Moving to Denver (Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Englewood: apartments, condos, work)

[mavmoses07]

I just graduated from school in New York and I'm moving out to Denver to start work in late June. I will be working in the DTC area and I'm looking for an apartment in that area. I'm looking for an area where I can meet other young people my age, yet I also don't want a long commute. My price range for an apartment is $500-$800/month. Any suggestions on where I should look? Thanks in advance.

You could buy a $100,000, or less, 1 bedroom condo in the Englewood, Centennial, Littleton or Highlands Ranch areas and be within 20 minutes of the DTC

I'm not really looking to buy a place yet and I'd like a place with a shorter commute. How are the Cherry Hills, Greenwood, and Cherry Creek areas?

VERY expensive. Those are the old and new money parts of Denver and while they are quite nice, if you're just out of school it's probably not going to happen for you there unless you're making a lot of money. There are no apartments in Cherry Hills and Greenwood Village--though Cherry Creek has some fancy condos available.

The DTC is a fine area--as is Centennial--and you can surely find some condos/apartments for a much cheaper price. Try that.
