moving to colorado (Denver, Fort Collins, Littleton: find a job, transferring to, community college)

[colorado1/2010]

Hi I am new to this and wanted to ask a few important ?'s about moving to the Denver area. I don't know much about the are but as a side note I also wanted to state that I use to live in Fort Collins and I absolutely loved it unfortunately I had to move back to Sacramento. My girlfriend's job is transferring to Denver specifically tufts ave. in S. Denver. W are currently looking at Littleton and would like some info.

1.Does anyone know any info about the apts. Fairview at Raccoon creek, and if so have you lived there before?

2.What would the commute be like from Littleton to her work off of tufts ave in S. Denver? Would it be better to use the light rail/bus than car?

3.How is the weather out there? On average what is the amount of expected snow fall?

4.When we get an apt. should we look into getting covered parking, a garage, or a regular parking spot?

5.How hard is it to find a job out there? What places would you suggest that would be a good start?

6. What outdoors things are there to do(ie. hiking, biking, snow shoeing etc.)?

7. Are there any good camping spots around?

8.What are the best places to go out for food?

9.For myself is there any advice on the best way of becoming a police officer and/or state trooper via training facilities or community colleges?

10.Is there any other admirable apt. complexes in Littleton?

Thank you so much for your patience with my writing I know it was long but I need the info thank you so much for your time and efforts.

Tufts Ave is probably in the DTC. It's not a bad commute from regular Littleton, but some people (including the USPS) like to use "Littleton" as the entire SW part of the metro. So it depends.

The weather is nice and varied. Average snowfall is ~ 60 inches/year.

I don't have covered parking now, but even when I had a garage I didn't put my car(s) in it. Use your personal preference, if you can deal with being cold in the mornings and having to scrape ice/snow of your car, then you can do without.

What made you decide on Littleton?

looked at a lot of places and Littleton seemed the best and its close to tufts ave.
