbello, and everywhere around the Aurora Mall..do in simple terms no longer do it.

Lakewood is nice and if you move within walking distance of Colfax you can catch the ride straight into the city center. Try some of the rental properties between Simms and Kipling on both sides of Colfax. There are some nice residential areas there with affordable units.

Light rail will be adding to even more suburbs this up coming year. This will give you an even broader way of finding a nice city to live in with good transportation. Some are saying though that this is going to bring up home values even more (for the good or bad) so watch out, even though I doubt they will what with the housing market right now and all. Also, Aurora really is not that bad of a city. it is bigger then a normal suburb and does share some inner city problems with Denver, but it is a fast growing one with some nice neighborhoods also.

First figure out where you're going to work , than find a place close. Lakewood is a nice area.

Try Littleton, but try to live near Santa Fe and the tracks so that you can get to the light rail just fine.
