My girlfriend and I are saving up to move in together. We're both from the East Coast, and we've never even traveled to the western half of the US, but I found a company that I want to work for after I graduate from college that's located in Denver.
A lot of what I've looked up makes Denver look like a fantastic place to live, but it's hard to find sources that aren't A.) Real Estate Agencies that will naturally aim to make the area look attractive, and B.) Random video bloggers who start off talking about Denver, but trail off onto irrelevant topics, making it so that you don't learn much about the area itself from them.
Does anybody here either live around there, or have gone there on vacation at some point and can give me some feedback? I already know a lot of the pros, e.g. the long strings of sunny days, the mountains nearby, great outdoorsy environments for biking and hiking, great culture, etc.
Anybody know of any cons that I might not have discovered yet? I know the winters can be cold, but I'm a Jersey guy, so I'm all too familiar with that already. That's all I've heard of when it comes to the drawbacks.
