23 yo single guy making about $55k before taxes and wondering on where to live.

Hello, Iā€™ve been doing lots of research and it seems that the cost of living is pretty high. I just graduated college a couple of months ago with a degree in finance and I am considering moving to Denver, out of a smaller town in Colorado to find more opportunities.

I could probably transfer to Denver with my current employer and I would more likely working near Centennial or DIA. I donā€™t mind a bit of a commute but would maybe prefer it to be less than an hour. I want to have some money for savings and other stuff after my necessities and I definitely donā€™t need anything flashy. I am unsure if I want to lean towards renting a house with roommates or just getting a small apartment. More likely something alone like a studio apartment but if renting a 3-4 bedroom house with 2-3 roommates would be significantly cheaper, than I would maybe try to talk to some friends or people I might know in the area and lean towards that.

Iā€™m currently averaging a little over $3k a month after taxes but if I was to move to Denver, I should expect at least a $5k yearly salary increase with my current employer. I am maybe looking to spend around $800-$1200 a month on housing and thatā€™s what kind of made me start leaning towards aurora. I am unsure if this is even possible there, I donā€™t want any cockroaches but if I need to maybe settle for a window AC or something like that that should be fine.

My main question deals with areas that would be nice for someone on my demographic. I would like to meet new people my age and maybe just be around other younger people. After some research, somewhere near Stanley market (since there are nursing student that live in the area) or Aurora highlands seemed popular for what I was looking for.

Iā€™ve also read people online recommended places like Capitol Hill, edgewater, RiNo, LoDo, etc but I am unsure as to how affordable those places are considering my income.

Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to save money in the meantime.

TLDR; what are some good affordable areas in Denver to live in for a young single adult who enjoys nightlife, meeting new people, and the outdoors.

Friends

(20M) I just moved into an apartment here after two years living in Littleton. The entire time I've lived in Colorado, I've made two friends, and my close friend of the two lives down in the springs. I'm not really sure where else to go to ask about this, but are there any good places in town to make some friends? I do carry a med card and smoke socially and for chronic pain if that helps at all, but it looks like it'll be get home from work, do nothing for a few hours, then go to sleep for the foreseeable future, and that isn't really something I want for myself. I'd really like to socialize more, whether it be out in public, or at my apartment. I love to cook and bake if that also helps, so please just let me know if there are any good places or anyone around that would want to become friends (preferably closer to my age, like 26 and under).

Hail damage question

My car got totaled from statefarm from hail damage, However, the car is in great shape aside from some dents and it is a nice volvo. I got my title and looked up the vin and it still says that it has not been in a total loss event. Carmax offered me 16k to take it off my hands, do I have to disclose that it is a total loss?

Looking to gauge interest: Aurora wine education.

Hello!

I'm a long time Aurora resident. I'm also a Certified Sommelier. I'd like to start a wine publication and my first goal will be to explore and rate Aurora's best locations for wine, cocktails, and food.

I've got close relationships with Mr. B's and Chambers Liquor already. Could anyone suggest great Aurora locations for me to scout out? I'm looking for wine and sprits retail (leave out the discount liquor stores, I'm only interested in finer libations) and great restaurants with good wine lists. I have a few in mind already, but I'm wondering if they are any which have slipped below my radar.

Also, if there is anyone in Aurora interested in wine education, please, suggest topics or feel free to ask me any questions your heart desires!

Xfinity is the devil

Anyone else having issues with their internet all week? From like 11am to 5pm it's been down or intermittent. Xfinity said they were replacing cables but that was yesterday.

I'm having a technician come tomorrow but just curious if it was a neighborhood thing or a me thing.

Hotels with good internet by Woolleyā€™s Classic

I normally stay at Woolleyā€™s, and love wooleys. Itā€™s amazing. Except the internet has had a bad issue with cutting out. Even on different stays.

Has anyone stayed at the other hotels nearby?

Pearl of Siam on Hampden

Just gotta say, best Thai food in Aurora. I only go maybe once per month because of budget, but this is always my first choice. The owner is a super nice guy too. Send them your love and your takeout orders if you are craving something delicious.

Trustworthy car shops in the area?

Good afternoon,

I was driving through the area and I noticed one of my wheel bearings was making a bad noise. It's something over my head when it comes to car repair, and not something I'd like to leave unaddressed. Does anyone here know any trustworthy car shops I can go to for getting it checked out?

Shoe shine?

Anyone know of a good place for a shoe shine? I hate doing it myself, and would gladly pay someone who does it professionally. I work on the Anschutz campus and live near Grandview HS and Saddle Rock golf course.

King Soopers in Del Mar Getting Renovation?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone had any insight as to what's going on with the King Soopers off of Peoria. I go to the Chuze in the same plaza regularly and noticed the scaffolding and tarps going up. Is that King Soopers finally getting a renovation? I know it was talked about a couple of times in the past.

Anyone has Kaiser Permanente and uses the mobile app?

Hi, Iā€™m currently a student enrolled in a research methods class and am in no way affiliated with Kaiser Permanente. Iā€™m working on a project to understand the current user experience of the Kaiser Permanente app on mobile devices. I'll be conducting another survey for a competitive app and I'll compare results using statistical analysis. The open-ended will just be used to identify common themes.

The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Iā€™d appreciate it if you could help out!

This survey is confidential. I am not collecting any personally identifiable information, and all responses will be used solely for this class and wonā€™t be shared outside of it.

Raising kids in Mission Viejo

We really like the Mission Viejo neighborhood and are thinking of moving in, but weā€™re wondering how it is for kids. We havenā€™t seen many children playing outside when weā€™ve looked around, and we wondered if anyone can chime in about what itā€™s like raising kids in the area.

Looking for recommendations for companies for foundation work, locally

Hi all! I bought one hell of a lemon house a few years ago, and have been fixing it up as I can afford to. Within three months of purchasing, my furnace, water heater, and sewer line took a dump on me. We recently had an AC unit installed (yay for cooler summers moving forward), and the next project that I have on my to do list is fixing my foundation. It's getting worse and worse as the months go on, more and bigger cracks are forming in my walls, and even my flooring is warping. Before my house collapses in on me, can you guys recommend a foundation company to repair the damage along with a landscaper to help prevent this from happening again?

Thank you all! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

IF HE KEEPS HIS PROMISE

For a moment assume Trumpā€™s promise to do mass deportation happens in Aurora & the Denver area or anywhere. Thousands of brown people will be terrified, hiding, running, etc. Thousands of non browns will feel great empathy for them & try to peacefully protest. Thousands of haters will march the streets supporting the removal of people. Violence will LIKELY break out. The next step could be Trump commanding the military to fire (shoot) on anyone on the streets. I doubt tanks will be used unless it drags on. Unknown if commanders or rank and file members of the US MILITARY will FOLLOW Trumpā€™s. order to execute citizens or REVOLT. Any military revolt will possibly lead to civil war.

In the meantime, many workers will be scared to go to work. Stores, restaurants, businesses and hence CONSUMERS will take a major $ hit. Job growth which has been good for 4 years will make a U TURN. Elon Musk will still have plenty of money. Oligarchy USA. We are the new backward Russia.
