Thinking about moving to Colorado

Ok lets see who lives/lived in Colorado and what you think about it.. Me and my wife currently live in charlotte nc and I go out to co every summer but not long enough to get tired of it.. I love how you are able to do more out doors stuff with out driving forever to do it ? any opinions would be appreciated .

 

can I move in with you guys???? I live in boring Texas and Colorado would be heaven for!!!

 

Stop thinking about it and do it! Colorado is awesome. I spent every summer as a kid near Durango and now I live near Denver. Couldn't think of any place I would rather settle down.

 

I'd live in the western slope area.

 

Do it!

 

Colorado is great maybe Western NC will be a closer move.

 

ive lived here my whole life, been a fair amount of other places.... and i love it here. im so used to hving the mtns right at my finger tips and having all seasons. itd be hard to not have it. i have too many hobbies tho, lol wheelin, snowmobiling, crotch rocket....

 

Yea I was born on the western slope. And its awesome their its just been years since j have been there in the winter, and my wife is a southern girl so all the snow might be too much for her lol And ink junky I'll let you know when the bus is leaving and we will swing by on the way lol

 

Lived in Centennial for a year, can't wait to move back!

 

My only real concern is how high is the cost of living, I know when we moved from Co. The cost of living was totally threw the roof, We payed 850 for rent in the late 80s , Here in Charlotte area I am above the average salary, But in Colorado it might be min. Wage. Lol and I would only be able to afford a box on the road for 1000 a month lol

 

If money is a concern/constrait I'd stay in NC. NC is for the most part a lovely and fairly affordable (outside of Raleigh, which is pricier than Tampa where I'm from, and sorry as lovely as it is I'd take Tampa over Raleigh), whereas Denver Metro is not.

 

Colorado is great. Wonderful weather (although I absolutely hate Jan-March) with tons of outdoor activities. It is getting very crowded though. Nothing like LA but a lot of congestion for us locals. If you really want to do it, do it. Once here you'll figure out a place to live and make it work.

 

Yea I noticed when I was visiting last that it was a lot more touristy then it was when I lived there before still haven't decided . I called my HR department @ work and asked about a transfer and I will leave it in there hands. If it makes sense then we will pack up my stuff and be there in 27 hrs.

 

Moved to Denver 19 years ago from upstate NY and never looked back. Weather is mild in the city and if you want the snow head up to the mountains. The problem is trying to do things on the weekends when everybody has the same idea.

 

I grew up in Colorado. I left there about 44 years ago. I go back for visits to the family, but wouldn't move back for anything. The hunting and fishing in the '50s was fantastic, but the population growth has spoiled it for me.

 

I just moved to CO about a month ago. So far it's been great. We moved from ATL and its a much better place to live. But Denver is pretty congested, not as bad as other cities, but these days every city has too many ppl in it. There's pros and cons to every place. The south east is probaly the last place I would move back to.

 

I moved to CO from the east coast, lived in VA and NJ. id say DO IT!!!! its to hot and humid back east, although charlotte is a great town.

Im never moving back east lets just say that ha ha ha haha

 

Yeah I've lived in Dallas TX, Pittsburgh PA, Daytona Beach, ATL, Greenville NC, San Antonio TX,

I might consider going back to Pittsburgh, or Austin TX but other than that, MTN timezone for me.

 

It so nice not having to plan an entire vacation to enjoy Colorado when you live here. Just wake up early and you can get almost anywhere whithin 5 hours. have fun and be home for a late dinner.
