User reviews of Denver
the low-down
as a 12 year resident, i think the 2 most overlooked things about denver are A: it's large mexican population B: it is flat, and not in the mountains, but 15 minutes away. the high plains are a unique climate compared to sea level, and not for everyone. violent thunderstorms w/ numerous funnel clouds are the norm from mid-may to july, and are very exciting. hail occurs often, and is sometimes large and dangerous. winters are cold but regular 60+ degree days occur throughout the cold season, providing frequent relief. denver doesn't strike me as a terribly educated city, though stats will say otherwise. racial tension occurs between hispanics & whites, but is not a serious issue. several sections of town are full-on mexican, which results in many tasty places to eat at a reasonable price. access to the rockies is great and easy, and boulder is 20 minutes NW of town. the nearest similarly sized city is over 500 miles away, giving a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. altitude sickness is over-hyped. a good city to move to if you're young and looking for a change - easy to score a job and apartment for reasonable prices. 5-9 hundred bucks a month for something cool and centrally located. probably the only city with a large amusement park with rollercoasters, etc. right downtown.

(Report Problem)Going Back soon
Denver is a beautiful place. Looking out at the Rockies makes the trip out there worth the flight. Traffic can be bad but not as bad as Atlanta (city I am closest too)

(Report Problem)Denver's Grown-Up
Denver has one of the best downtowns in America, especially for a city in the mid to large size. Some of the greatest neighborhoods exist in Denver and there is wonderful western victorian history and feel. Great city parks and extensive bycicle lanes and paths. Numerous museums and incredible restaurants.

(Report Problem)Just a glimpse
I liked the clean air, better than the bay area. I liked the people. Didn't like the extent of driving. Didn't get a chance to do any sightseeing since we were there for a specific purpose.

(Report Problem)Good outdoors, bad culture
Denver's a great town to enjoy the outdoors- incredible weather, great access to national parks, skiing, etc. However, I've found the people to be a little cold & reserved & very little to do other than athletic pursuits....ie, very little fine dining, fine art, & very little cultural diversity....but again- can't beat the weather & outdoor activities!
