What do I need to know about living in Denver?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Denver, they said:
"Before retiring in Denver, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than the national average. They should also research the local climate, which can be quite cold in the winter months. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Finally, they should consider the availability of recreational activities and entertainment options in the area," wrote one member in Denver.
"If you like camping and hiking and being in the outdoors, if you like skiing, if you like to have a suburban family life right outside a major city.... come on over," remarked one expat who made the move to Denver.
