I am going back to actually find an apartment soon so I guess my final decision will be made then. I am definitely interested in Prospect and want to check that out. The way I feel about it is that all the towns (and Denver) are so close together that it would not be hard to take advantage of what all of them have to offer. Maybe I could get back in touch? when I come to Longmont? I'd appreciate it.

Sure! PM me and we can set something up. I like Prospect a lot and it wasn't the wrong side of town for getting to work I'd probably have bought there instead.

I'm a little older (mid 50"s) but only chronologically! I'm reading this with interest - I will be out the first week in May to job hunt and do some more house hunting - I have pretty much narrowed things down to Longmont/Broomfield. Maybe we should all meet up!!

Sounds like a plan . We could meet at one of the watering holes in town and have a tour of the city.

I don't mind going to events by myself, but company is always welcome. I don't live in Prospect but it seems like a nice area with good restaurants and good-looking housing. I live way the other side of town in a development populated mostly by young professionals who are at work all day like me or retirees who live in AZ half the year.

I am also divorced, late 30s and live in Longmont! Its hard to meet people period. Im even a hairstylist! We could start a divorcees of Longmont club!! Okay maybe not but we could do lunch!!
Oh and by the way Prospect is very cute but very expensive.

I've met many friends here in Longmont, but not until I started Volunteering with the Chamber and in the past year joined the Longmont Singles Group @ Yahoo.
Go to groups and put in longmontsinglesgroup. Put in your information and you will be emailed with upcoming events. It's an older crowd in mid 40/50's. But not restricted by any age.

Not to be confused with a dating service called Longmont Singles Group, that I'm told is quite different. The Longmont Singles Group on Yahoo was started by Mary who just used Craigs list initally to get group going. They meet once a week to do activities around town together. They are going to comedy club this weekend, then dancing and pool.

You could meet someone in the romantic sense, but mostly it's friends with no pressure.

Check them out...

Don't know anybody here..and I mean nobody! Prefer the quiet life to the big city..small country boy still. Please help..I'm losing my mind. Bar/club scene pulled out of the station long long ago.I'm 43 yr man.Kevin

If that's true then you can't go wrong moving to Longmont. You can make friends there about as easy as in Lafayette or Broomfield or Loveland, etc.

I agree with Katiana.

I used to live in Longmont a while back...and to me, it is a city that really doesn't leave much of an impression, good or bad. About the best thing you can say about it is that it's in a good location. Not too far from all of the cities that actually do have something going for them (Boulder, Denver, Ft. Collins et al. )
