A vibrant downtown.

9) Northglenn - unremarkable
10) Hampden South (Denver south of Hampden, E of I-25) - 1970.

Westwood: Sketchy
Evergreen: What people who have never been to Denver think the scenery will look like.
Commerce City: Purina dog food smell
Lone Tree: Yes, there really is just one lonely tree.
East Colfax: Best place to people watch
Northglenn; yawn
Hampden South (Denver south of Hampden, E of I-25): Nice suburban if you work at the tech center.
Englewood: underrated, walkable, potential

Seriously, yeah. . .I'm no where close to that Hamden ave Englewood. I am 1.7 miles East of the great west tech center. I'm basically just north of Arapahoe. There is Greenwood Village Northeast of me, and east of me, and of course west. I work in Greenwood Village (west of me).

These city boundaries are freaking crazy here. Centennial is south of me. . .(and north as well).

But I live in Cherry Creek Farms Englewood, Co 80111

update: my realtor did note a slight explanation. A lot of the area around the DTC was unincorporated. Cities like Englewood and Greenwood village were grabbing up areas left and right. Like fighting each other for the taxes. I think it was Centennial that had to hurry up and incorporate, in order to not lose out.

You live in:
Cherry Creek Farm (no s)
Unincorporated Arapahoe County, CO

Your postal address (which is only vaguely related to your physical address) is:
xxx South Something Street
Englewood, CO 80111

When you register your car or have furniture delivered to your house, you pay only County, RTD, Stadium taxes. No incorporated city taxes.

You could say "Englewood" (with quotes).

No!
You are confusing postal and physical (legal).
When someone asks: "where do you live?", you say UN-incorporated A county.
When someone asks: "what is your postal address?", you say Englewood (but, I really don't live in Englewood)

[Dreaming of Hawaii]

To make it even more confusing, when we lived in Cherry Creek Farm we used "Centennial" as our mailing address. As long as you use the correct zip code, the Post Office doesn't care what city you call it.

When someone asked, "where do you live", I would say: The Tech Center. Because the location near Arapahoe and Havana is much closer to the Tech Center than Englewood. And unincorporated Arapahoe County is WAY too vague. Especially since CCF is now a small pocket of unincorporated surrounded by Greenwood Vilage and Centennial,

Evergreen..best town on that list.Say it again--"Evergreen."
