"Despite enjoying Denver, however, I eventually realized it wasn't a place I wanted to live long-term. During the six years I lived there, the city was growing rapidly, adding over 115,000 residents - nearly a 20% increase - between 2010 and 2020. As a result, logistics always felt complicated, from the traffic on the way to work each day to finding a parking space while visiting friends, and even getting a table at a restaurant."
"I often spend a night or two in Denver for a quick change of pace to enjoy some of the city's unique hotels. There are so many trendy options downtown (which is great if I'm heading to a concert or sporting event and don't want to drive home), and more upscale vibes in the Cherry Creek neighborhood, surrounded by shopping and art galleries."
A person moved from Louisiana to Denver in their late 20s and lived there for six years, attracted by a moderately sized city with easy mountain access. Rapid growth added over 115,000 residents — nearly 20% between 2010 and 2020 — creating traffic, parking, and dining challenges. Day-to-day logistics felt complicated and reduced desired peace, prompting a relocation to Boulder for a quieter pace and quicker mountain access. Denver remains appealing for day trips and staycations, offering many hotels including trendy downtown options, upscale Cherry Creek properties, and boutique hotels with distinct character. A thriving arts scene and multiple sports teams ensure frequent events and activities.
