Denver relocation, or relocation to any city for that matter, can raise the anxiety and a family.Inevitably, this leads to a series of questions about what it would be like to move to Denver or a suburban Denver neighborhood.
It's funny; the same questions keep coming up over and over again.As a Denver realtor since 1978 I have been helping families moved to Denver and heard these questions.Now, I've chronicled them into a Top 10 Denver Relocation's Questions list in the style David Letterman might give for his top 10.
For example, do you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle when you move to Denver? That question is Number 10 and the 10th most often asked. The answer is it depends on where you live in the Denver metro area. Folks living near downtown probably don’t need a four wheel drive vehicle if they can tolerate a couples days per winter when travel might be more difficult due to the weather. A physician on call to a hospital, for example, would still want to have vehicle that could push though one of the big snowstorms.
Most of the time our snowfalls come and go very quickly.Snow is usually off of the roads within a day after a good-sized storm.So, many people who live in town or are close to mass transportation like the new light-rail system do not have a four-wheel-drive vehicle. However, folks moving up into the foothill suburbs often find that they do need 4-wheel-drive vehicle in the family.
The foothills to the west and even the south of Denver can get twice the snow that falls in the City. Often, roads are not cleared quickly there except for the main arteries.
The most commonly asked questions in the top 10 are about Denver neighborhoods.What are the best schools?What neighborhoods are particularly kid friendly?What is the right neighborhood for me?
There are tons of great questions you might have about moving to Denver.
