Real Talk
- !Housing costs, both for buying and renting, are exceptionally high and represent a significant barrier for many.
- !While walkable, the transit infrastructure is only 'some transit,' making a car still highly desirable for many commutes.
- !The neighborhood is predominantly renter-occupied (over 2:1 ratio), which might not appeal to those seeking a strong, traditional owner-occupied community feel.
- !Urban living means less sprawling green space directly within the neighborhood, though parks are generally accessible.
- $High property taxes commensurate with the elevated home values.
- $Overall cost of living in Denver, including groceries and services, is above national averages.
- $Potentially higher car insurance rates due to the urban environment, even if you drive less.
