if you had to pick a city to live in colorado, where would it be?
Summit County? Boulder? or Denver or someplace else that is just as close to da hills...

i've been to most places but im having a hard time deciding on denver or Boulder...

Denver would be the ideal place, atleast for me. It's close to the main 'area' and would have easy access to everything.

im moving to golden,co in NOV 20mins from denver right in the foothills of rockies but really i would love to be in Breck or Vail but to much $$$$

too much $? that doesn't really make sense. I wouldn't move to golden unless it's convenient for a job.

as for the best town/city... it all depends on what you like. i'm fond of the mountain towns, myself.

what doesnt make sense?? that i cant afford breck or vail?? HAHA u live in aspen STFU

yeah but the rent in breck isn't THAT expensive - you can find a place in summit county for like 700 a month (400 if you don't mind roommates) and if you're planning on riding a lot, think of all the gas $ you'd save! it doesn't make sense to live in golden and spend less on rent and more on gas! unless you have like a super good job in golden or something.

it's expensive where I live, but salaries are much higher too - my salary is about 10k higher than anyone who graduated with me and is working in denver. Even wendys pays $10+/hour here. And personally, I think the higher cost of living is worth being near awesome mountains - it's not like i'm rich.

There are so many mountain towns all through the rockies. Summit county is little more expensive than winter park, but you have 4 mountains in like 5-15 driving time, and i know it shouldnt be to hard to find a place in silverthorne or dillan. Winter park is definetly a much much smaller town than most, but thats why i like it.
