    in this map tour video I'm going to show
  • 00:00:02
    you guys some things that you must
  • 00:00:03
    absolutely know before you move to the
  • 00:00:04
    Denver Colorado area on top of that I'm
  • 00:00:06
    going to dive into some of our personal
  • 00:00:08
    clients favorite neighborhoods and
  • 00:00:10
    favorite cities that they're moving to
  • 00:00:11
    on a daily basis and then we're going to
  • 00:00:13
    dive into some places that might look
  • 00:00:15
    appealing but you might want to think
  • 00:00:16
    twice before making the commitment to
  • 00:00:18
    move there we're going to go over that
  • 00:00:20
    and so much more in this video so let's
  • 00:00:22
    dive right into
  • 00:00:25
    [Music]
  • 00:00:28
    it
  • 00:00:33
    now one of the first things I want to
  • 00:00:34
    cover with you guys in this video is
  • 00:00:36
    really getting a feel for how the state
  • 00:00:38
    is laid out as a whole so essentially I
  • 00:00:40
    want to zoom out a little bit and I want
  • 00:00:41
    to give you guys some context in terms
  • 00:00:43
    of what exactly is the Denver metro area
  • 00:00:45
    what's considered far north what's
  • 00:00:47
    considered far south what's considered
  • 00:00:48
    the Foothills and the mountains just to
  • 00:00:50
    really give us some good context before
  • 00:00:52
    diving into some specific areas because
  • 00:00:54
    if you're not familiar with Colorado
  • 00:00:55
    quite yet maybe you've seen a bunch of
  • 00:00:57
    our videos on individual cities this is
  • 00:00:59
    going to be a really good way for you to
  • 00:01:00
    get a feel for just the areas in general
  • 00:01:03
    and the gist of kind of what's going on
  • 00:01:04
    in each one of those spots because there
  • 00:01:06
    are definitely going to be some
  • 00:01:07
    differences for you all right now to
  • 00:01:08
    start off we've got a general map of
  • 00:01:10
    Denver here what I'm going to do I'm
  • 00:01:11
    going to zoom out just a little bit
  • 00:01:12
    because I want to I want to paint some
  • 00:01:14
    context for what's considered far north
  • 00:01:16
    what's considered far south and then as
  • 00:01:18
    you guys can see as I zoom out even
  • 00:01:19
    further if you guys are familiar with
  • 00:01:21
    our Channel at all you got Will's clock
  • 00:01:22
    analogy where basically you've got
  • 00:01:24
    Denver as the center of the clock right
  • 00:01:27
    which is right here boom all right we've
  • 00:01:30
    got Denver right here in the middle and
  • 00:01:31
    then all of our major Metro cities are
  • 00:01:35
    going to surround the outside of it now
  • 00:01:38
    Fort Collins is going to be up on the
  • 00:01:39
    North side okay they're going to come
  • 00:01:40
    down we've got Boulder we've got
  • 00:01:41
    Colorado Springs on the far south end
  • 00:01:44
    and then everything here in the middle
  • 00:01:46
    and Denver almost smack dab in the
  • 00:01:48
    middle now Fort Collins is going to feel
  • 00:01:50
    quite a bit ways we do have quite a bit
  • 00:01:52
    more people moving to Fort Collins now
  • 00:01:54
    it is becoming much much more developed
  • 00:01:56
    and it's growing in popularity for sure
  • 00:01:58
    Fort Collins being right up here and
  • 00:02:00
    that's basically the northern equivalent
  • 00:02:02
    to Colorado Springs that we have on the
  • 00:02:04
    south side now Colorado Springs is the
  • 00:02:06
    second largest city in Colorado next to
  • 00:02:08
    Denver and Fort Collins isn't nearly as
  • 00:02:11
    big as that but again it is ever growing
  • 00:02:13
    so Fort Collins on the North side we've
  • 00:02:15
    got Colorado Springs on the south side
  • 00:02:16
    now neither one of these areas are
  • 00:02:19
    necessarily considered Denver Metro okay
  • 00:02:22
    so for Denver Metro let's zoom in and
  • 00:02:24
    touch and we're going to get a feel for
  • 00:02:26
    what exactly that encompasses all right
  • 00:02:29
    interrupting here real quick guys to
  • 00:02:31
    remind you that we are licensed real
  • 00:02:32

  • 00:02:33

  • 00:02:34
    screen right now and if you give us a
  • 00:02:35

  • 00:02:39
    Ru estate needs matter of fact will is
  • 00:02:40
    out showing some you guys right now
  • 00:02:42
    that's why I am in the office doing this
  • 00:02:43
    map recording for you guys giving you
  • 00:02:46
    guys all the insights as far as the best
  • 00:02:47
    areas to move to so with that being said
  • 00:02:49
    guys let's get right back to it again if
  • 00:02:52
    we've got Denver right here in the
  • 00:02:54
    middle we're going to have Boulder on
  • 00:02:57
    the North side all right that's going to
  • 00:02:58
    Encompass Lafayette Brighton and then
  • 00:03:01
    throughout here we're going to have
  • 00:03:02
    Broomfield Superior and then Longmont
  • 00:03:04
    just a little bit north and then on the
  • 00:03:06
    south side of what I would consider the
  • 00:03:07
    metro area would be Castle Rock here on
  • 00:03:10
    the south side and then through here
  • 00:03:12
    we've got golden and Morrison this is
  • 00:03:15
    all going to be just right here on the
  • 00:03:18
    Front Range and the Foothills and then
  • 00:03:19
    on the east side borders we've got
  • 00:03:22
    Aurora and then we've got Parker here on
  • 00:03:25
    kind of the southeast side and then I
  • 00:03:27
    live down here in Elizabeth the like
  • 00:03:30
    rural City but still 45 minutes to an
  • 00:03:32
    hour Max from Denver which is really
  • 00:03:35
    nice you know some people may argue that
  • 00:03:36
    they would say that the Denver metro
  • 00:03:38
    area is a little bit tighter than this
  • 00:03:40
    but for the most part this is how I
  • 00:03:41
    reference it with Boulder on the North
  • 00:03:43
    side Castle Rock on the south side and
  • 00:03:45
    then really everything in between now
  • 00:03:47
    here's the beautiful part about this if
  • 00:03:49
    we're looking at coming from Castle Rock
  • 00:03:52
    to Denver you're going to be jumping
  • 00:03:54
    just right on I25 taking that straight
  • 00:03:56
    up north and depending on the time of
  • 00:03:58
    day this is probably about 35 minutes so
  • 00:04:00
    when we're looking at these Maps it's
  • 00:04:01
    easy to look at it and think man that's
  • 00:04:03
    like a really far distance right I don't
  • 00:04:04
    know how that can all be considered the
  • 00:04:05
    metro area but in reality like I just
  • 00:04:07
    explained because the way our our
  • 00:04:09
    Highway systems are laid out it becomes
  • 00:04:11
    just very very easy to navigate and with
  • 00:04:14
    Denver being at that center of the clock
  • 00:04:16
    it's very very accessible because
  • 00:04:17
    everything is just coming inward now
  • 00:04:19
    while I'm on this screen I do want to
  • 00:04:21
    point out a couple of the major highways
  • 00:04:23
    that you guys are going to want to get
  • 00:04:24
    familiar with okay the primary North
  • 00:04:26
    South Highway or rather Interstate that
  • 00:04:28
    we have is I25 so that is going to come
  • 00:04:31
    from you know pretty much all the way
  • 00:04:34
    down south and it's going to cut up it's
  • 00:04:36
    going to curve here in the middle
  • 00:04:37
    through Denver and then keep going
  • 00:04:39
    straight up north to Fort Collins and
  • 00:04:42
    beyond all right and then we've got I70
  • 00:04:44
    that's going to basically divide the
  • 00:04:46
    state into North and South so I25
  • 00:04:48
    divides a state East and West so let go
  • 00:04:51
    and do this East and West all right and
  • 00:04:54
    then we've got I70 that will take you
  • 00:04:57
    pretty much from Kansas take you all the
  • 00:04:59
    way through Denver and then we'll take
  • 00:05:01
    you all the way out into the mountains
  • 00:05:04
    and all the major ski resorts and
  • 00:05:06
    everything like that so then this is
  • 00:05:08
    what divides our state by North and
  • 00:05:10
    South these are the primary highways
  • 00:05:12
    that you're going to be utilizing on
  • 00:05:15
    probably a daily basis depending on what
  • 00:05:16
    you got to do and then there's a couple
  • 00:05:18
    more that I want to point out so one
  • 00:05:20
    more very common one is going to be 470
  • 00:05:22
    now 470 is going to be this Loop that
  • 00:05:25
    goes all along the Foothills there on
  • 00:05:27
    the west side it is then cut through
  • 00:05:28
    Highlands ran
  • 00:05:30
    and Lone Tree the north side of Parker
  • 00:05:32
    and then South Aurora here and then this
  • 00:05:34
    is going to curve up all the way just on
  • 00:05:36
    the outskirts of Aurora and will'll
  • 00:05:39
    eventually take you all the way up here
  • 00:05:41
    to the airport Dia all right Denver
  • 00:05:44
    national airport so this 470 Loop here
  • 00:05:47
    is what they'll call it this is a very
  • 00:05:49
    very popular road on the east side here
  • 00:05:52
    it is a t Road it is free on the west
  • 00:05:55
    side but very popular and because this
  • 00:05:57
    is great this is the road that's going
  • 00:05:58
    to take you from Southeast Aurora you
  • 00:06:01
    could keep going all the way up north
  • 00:06:02
    from Southeast Aurora up into Boulder
  • 00:06:05
    right here or if you're in Highlands
  • 00:06:07
    Ranch or parker you're going to take
  • 00:06:09
    this all the way up I70 into the
  • 00:06:11
    mountains these are basic highways here
  • 00:06:13
    that you guys are going to want to get
  • 00:06:14
    familiar with and as far as traffic goes
  • 00:06:16
    let's talk traffic real quick so as far
  • 00:06:18
    as traffic goes I70 is going to have
  • 00:06:21
    quite a bit of traffic especially from
  • 00:06:24
    along this stretch here from Denver to
  • 00:06:26
    Aurora this is where it gets the worst
  • 00:06:28
    during rush hour I2 is going to be
  • 00:06:30
    pretty quick moving unless there's an
  • 00:06:32
    accident or something so a couple places
  • 00:06:34
    I25 will get congested is right here as
  • 00:06:37
    you start getting closer to downtown
  • 00:06:38
    Denver sometimes right here where this
  • 00:06:41
    is the Denver Tech Center this is where
  • 00:06:43
    there's a lot of corporate buildings and
  • 00:06:44
    things like that when work is letting
  • 00:06:46
    out at 5:00 this does get a little busy
  • 00:06:48
    and then sometimes coming out of Castle
  • 00:06:50
    Rock here at the very bottom of the
  • 00:06:51
    screen that can get a little congested
  • 00:06:53
    as well so you've got these couple
  • 00:06:54
    little choke points here but ultimately
  • 00:06:56
    our traffic is not that bad when it
  • 00:06:59
    comes to our highways or interstates or
  • 00:07:01
    anything like that again a lot of you
  • 00:07:02
    guys coming from major cities you're
  • 00:07:04
    going to look at our traffic like it is
  • 00:07:06
    a literal joke we hear that from people
  • 00:07:07
    all the time sometimes we're talking to
  • 00:07:09
    locals that have lived here for a long
  • 00:07:10
    time and they're going to complain about
  • 00:07:11
    the traffic but you know we're an never
  • 00:07:13
    growing city and it still is really not
  • 00:07:15
    that bad if you're ever just straight up
  • 00:07:17
    stopped in traffic it's almost always
  • 00:07:19
    just because there is an accident not
  • 00:07:21
    because it's just your regular everyday
  • 00:07:24
    [Music]
  • 00:07:28
    traffic
  • 00:07:29
    [Music]
  • 00:07:32
    okay now as promised let's dive into
  • 00:07:34
    some of the most popular areas that our
  • 00:07:36
    clients are choosing to move to no
  • 00:07:38
    particular order I'll recap that at the
  • 00:07:39
    end and tell you guys what number one is
  • 00:07:41
    we do have quite a bit of people that
  • 00:07:42
    are moving to Boulder okay Boulder is
  • 00:07:44
    going to be very popular out here in
  • 00:07:46
    Colorado it is as we would call you know
  • 00:07:48
    it almost like the Beverly Hills of
  • 00:07:50
    Colorado by no means do have Beverly
  • 00:07:52
    Hill shopping or home prices or anything
  • 00:07:54
    like that but it's just that prestigious
  • 00:07:55
    name it always holds its value they do
  • 00:07:58
    have the number one school district it
  • 00:07:59
    is an extremely extremely popular area
  • 00:08:01
    out here in the state now coming back
  • 00:08:03
    here I would say next up after that uh
  • 00:08:05
    just as we're working our way down is
  • 00:08:07
    going to be Denver Denver also very
  • 00:08:10
    popular as you guys may have guessed by
  • 00:08:12
    the name of our Channel and one thing
  • 00:08:14
    that I think is important to know about
  • 00:08:16
    uh Denver is that a lot of our clients
  • 00:08:18
    they're not moving into downtown Denver
  • 00:08:20
    or even immediate vicinity there are a
  • 00:08:22
    lot of what I would call Urban Suburban
  • 00:08:24
    type of neighborhoods that are around
  • 00:08:25
    there you guys have heard us talk about
  • 00:08:26
    them we made videos on all of them
  • 00:08:28
    between South Park Hill lower Highlands
  • 00:08:31
    you know city park and Cheeseman Park
  • 00:08:33
    Wash Park all the amazing parks and kind
  • 00:08:35
    of urban Suburban type of neighborhoods
  • 00:08:37
    that are out there you're having a
  • 00:08:38
    certain type of buyer go there where
  • 00:08:40
    they want a little bit more of a faster
  • 00:08:41
    paced life maybe a little bit more
  • 00:08:43
    walkability than just straight up
  • 00:08:44
    Suburbia but at the same time they like
  • 00:08:47
    having a garage they can park in they
  • 00:08:48
    like having a yard that their kids can
  • 00:08:50
    play in and Colorado is just such an
  • 00:08:52
    indoor outdoor State all year round
  • 00:08:55
    despite our Winters people are still
  • 00:08:57
    you're going to be grilling all the time
  • 00:08:58
    outside kids are going to be playing
  • 00:08:59
    outside all the time even in the winter
  • 00:09:00
    time so it is important for a lot of
  • 00:09:02
    people to have their yard and stuff like
  • 00:09:03
    that which I think is one of the biggest
  • 00:09:05
    reasons that you don't see as many
  • 00:09:06
    people moving to right downtown Denver
  • 00:09:08
    after that we're going to have Highlands
  • 00:09:11
    Ranch and Littleton also very popular
  • 00:09:14
    working our way down south The Castle
  • 00:09:15
    Rock and then Parker and then this
  • 00:09:18
    Southeast Aurora area right here these
  • 00:09:20
    are the top spots that we see our
  • 00:09:22
    clients deciding to move to on a regular
  • 00:09:24
    basis and one interesting thing to note
  • 00:09:26
    guys is that you know a lot of the
  • 00:09:27
    people that are moving here especially
  • 00:09:29
    like viewers from our Channel a lot of
  • 00:09:30
    you guys are remote working or a lot of
  • 00:09:32
    you guys you know have a variety of jobs
  • 00:09:35
    or offices that you can choose from when
  • 00:09:37
    you move out here so you're not
  • 00:09:38
    necessarily tied to needing to buy in
  • 00:09:40
    one certain area but for the most part
  • 00:09:42
    we see people coming here and it's like
  • 00:09:44
    hey if you can live at any of these
  • 00:09:46
    places why are we choosing to live in
  • 00:09:48
    these right so you you definitely start
  • 00:09:50
    to see just a trend with people that can
  • 00:09:52
    live anywhere where they all kind of
  • 00:09:54
    just start picking and I would say by
  • 00:09:56
    and far our number one area that we have
  • 00:09:58
    people moving to is is the South Denver
  • 00:10:00
    Metro side okay so South Metro side
  • 00:10:03
    being Highlands Ranch Parker Southeast
  • 00:10:05
    Aurora and then Castle Rock our offices
  • 00:10:07
    in downtown Castle Rock we do like
  • 00:10:09
    Castle Rock I'm biased to liking Castle
  • 00:10:11
    Rock but also a lot of you guys that are
  • 00:10:13
    coming here that can pick anywhere
  • 00:10:15
    you're choosing to live in Castle Rock
  • 00:10:16
    so out of all these places that are here
  • 00:10:18
    Castle Rock tends to be the number one
  • 00:10:20
    choice for the majority of people all
  • 00:10:22
    the areas that I mentioned are great all
  • 00:10:23
    the areas that I mentioned have school
  • 00:10:25
    districts that are in the top three to
  • 00:10:27
    five in the whole state so there's a lot
  • 00:10:29
    of really good things about all of these
  • 00:10:31
    areas but time and time again we just
  • 00:10:33
    see more people choosing Castle Rock
  • 00:10:35
    over a lot of the other areas now
  • 00:10:37
    speaking of crock let's dive into that a
  • 00:10:39
    little bit just to get you guys a little
  • 00:10:40
    bit more familiar with the city itself
  • 00:10:42
    and then a couple of the key
  • 00:10:43
    neighborhoods that you're going to want
  • 00:10:44
    to explore all right so here we go let's
  • 00:10:46
    goe and zoom in here a touch so we're
  • 00:10:48
    going to start off with the borders of
  • 00:10:51
    Castle Rock and show you guys exactly
  • 00:10:52
    what that looks like so I am going to
  • 00:10:54
    include Castle Pines here because that's
  • 00:10:56
    like the the little sister more mature
  • 00:10:58
    tree these different style of homes but
  • 00:11:01
    you're literally touching Castle Rock
  • 00:11:03
    and it's definitely worth having on
  • 00:11:04
    there I always put those two together
  • 00:11:06
    here on the outside you're going to have
  • 00:11:08
    the meadows and then you're going to
  • 00:11:10
    have a lot of your shopping here you're
  • 00:11:11
    going to have the historic downtown on
  • 00:11:14
    the south side and then we're going to
  • 00:11:15
    come up around for the terrain
  • 00:11:17
    neighborhood then we're going to come up
  • 00:11:19
    here I'm going to include a little bit
  • 00:11:20
    of this right here which is going to be
  • 00:11:22
    mananta and that's going to bring us
  • 00:11:25
    right over here and there's a couple of
  • 00:11:27
    little pocket neighborhoods that are
  • 00:11:28
    right here and then we're going to touch
  • 00:11:29
    on these just just a little bit here so
  • 00:11:31
    let me zoom in just a little bit more
  • 00:11:33
    and what you guys are going to find so
  • 00:11:35
    by far I would say the most popular
  • 00:11:37
    neighborhood that we're going to have in
  • 00:11:38
    Castle Rock at the moment is going to be
  • 00:11:41
    the Meadows The Meadows is one of my
  • 00:11:43
    favorites because first of all you're
  • 00:11:44
    going to have multiple neighborhoods
  • 00:11:46
    within the Meadows Community I think
  • 00:11:48
    there's like eight or 13 neighborhoods
  • 00:11:50
    within the actual Meadows themselves
  • 00:11:51
    there's a couple different rec centers
  • 00:11:53
    which service the neighborhood which are
  • 00:11:54
    really good pools and just great for the
  • 00:11:57
    whole sense of community and getting in
  • 00:11:58
    touch with your neighbors you've got
  • 00:12:00
    Philip es Miller Park down there which
  • 00:12:02
    is a huge Park a great Amphitheater
  • 00:12:04
    soccer fields indoor rock climbing this
  • 00:12:07
    mini incline they'll call it we you go
  • 00:12:08
    it's just basically stairs that go up a
  • 00:12:10
    hill for a good Saturday workout and
  • 00:12:12
    then a really really cool obstacle
  • 00:12:13
    course that's going to be over there now
  • 00:12:15
    the homes that you're going to find out
  • 00:12:17
    there are going to range anywhere from
  • 00:12:20
    1990s builds all the way up to brand new
  • 00:12:22
    homes kind of everything in between I
  • 00:12:24
    like that there's a lot of character out
  • 00:12:26
    there the neighborhood does have a good
  • 00:12:27
    sense of maturity as far as trees Parks
  • 00:12:30
    Landscaping things like that but you can
  • 00:12:33
    still get the wide variety of homes that
  • 00:12:35
    you may be looking for whether that's an
  • 00:12:37
    older home that you can do some updates
  • 00:12:39
    to and get some value in or an older
  • 00:12:41
    home that's been updated or just a
  • 00:12:43
    completely brand new home now the other
  • 00:12:45
    thing I Love About The Meadows which I
  • 00:12:47
    am actually going to jump over to Google
  • 00:12:49
    Earth to show you guys being on the west
  • 00:12:51
    side of the highway so here we've got
  • 00:12:53
    I25 going north and south and then we've
  • 00:12:55
    got the Meadows here on the the west
  • 00:12:58
    side if I go ahead and tilt this here
  • 00:13:00
    you guys are going to get a real cool
  • 00:13:01
    perspective of just the lay of the land
  • 00:13:04
    here in Castle Rock but then when I look
  • 00:13:06
    left
  • 00:13:07
    here here we've got the Meadows right
  • 00:13:09
    here in the center of the screen and as
  • 00:13:12
    I zoom in here man you can just tell
  • 00:13:15
    that you're starting to get into some
  • 00:13:17
    really cool nature here we've got some
  • 00:13:19
    big Bluffs just look at the terrain that
  • 00:13:21
    you see here in Castle Rock as you're
  • 00:13:23
    driving through Castle Rock guys you
  • 00:13:25
    just see you're surrounded by just
  • 00:13:27
    beautiful mountainy type of terrain
  • 00:13:29
    you're not in the mountains yet but
  • 00:13:31
    you're surrounded by just just beautiful
  • 00:13:34
    land and you actually feel like you're
  • 00:13:36
    in Colorado and that's a very big thing
  • 00:13:37
    like believe it or not there's a lot of
  • 00:13:39
    places that you could live out here
  • 00:13:40
    where you know if you couldn't
  • 00:13:41
    physically see the mountains you
  • 00:13:43
    wouldn't necessarily know that you're in
  • 00:13:44
    Colorado cast rock is not one of those
  • 00:13:46
    places so much of the scenery comes to
  • 00:13:48
    you in Castro without you needing to go
  • 00:13:51
    to it like you do in a lot of other
  • 00:13:52
    places but with the Meadows being pretty
  • 00:13:55
    much the only major development on the
  • 00:13:58
    west side of the Highway here with the
  • 00:14:00
    exception of Castle Pines it's just
  • 00:14:02
    really in a unique situation to where
  • 00:14:04
    it's a popular area it's mature there's
  • 00:14:06
    so many good things about The Meadows it
  • 00:14:08
    by far is probably the most popular
  • 00:14:10
    neighborhood that we have here for
  • 00:14:12
    clients that are choosing to move to
  • 00:14:13
    Castle Rock now moving a little bit
  • 00:14:14
    north up the map here I want to touch on
  • 00:14:16
    some of these other areas for you guys
  • 00:14:18
    Highlands Ranch is going to be a big
  • 00:14:19
    draw for a lot of people because you are
  • 00:14:22
    further on the West Side you are further
  • 00:14:24
    north if you're trying to be a little
  • 00:14:26
    bit closer to Denver you could
  • 00:14:27
    potentially save some time there but one
  • 00:14:29
    of the important things to note is that
  • 00:14:31
    yes in Highlands Ranch you are further
  • 00:14:32
    west again here's I25 right that primary
  • 00:14:36
    Highway that runs north and south
  • 00:14:37
    divides the state into two halves on
  • 00:14:40
    East and West so yes you're physically
  • 00:14:42
    further north in Highlands Ranch here
  • 00:14:44
    but because you're West if you are going
  • 00:14:46
    to Denver you might need to jump on 470
  • 00:14:49
    get on the highway and then go all the
  • 00:14:52
    way up North to Denver versus if you
  • 00:14:54
    live someplace like Castle Rock you're
  • 00:14:56
    already right on the highway so you're
  • 00:14:58
    just jumping on on the highway and head
  • 00:14:59
    north although you're further south so a
  • 00:15:01
    lot of times people are like well I like
  • 00:15:03
    Castle Rock but I want to be closer to
  • 00:15:04
    Denver maybe I'll look at Highlands
  • 00:15:06
    Ranch one important thing to know is
  • 00:15:07
    that you're further west so you still
  • 00:15:09
    have to drive east to go north versus
  • 00:15:11
    Castle Rock you're already on the
  • 00:15:12
    highway and you're just a little bit
  • 00:15:13
    further south but you're driving
  • 00:15:14
    straight up so a lot of those are at six
  • 00:15:16
    in one hand half dozen in the other and
  • 00:15:18
    ultimately ends up being kind of the
  • 00:15:19
    same whichever direction you choose now
  • 00:15:22
    we also have a lot of people that are
  • 00:15:23
    choosing to move out here and they are
  • 00:15:25
    needing to be close to the airport so
  • 00:15:27
    let's talk about some place is where we
  • 00:15:29
    can get easy access to DIA here one of
  • 00:15:31
    the big places that we like to recommend
  • 00:15:33
    are is H Southeast aora you're right on
  • 00:15:35
    470 here so it's just a matter of
  • 00:15:37
    jumping on 470 and you're going to come
  • 00:15:39
    straight North this is probably a 22 to
  • 00:15:42
    25 minute drive Max South the Aurora
  • 00:15:45
    very very easy to access Dia now if
  • 00:15:48
    you're on the West Side let's say in a
  • 00:15:50
    Highlands Ranch you're still close to
  • 00:15:52
    470 so maybe add just another 15 to 20
  • 00:15:56
    minute commute here on 470 so this is
  • 00:15:59
    also a good option for you and then
  • 00:16:01
    lastly we've got Parker down here at the
  • 00:16:02
    bottom of the screen it's a sloppy line
  • 00:16:04
    there where you're just under 470 so
  • 00:16:07
    this will get you pretty close there as
  • 00:16:08
    well even some place like Castro guys
  • 00:16:11
    because again you're so close to the
  • 00:16:12
    highway if you are needing to access the
  • 00:16:14
    airport on a regular basis You're simply
  • 00:16:16
    taking 470 all the way out to I25 and
  • 00:16:20
    then down to Castle Rock this is
  • 00:16:21
    probably a 40-minute drive right here so
  • 00:16:24
    with our entire Denver metro area you're
  • 00:16:26
    usually well under an hour to the
  • 00:16:29
    airport even with traffic because it's
  • 00:16:31
    typically all highway to get out there
  • 00:16:32
    where it is going to start getting a
  • 00:16:34
    little more difficult for you is let's
  • 00:16:35
    say You're really trying to be close to
  • 00:16:37
    the Foothills and we're looking at like
  • 00:16:38
    a Morrison or you're down here in a
  • 00:16:40
    rockboro park or a golden yeah you're
  • 00:16:43
    going to be pushing an hour to get to
  • 00:16:44
    the airport especially depending on
  • 00:16:46
    traffic there so just something to keep
  • 00:16:48
    in
  • 00:16:52
    [Music]
  • 00:16:57
    mind now if you guys remember at the
  • 00:16:59
    beginning of this video I mentioned some
  • 00:17:00
    places that may look beautiful but you
  • 00:17:03
    might want to think twice before living
  • 00:17:05
    there well this is what I'm talking
  • 00:17:06
    about so first of all let's go ahead and
  • 00:17:09
    draw out like just what the Front Range
  • 00:17:11
    is right here so I would consider the
  • 00:17:13
    Denver metro Front Range to be about uh
  • 00:17:16
    Roxboro Park here on the south side and
  • 00:17:18
    pretty much anywhere you see green is
  • 00:17:20
    going to be where the mountains turn
  • 00:17:22
    into just normal flat land you know and
  • 00:17:24
    you're going to have some kind of
  • 00:17:25
    sloping Rock structures and stuff here
  • 00:17:27
    we'll show you some Drone footage of
  • 00:17:28
    Roxboro park right now so you can get
  • 00:17:29
    the feel for what that sort of lay of
  • 00:17:31
    the land looks like and we're going to
  • 00:17:32
    come up here through Morrison through
  • 00:17:33
    golden and then this is actually going
  • 00:17:35
    to continue all the way up here to
  • 00:17:37
    Boulder when we mention Front Range this
  • 00:17:39
    is the area that we talk about okay when
  • 00:17:41
    we mention Foothills this is the area
  • 00:17:43
    that we talk about a lot of people their
  • 00:17:45
    ideal goal is to get as close to the
  • 00:17:47
    Front Range as possible with a Highlands
  • 00:17:50
    Ranch or a rockboro park or a Littleton
  • 00:17:53
    like Westside Littleton Westside
  • 00:17:56
    Lakewood golden for sure and then then
  • 00:17:59
    boulder up here in Lewisville their goal
  • 00:18:01
    is to get as close to the Foothills as
  • 00:18:04
    possible without necessarily being in
  • 00:18:06
    the mountains okay because this is where
  • 00:18:09
    things go 0 to 100 real quick I go 0 to
  • 00:18:13
    100 real quick so what do I mean by
  • 00:18:15
    going 0 to 100 well the weather changes
  • 00:18:18
    substantially Lifestyle Changes
  • 00:18:19
    substantially things just change quite a
  • 00:18:22
    bit when you go from just one side of
  • 00:18:24
    470 you know close to the Foothills so
  • 00:18:26
    now you're crossing over and you're
  • 00:18:27
    starting to get into evergreen or some
  • 00:18:29
    of these other like real mountain type
  • 00:18:31
    of areas because first of all man when
  • 00:18:33
    you're at higher elevation the weather
  • 00:18:35
    just changes okay you're going to get
  • 00:18:36
    more snow up there you're going to get
  • 00:18:38
    colder weather which means the snow is
  • 00:18:40
    going to stick around a lot longer on
  • 00:18:41
    top of that you start getting out of
  • 00:18:43
    those traditional neighborhoods where
  • 00:18:45
    you've got cities that plow the Main
  • 00:18:47
    Street you have your short driveway and
  • 00:18:48
    then you've got your home right there
  • 00:18:50
    two streets that sometimes the cities
  • 00:18:52
    don't even plow a lot of times the
  • 00:18:54
    neighbors have to plow those or they
  • 00:18:55
    come up to an agreement and hire some
  • 00:18:57
    third party to come and plow that
  • 00:18:59
    particular Road and then on top of that
  • 00:19:00
    you may have a really long driveway
  • 00:19:02
    leading up to your house where you will
  • 00:19:04
    definitely need four-wheeler or some
  • 00:19:05
    sort of plow situation just something
  • 00:19:07
    above and beyond your typical snowblower
  • 00:19:09
    that you may need up here so really guys
  • 00:19:11
    it is just something that a lot of
  • 00:19:12
    people love to live in the mountains I'm
  • 00:19:14
    not talking you out of it we help a lot
  • 00:19:16
    of clients move into the mountains it's
  • 00:19:18
    just know what you're getting into and
  • 00:19:20
    know that hey even just crossing into
  • 00:19:22
    the Foothills just a little bit even
  • 00:19:24
    right like Morrison's a great example
  • 00:19:26
    evergreen's a great example where you're
  • 00:19:28
    really not even even in the mountains
  • 00:19:29
    yet I mean you kind of are but not
  • 00:19:32
    really but man it it changes as soon as
  • 00:19:34
    you cross over there and and hit that
  • 00:19:36
    elevation that's where the lifestyle is
  • 00:19:38
    going to have to change a little bit so
  • 00:19:40
    just be aware so just to recap for you
  • 00:19:42
    guys if you are looking to move anywhere
  • 00:19:44
    within the Denver metro area you're
  • 00:19:46
    going to have a lot of options we've got
  • 00:19:47
    great school districts we've got great
  • 00:19:49
    cities we've got great City style homes
  • 00:19:52
    Urban Suburban style homes and then
  • 00:19:54
    we've got as much Suburbia as you can
  • 00:19:56
    handle in all of the outer line cities
  • 00:19:59
    surrounding the Denver metro area with
  • 00:20:01
    Denver being at the heart of everything
  • 00:20:02
    it is very accessible from the north to
  • 00:20:05
    the South to the east toest wherever you
  • 00:20:07
    decide to land getting to Denver easy to
  • 00:20:09
    do getting to dia Denver International
  • 00:20:11
    Airport very easy to do we got to be a
  • 00:20:13
    little more strategic about kind of
  • 00:20:15
    where we're picking but as long as
  • 00:20:17
    you're not on the far west side or
  • 00:20:18
    Southwest side it's going to be a fairly
  • 00:20:20
    quick trip to get over there another
  • 00:20:22
    great thing about um the way that our
  • 00:20:23
    city was built and developed our traffic
  • 00:20:25
    out here if you guys are coming from a
  • 00:20:27
    big traffic City Chicago California
  • 00:20:29
    potentially Texas as well you're going
  • 00:20:30
    to be pleasantly surprised and then also
  • 00:20:33
    to recap when people are moving here
  • 00:20:35
    especially from our channel right the
  • 00:20:37
    majority of them they are choosing to
  • 00:20:39
    hit the South Denver Metro side right
  • 00:20:41
    with the exception of Boulder up North
  • 00:20:43
    and then Denver itself the rest of them
  • 00:20:45
    tend to fall in Castle Rock and then
  • 00:20:47
    maybe some outliers down in Parker or
  • 00:20:50
    Highlands Ranch or Littleton and again
  • 00:20:52
    we've got really good school districts
  • 00:20:54
    down there and I think you know if
  • 00:20:55
    people are choosing to live on the South
  • 00:20:56
    Metro side it's just sprawling Suburban
  • 00:20:59
    neighborhoods which is a big draw for a
  • 00:21:01
    lot of people out here they love the
  • 00:21:02
    communities they love being involved in
  • 00:21:04
    more nature like Castle Rock how we we
  • 00:21:06
    you guys saw how the nature just comes
  • 00:21:08
    to you down there there's so much that
  • 00:21:09
    just draws people down there but the
  • 00:21:11
    most important thing guys is that
  • 00:21:12
    there's really nowhere in the Denver
  • 00:21:14
    metro area where it's like hey don't
  • 00:21:15
    move there there are so many good cities
  • 00:21:17
    there's so many good school districts
  • 00:21:18
    which honestly is one of the hard Parts
  • 00:21:20
    about people making a decision on where
  • 00:21:22
    they want to land which is exactly why
  • 00:21:24
    when you call that number that's down
  • 00:21:25
    below one of the first things we're
  • 00:21:26
    going to do is jump on a zoom call with
  • 00:21:28
    you we're going to jump on a map we're
  • 00:21:29
    going to find out what your wants and
  • 00:21:31
    needs are and we're going to help you
  • 00:21:32
    determine what the best areas are going
  • 00:21:34
    to be for you based on your specific
  • 00:21:37
    needs so I appreciate you guys watching
  • 00:21:39
