Moving or thinking about visiting Denver? Post your questions here! Weekly Q & A Thread -- 04/05 - 04/12

Questions that didn't get replies from last week's thread:

Hello everyone in Denver. I am planning to move there in late May or early June. I am curious about transportation as I don't plan to buy a car at first. I'm not coming out with a set job but I have a great resume for restaurant work in all types, I was a general manager of a brand new restaurant and helped establish it. I was wondering if it is worth me paying the extra rent per month to try and rent as close to the heart of the city as possible or I should look in the out skirts for roommates. I'm not a big party person and I'm very clean. I just wanted some opinions on what is the best areas to look for renting an apartment within walking distance of hopeful transportation or downtown.

I'm visiting my old best friend in two weeks in your wonderful city. I hail from the desolate and infinite plains of central Illinois. There are about 4 days and I'll be left to my own devices with my girlfriend and a motor scooter. What are some must dos? Thanks yall.

Hi everyone. I'm moving to Denver in a month with my fiancé. We are needing to find an apartment or house to rent that is pet friendly. Would like at least 2 bedrooms. I'd also really like somewhere with an outdoor entrance or a balcony. We are looking near South Denver or one of the suburbs around there. What would you recommend?

Yo Denver! First thanks for all the helpful answers on last weeks thread to assist me in my apartment search out there. I have a few more questions though since you all rock.

  1. Does anyone know local movers and the cost associated with just emptying out the U-Haul I drive out there into my apartment? Better yet what will is take to bribe a bunch of you to come help me carry shit?
  2. Are any of you insurance brokers or know a good one? I will need renters and car insurance out there.
  3. If my job starts on 4/20 should I just expect everyone to go out and get Mile High after?

Thanks again Denver!

Hey /r/denver[1] ! I've already signed up for the FB groups, done some sleuthing. I'm here because I've been talking to someone about a place in Broomfield but I'm not sure if I want to live there or closer to Denver proper. I'm looking for:

  • $400-$700 max rent

  • Backyard

  • Large dogs OK (I have a husky, she's an easy keeper)

  • Older, or responsible younger, roommates who communicate well

I'm respectful of 420 rules, and don't smoke often and will generally arrange a get together away from my house. I'm quiet and clean, and cook a lot. I get along with pretty much anyone, but am definitely a learned/bookish/outdoorsy/active/yoga-type of person. I'm very into farmer's markets, motorcycles, guns, and cooking.

Would I have a better time finding a place like this in the city or outside of it? I want to be closer to the action, so I'm thinking Denver proper, but I'm having a hard time finding a place that seems like I'd be comfortable.
