Planning an Exploratory Visit to Denver

So, you’re considering a move to Denver! The process can seem daunting at first, but a little research and exploration can put things in motion. Follow this guide on prospecting the city to find your potential place. 

Determine desired proximity to work, schools, etc.

Having these factors nailed down will help you hone in on the areas to focus on. Consider the distance and commute time to your workplace, the quality of schools in the area if you have children, and any other important amenities or services you need to be close to. Note that certain areas are better located in Denver’s interstate system and allow for a faster commute despite the distance. 

Clarify desired lifestyle components

Think about the kind of lifestyle you want to have in Denver. Do you enjoy outdoor activities and parks? Are you a foodie looking for a vibrant restaurant scene? Do you prefer walkable neighborhoods with easy access to shops and entertainment? Identifying these lifestyle components will help you prioritize the neighborhoods that align with your preferences.

Identify areas best suited to your budget

Denver has a range of neighborhoods with varying housing costs. Determine your budget and look for areas that meet your other qualifications while staying within your financial means.
