Denver Question
Another area that is expanding is on the SW side of town. ALso the NE side of Denver near the airport. You will get more real estate for the money on the NE side of Denver, but then it is about a 20-30 minute commute to Broomfield.
Prices might be higher NW-SW of town. Denver real estate has been very slow the last year, so overall it is still a buyers market.
I moved out here about a year ago. Had a lot of luck using the Realtor.com website.
Yes, we had some big snow recently..it is nice out here. Just be prepared for your engine power to drop 15-18% out here..
Good luck, welcome if you come..
