What is your favorite Denver surburb?? (Aurora, Canon City: rent, art, community)

[HighlandsGal]

Or a curve in the road??

(such as the stadium curve on 25)

Or ... getting back on topic ?
Yac.

ok, favorite burb. I love the area (not sure where this is) that is down south, off of Santa Fe. There is a spice company in this area and a fondue place (Melting Pot?)

There are shops and little bars there. I walked around that area all day. Anyone know the name of this area? Littleton?

Yes, that area is Littleton. The spice shop is in old town Littleton. The area is also served by Light Rail.

ok so old town Littleton is my vote. But there are so many burbs! I also really like the Stapleton shopping mall, but I don't know anything about outside the mall. I wonder if there are other pedestrian areas around there? If so, that's my 2nd vote, Stapleton. Oh, and lastly, I'd say the Westminster area, specifically around the Promenade. And Flat Irons. They kind of run into each other, although separate.

haha, ok, so I can't decide on a favorite!!

Just so everyone knows... The trailer parks in Thornton are in the area of 92nd and Pecos. (Though some in that area are technically Federal Heights) But yes, trailer parks do exist out there.

Mikieo415: I meant to post this but forgot. I realized later that Thornton isn't just my little area, but also crosses to the West. My bus often detours that way when I-25 is backed up (happens all the time BTW) and we drive thru these areas. It's really bad looking. So sorry to the guy I said no way! No trailers!

Evergreen, mainly because it isn't really a Denver suburb but close enough.

The light rail station was the next building over, only a 1 minute walk. There are also two other nice apartment complexes within walking distance and some condos. There is an AMLI complex, and one called Crestwater or something like that. But I LOVED my apartment.

I can't belive more people haven't said Golden. Right by the mountains, unique feel, an actual downtown district. It's a nice little escape from the city. The traffic to and from downtown denver via 6th is always better than the commute to the north and south burbs.

And come on people..... Thornton is your favorite?.... seriously???
