I think you will get better answer in Colorado forum.

Where will you be working? Denver isn't huge, but it's big enough that proximity to the job will be helpful.

Please share job proximity, community wants and needs, housing wants and needs including how much you are willing to spend. As it is very helpful to those who spend time trying to be helpful.

Well congrats on starting anew!!!
There are some great neighborhoods in Denver. Denver has the perfect blend of outdoor recreation and urban living. You get the best of both worlds here. I am personally more familiar with the north, west and northeast sides of Denver. In other words, I don't know much about south of downtown. I have lived here for almost 15 years. Since you didn't give any specifics I would recommend the Westminster, Broomfield or Arvada area. These are beautiful places to live and work. They offer a variety of job opportunities and amenities. These locations are close to the mountains or foothills and reasonablly close to downtown. You could check out these sites to help you with your search. City and County of Broomfield ; City of Westminster, Colorado ; http://arvada.org/.

Good luck with everything. Let us know any questions you have.
