Best areas to live in Boulder.....?
|
Maybe not the forum...but I figured you guys would have a better idea than most. I'm moving from the Northeast in September and the internet isn't really giving me much in the way of getting an idea of where is good to live. Any ideas? Or anyone know of rooms available? |
|
What is your budget for cost of living? |
|
BOULDER SUCKS!!! Don't come here. |
|
You can start by searching |
|
Check out Craigslist Denver for housing info in the Denver-Boulder area. |
|
you could also live in Goulder. |

I'm looking at topping out at around $600 or so. Living right in the center of town isn't a huge deal, but would be nice. I just need to get there, so the initial place I live isn't a huge deal. |

If there is a place at that price, you are likely to find it there. |

seems like a lot of rooms available at a pretty cheap cost thus far. Have inquired on a few from craigslist. I will be there in the beginning of september, so I'm definitely looking to meet up with people and climb a lot. |

My info on Boulder rent might be outdated, but I was a renter for many years up to 2003. Anyway $600 might not work for a one-bedroom apartment but should be adequete as rent for a single room in a larger apartment or house. In other words, if three people each pay $600 for a 3-room apartment, that should be in the ballpark. |

I'd get a stern talking too here if I discounted these areas as "less appealing", but face it. People want to live in or near Boulder because of what Boulder has to offer. If you move into one of the satellite communities, you'll probably find yourself driving to Boulder a lot - just like thousands of other drivers...I spent a year dumping money into rent in boulder. I was right in the middle of it all. I then realized I could move 13 miles east and buy a home. Yeah. I commute to work every day. And drive a tiny bit further to climb. But that is what the bus and bikes are for. And your buddies still scraping rent in boulder. You can make it work being on the outskirts for sure. 3 years strong now and Im still loving it. |

Now I have an extremely long commute, hey? But we are talking about renting right? There's a time and place for renting some charm and quaintness isn't there? It's all about what this guy is looking for, really... |

I think it's one of those places that's just unique. |

I think Richard's right - I've had sooo much better 1-liners |

With great respect for the professor of pharmacology, I nonetheless second Ken's motion to endorse Mark's declaration. |

Dude, I currently live in Northampton, MA....land of close-minded liberalism. I can handle that. |
