What area in Denver to buy a house?
Hi all,
I am relocating to Colorado (don't know exactly when)... and I was wondering what parts of Denver are good? I am looking for safe, clean, nice neighborhoods. But.... we want to buy a small humble house probably spend less then $150K and put a lil TLC into it. What areas would you recommend to someone? I don't want to be where there are gangs or a lot of crime (I've been reading some of the posts and it sounds a little scary) 
But I'd like to be near shopping and activities.
Thanks for any help!!!  |

I think on where you selltle will depend on what else is important to you. I'd suggest something within 15 minutes to work.
$150,000 will get you something small in Denver, Englewood, Lakewood, Aurora, Thornton, Northglenn, Broomfield, Arvada, Wheat Ridge....
Check the local criminal activity with the local police department.

Isn't everyone looking for that?

$150K is on the pretty low end of the market. You can likely find something in that price range, but finding one in a good neighborhood may be more the challenge. It probably can be done, it just may take some looking. |

You need to line up a realtor and tell him/her your needs and wants in a home. It is hard to define certain areas as "good" or "bad" as most are neither all one or the other.

I am not sure if you can get a good area for 150K in Denver but mid/central Aurora is a possibility.
