I'm looking for a space to do silks / aerials in. My house doesn't have high enough ceilings. I only need a room that's about 10ft x 10ft but has ~20ft ceilings that I can rent and keep a permanent silk point installed in. Does anyone know of place like that near golden?
Good morning! We have a slow leak in a tire and looking for a recommendation for tire repair in the Golden area please and thank you
I am the proud local, female owner of a family run electrical company here in Aurora. My husband is the Master Electrician and we are fully licensed and insured.
STOP LETTING HACKS DO WORK IN YOUR HOUSE! We have lost quite a few potential jobs because there is someone else who will come do it cheaper. There is a huge risk of your home burning down! Incorrect wiring size, incorrect terminations, putting too much of a load on your panel… the list goes on.
The cheaper guys usually don’t carry insurance either. And you have to hold a masters license to have your electrical contractors license also. Please do your research on who you hire. My father’s house burned down 3 days before Christmas when he was a little boy due to faulty wiring.
Give us a call and we will be more than happy to come take a look! Thanks so much!!
I'm currently in the rental market in Golden. For those that have or currently live there, what are your impressions? My partner and I are in our late 20s, and have a dog. I really value trail access, which looks great there. Dog-walking and running looks great there too. There is super easy access to the climbing gym which is a plus, and at least one coffee shop.
But it's a drive away from downtown. We're probably fine with that, but I'd rather not feel too socially isolated. Do you find that it's easy to still get out to bars and restaurants? If you do, are you driving or walking? How do you find access to groceries?
Commuting to Denver is also a consideration, but it looks like as far as that goes, it should be really no different than being anywhere else in Golden.
Any other general impressions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Howdy. I'm in unincorporated Golden, and need to get rid of a bunch of leaves I collected from my lawn. Is there a place in Jeffco (or even in another nearby area) where I can get rid of these bags of leaves (plastic bags) for a reasonable fee?
I heard two bikes race up north wash at around 945 this morning. My best estimate is maybe 50-60 mph. It’s a kid zone dude.
gotta love the cranes LED sign
Any mom and pop ski shops that provide daily rentals?
Hey all! Our family of a wife and two kids hope to move to a decent area that’s walkable with good schools. We were wondering what areas of Golden are not great for a family if any! I looked and it seems like West Pleasant View checks a lot of our boxes, but didn’t know if anyone knew more about it from a personal perspective. We can’t quite afford to buy in proper Golden.
Hi everybody,
I’m heading to Colorado for a wedding in July and may stay in Golden. How available and reliable is the public transportation in Golden? Or if I was to head to downtown Denver/DIA, are buses and light rail commonly used?
Thank you in advance! Looking forward to seeing your beautiful city.
Hi all! So I’m heading up to Golden to propose to my partner in a month (and moving up!), which means it’ll probably be snowy since it is December and all— I am from southern Alabama and I’m not deeply familiar with Golden (I’ve been there maybe a total of 7 months over four years)!
I was wondering if there’s any indoor or outdoor spots you would recommend? My partner really loves the Christmas lights and I’m already thinking around Clear Creek for an outdoor location, but I’m kind of stuck on any indoor spots! Thank you!
'nuff said.... I live here.
What’s the best breakfast from belmar all the way through golden? #keeppleasentviewweird
There’s a very large herd of Elk - easily 100+ gathered just west of rt 6 across from Fossil Trace. One bull was closest to 6 at the flashing crossing thinking about crossing towards the golf course. Very cool to see so many down this way so early. 🦌🦌🦌
We are headed Golden next week for concert at Red Rocks. It's a short trip but we are hoping to pack it with seeing the area. Looking for some cool restaurants, breweries and some places we should make sure we visit. We love finding those hidden gem restaurants.
Is there any place around Black Hawk or Golden areas I can park my car and sleep in it where I won't be told to move on? I'm not that picky honestly. I'll sleep in Nederland, Pinecliff or anywhere.
Thanks
Moving to Golden for a job in Littleton and planning to drive this route daily. Anyone with experience on this commute? How’s the traffic, best routes, and any tips for avoiding congestion? Thanks!
My significant other and I are moving to Colorado in early 2025. He has a job in Boulder and I will likely be commuting to Denver. We were curious about the commute time from Golden to Denver. Google maps says it takes approximately 20-25 mins but I’m wondering if that’s totally accurate? I’d be in office probably everyday.
Hi, we’re coming to visit next spring and I’m wondering what are some good places to hike around/in Golden?
Good evening!! As title says, I live on East St and am just curious if we will have trick or treaters this year or if Golden does something different for Halloween. Just moved here this year and am curious what happens on Halloween!!
Hello all! I will be passing through Golden in a campervan in a couple weeks and want to park overnight for one night (preferably at a campground but anywhere safe will do) close to downtown. We want to be able to walk back to our van after exploring the downtown area and not have to worry about driving anywhere if we decide to have a beer or two. Please let me know of any recommendations! :)
Need to get car temp tags and none of the jeffco DMV locations have any appointments listed for this week. Does anyone know if any of the Jeffco DMVs still take walk ins?
I know the big one at the courthouse is appt only, but what about the smaller locations?
I don't mind going and sitting there for hours if need to, just can't realistically wait until any of the available appointments.
Colorado office seekers routinely make their stances known on issues like the economy, taxes, energy development and gun control. But as more people struggle with mental health challenges, state candidates should let voters know how they stand on mental health policy, too.
Hi again! This month's women in data science networking event will be held on October 31st at 6:30 pm, at the Rayback Collective. Feel free to dress up, if you'd like!

Hi!! I’m 26f looking to move to Golden in the spring for a job at Anschutz Hospital or St Joseph’s. Is it realistic to think I can commute (and be on time for work!) 3 days a week? It would mostly be night shifts 7pm-7am. I’m not a city person so I really want to live IN the mountains rather than just looking at a mountain :)
Concerned about traffic and rumors of road closures due to snow? Maybe 3 days of traffic would make living in such a beautiful place worth it?
Also, are there many young professionals for friendship and dating in Golden? I’m an outdoorsy gal and love to go to the gym. Not a skier. I don’t want to be super isolated.
I just returned from a 4 day visit to Denver, CO Springs, and Golden. Golden was amazing (I know it’s very expensive).
Thanks for the help!!
