I received a surprising call from my company asking if I'd like a position in Denver. I am well equipped to decide based on the job alone. What I don't have knowledge of is Denver, what it's like to live there, cost of living, and the feel of the city. I'm recently married and kids are on the horizon. Clearly I need to visit but I would appreciate your opinions on the city. Sure I can Google, but listicles and bs articles are useless. What's it like to live there?
Do people smile on the streets? What's the cost of living like? To rent a 2 bedroom downtown? To buy a 3/2 in a neighborhood you'd raise a family? I think Denver and I imagine lost 20 somethings smoking pot. What about those of us in our 30s who want to raise a family and still visit breweries?
I find some cities cliquish. For instance, I'm convinced if you weren't born in Mobile, AL, you'll never be accepted there. What's the feel of Denver? Open and welcoming or...?
I'm a southern boy at heart, albeit well educated and traveled. I'm outside or on the boat in free time and if someone is new to town my wife and I will go out of our way to welcome and introduce them. I could never live in Paris or Manhattan; that pace and quality of life doesn't appeal to me. How does Denver compare?
How is traffic? Examples?
Thank you!
