I'm coming from LA, so I know denver would be CHEAPER, but enormously cheaper? I'm also considering Austin or Raleigh. My budget is aaround 350 - 400K, and I'm looking for a nice desirable neighborhood close to downtown. I'd like the neighborhood to have it's own restaurants, cofffee shoues, shops, etc. I'm pretty cosmopolitan, however I have a 2 year old son and would like a nice little backyard of sorts.

Thanks everyone

I'd suggest the Platte Park neighborhood-- nice older homes with a low key neighborhood downtown along Pearl St. Tons of coffee shops, very laid back. If you can find a house within walking distance of the Louisiana-Pearl Station, you will be just a short light rail trip from downtown Denver. Someone posted a photo tour of that neighborhood just a week or so ago.

All of these suggestions are good. If you really want "happening" go with Platte Park and environs or Highlands. Sloan's Lake (where I used to live) and Berkeley are more residential and quiet, but still in the city and nice, IMO.

My general impression is that Austin and Raleigh would both offer slightly less expensive real estate than Denver. Check the median home sale price in all three locations and you can probably find the facts. Metro Denver's median home sale prices is hovering around $250k. However, that includes the suburbs, which are clearly going to cost less than the city. Finding a nice place in the city will set you back more, though you can probably find something fairly nice for under 400k even in Denver's trendy 'hoods like Highlands or Platt Park.
