Anywhere in the Metro Area is going to be expensive to live, housing here has been nuts since the great weed-lection of 2012, and the attendent liberal invasion it caused. Also, the Denver AWB does exist in theory, but I doubt its really enforced. You can live in the burbs 2 minutes outside of Denver propper and there is no AWB, we have the stupid mag ban, but its openly flaunted in most areas of the state, I'd say 50% of gun stores in the metro area carry em. Most other parts of the state are pretty conservative though. Where is your job?

It's better than Mass, use it as a stepping stone. Buy all the guns you want, 30 round mags, carry, and then keep your eyes out for a even better state.

Yeah, as I said city isn't really my thing, hoping to find someplace in the burbs I'm about 30 minutes from Boston and the traffic drives me nuts. But the job pays for me to move so its a ticket out west.

It would be much better than Massachusetts.
There is a Mass exodus from Denver every weekend up to the mountains. That can get pretty old , but the scenery is good when you are stuck in traffic. There is the 15 rd mag limit, unenforced for the most part. Just bring any over 15 you have. |

Commerce city is not part of Denver proper so no AWB, and it is/was considered the bad part of town for a long while, but with gentrification I honestly don't know anymore. So rent/places to stay may be cheaper. Plus you are near I-76 which means you can commute from unoccupied territory outside of town, I work on the west side of town and i know several people that commute down I-76 or from up north specifically because it isn't Denver so it can be done, it just sucks during the winter if there is snow.

BTW, Denver traffic is a nightmare. I rarely go into that city. Too bad there aren't other roads to get me north of it. Anyway, had to drop someone off in Denver on a Saturday morning at 6:30 A.M. E/R back south at 7 A.M., the NB traffic was backed up along Monument. F*ck! Saturday traffic jam? Glad I was going the opposite.
I was told that if you're inside the city, it's not so bad. I dunno. |

Good to know since housing was my large concern. I was going to try to find some kind on Sublet or furnished apartment I could rent nearby to get a lay of the land before I signed into any lease with an apartment and be stuck there for a year.

I'd look into a job in the Grand Junction area, better people, more to do, get away from the madness of the front range. Housing is high due to pot growers buying with cash and flipping for electronic funds. |

The main downside of living out east-ish is that it sucks to get into the mountains on the weekends... Tends to be mobbed by Denver day trippers... Its better if you can get out for a few days over the divide or to the north or south (i.e. away from the I-70 shitshow corridor) |

Look around online for what rent is going for in that area is my suggestion. From what I've heard from my more recent co-workers/hires its pretty bad/high on the west side of town.

I would move there in a heartbeat if I wasn't tied down in Ohio at the moment. I've spent a lot of time working in the Golden/Denver area. Beautiful land, beautiful weather, and plenty to keep you busy. While it does lean left in some regards, you are coming from Mass so you will probably think you took a wrong turn and ended up in Texas.

Thoughts? Got a offer at a Truck center in Denver, I'm a Diesel Mechanic. (Not overly fond of City settings) My main concern is finding a place to stay since it would be starting next month. I love the state for the views and outdoors life that can be had there. I'm big into jeeps and there is really good wheeling in that state, and the surrounding states. I know its a leaning left state, and I'm pretty sure Denver has a no "Assault" Rifle policy, I only did a quick google search on gun laws but it doesn't seem as bad as my current state, ( Cali of the east Mass ) no gun licensing required for purchases or open carry, but license required for concealed. ( Could be wrong as I said only quickly googled it so school me please ) Taxes are lower in the state, cost of living is down compared to Mass. No state income tax. Anyone around the area? No state income tax? Where the fuck did you get that from? Lot's of great places in Colorado to live, Denver is not one of them. BTW, the city of Denver has their own fucked up gun laws. |

I have relatives in Denver. The influx of left-leaning voters started over 20 years ago.
The economy in Denver was in the toilet and decent jobs were hard to get. People started leaving in search of work. Housing prices plummeted. People from CA (and, to a lesser extent, TX) flocked to Denver in search of cheap living and brought their politics with them. Housing prices soared with the influx of people used to spending a lot for housing. My sister-in-law saw her house value double in less than five years. She sold and moved to Kentucky. Sounds like the Denver area is still on a downhill slide to the left. |

I didn't look hard enough to find the studio apartments for 7 or 900 or whatever it is you found.
If GoogleEarth is locating everything correctly, RUSH is where that arrow is. The image is less than two years old and it would appear that the truck center is under construction at the time. There should be plenty of work there. That's one of the locations where they stay open until 10 PM most days. The upper right community in this image is apparently called Montbello. Looks like you can rent a nice 3/2 for anywhere from 1600 to 2400 a month. All this without ever touching that traffic you hear about. I'm not from there, so I don't really know. An opportunity to move from MA to CO does seem like kind of a no-brainer to me, though.

Depending on the specific area in the Denver metro, the rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is higher than the mortgage on my 2600 sq ft home...on 5 prime acres. Even 1 bedrooms are going for over $1K, depending on location.

Your commute will suck if you go that route. Don't live IN the city at all. Live northeast of the city to avoid all the bullshit (hippies/laws) and have a better commute.

Usually someone suggests the Colorado HTF. But the most likely person got banninated a while ago.
Look, there is something not perfect about anyplace. But differentially, Colorado is a much better place than Massachusetts. OP will have unbelievable outdoor recreation opportunities. OP will find a place to live. OP will be happy. The end. |
