I will be moving within the next few months and my new job will be on South Troy Circle in Centennial.
I am not familiar with this area so I am looking for some advice. From what I have read, I like Littleton because I like their downtown area, but I also like Parker, Lone Tree, or even Castle Rock. So I am looking for information about these areas, which neighborhoods to stay away from, I don't have kids so schools are not a major factor. I will be renting and would like to stay under $1400, close to paved bike trails, and would like my commute to be under 30 minutes. I would appreciate from information on any city. Thank you

What do you like abut where you are now?

Rent for >$1400 for a one bedroom is doable.

I don't think you understand, I currently live in Rochester, NY and will be moving to Colorado in the next few months. I don't like anything about Rochester.
I am looking for information about the different cities around Centennial, I am wondering about commute times if I live west or south which is better.

Well, I wished to understand you more. If I knew what you liked in a community, I could point you in a similar direction.

It is best to live east or north of work.

I apologize for my question not being clear. I would like a nice downtown area, bike and walking paths/trails, small town feel.

There are no small towns south of Denver. More suburban. There are trails all around. Highline, Big Dry Creek...

Find something close to work. Go explore on your off time.

Look at downtown Littleton.
Look at downtown Englewood.

Jake, if you're not moving with a family, I see no reason to live as far as Castle Rock and have to be on I25 every day. For the other places you mentioned, Parker is not too far away, but it's a very family-oriented suburb. There are a lot of apartments along Pine, Lincoln and Mainstreet west of 83. The Meridian area (on Lincoln between Parker and Lone Tree) has apartments and would be very close to work. Not much else there, though. Lone Tree is newish, and probably more expensive than other places. Lots of shopping. Littleton is doable, but that won't be a super quick commute - maybe 35-45 mins in rush hour on surface streets.

Do you want a quiet suburb, or something a little more happening? The residential areas to the east, south, and west of your work location will all have bike trails. They're everywhere.

I would say I am looking for something more on the quiet side.

If you are looking for something with a quaint downtown to give you that smaller town feel, then I would choose Littleton or Parker and live close to the downtown areas. Both of these have the older downtown areas and plenty of bike trail options. If you are looking to avoid traffic then Littleton will likely be closer to Centennial.
