I live in Cherry Hills Village/Englewood/Greenwood Village Area. What would you like to know?
Want a CHP? It's about a 30 day wait after you take the class and apply in person.
Want to know about CCW? You're in luck, most places do not have a sign forbidding firearms. Whole foods and Target has a sign, but I go a lot of places and seldom see a firearms prohibited sign compared to other cities I've lived in.
Do you have a job lined up? It's easy to find work here if you are skilled labor. Executive positions may be harder. Unemployment is the lowest in the country I'm hearing. Because of this, if you own a business you'll struggle to find labor. If you own a business there is a shortage of industrial land if that means anything to you.
Cost of living is very high. Apartments and homes are expensive, and I personally find the lower and middle class homes are priced too high. The higher end luxury homes are very comparable in price to premium homes in other cities.
Water is expensive, it's water socialism. The more water you buy the more you pay per gallon. Homeowners with a sprinkler system get gouged a few months a year.
Denver is very liberal. People here are into socialism and communism. A lot of crayola colored hair and bad tattoos. They just voted to raise the minimum wage up to $12/hr, but no one will work for 11-12/hr so it's a moot point. They tried really hard to bring us colorado care, which is a mandatory gov owned health care plan. Luckily it failed. Even the DEMs and hospitals were against it.
Trump broke down the "Blue Wall" in the north, but he didn't do well at all in CO despite advertising heavy here. CO used to be considered a purple swing state, but that really isn't the case anymore.
It hails a lot compared to other cities. There is a hail season. Because of this your home and car insurance will be a little more expensive than you're used to, even if you lived in a hurricane alley.
Hypoxia is real. It can get depressing/irritable if you're used to being near sea level. At first you'll be out of breath for the first few weeks or months. It can take up to two years to fully adjust and some people never will.
I grew up in the south, and I find about 99% of the people are ok here, and 1% belong in a mental institution. I mean screaming in the streets in broad daylight crazy. I've seen people this crazy in NOLA, but they're crackheads at 4AM. You'll get used to it. There is a lot of homeless here too.
Do you have kids? Despite some of the weirdness the schools are top notch if you're in the right districts.
The food here is great in my opinion.
