I would probably agree with this.

I drop my kids off at main/jordan in Parker at 8:30 and typically get to work by 5-10 after 9. Office is I70/pecos, so just north of downtown.
On a bad day, it's 45 min. Rarely been longer than that.
30 min from east HR to tech center? Isn't that like 5-7 miles?The Pilot said:I don't think any of the common southern suburbs (HR, LT, Parker) would work for this. I live in east Highlands Ranch and the commute to the Tech Center is about 30 min, not making it to downtown in less than 45 min.mwc0746 said:
Yes Downtown 3 days a week. Wife would work in Littleton.
Probably ok with 30-45 minute commute.
Maybe Lakewood would be a good middle ground. The northern parts of Littleton might take you to downtown in less than 45?

I'm in Lone Tree and before our office moved to DTC and I was commuting downtown it was anywhere from 45 min to an hour 20 to get home at 5PM. Never dealt with morning rush hour but I would guess it to be the same.

I guess specific location can make a difference.
I can be on I70/25 from my office door in about 2-3 minutes as I'm right at the roundabout on pecos/70; whereas if you're downtown, you're maybe in a parking garage, stuck at a few lights so it's 10 min or more just to get to 25.
Then when I exit ridgegate, it's a nascar track along empty fields until you hit chambers, and that's where I live. If I were in canterberry in east parker, it would add another 10 easily if not more.
1:20 from downtown to lone tree assuming no really bad wreck or storm, that seems like quite an outlier.

Yeah was just giving the best and worst of the commute. We were deep downtown at republic, parked in the garage at the Sheraton so would easily take 10-15 to get to 25. Then those days if there was a fender bender even on 25 it was over an hour easy. 35 min in the morning before most people were awake though!

I'm 12 miles from the office so about double your estimate. It's 10 miles if I go Quebec all the way but that would add time.62strat said:30 min from east HR to tech center?

What would you say are the most important things that you're looking for? Good schools, walkability, proximity to mountains, etc.?

I'll go halfsies on a bag if you invite us over to eat with you haha. That is if you can actually find some. You might try talking to NoNos restaurant in highlands ranch. I know they fly in live crawfish on Saturdays. Maybe they can order an extra bag to throw on the plane for you. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny up here though….

had a lot out hail out in Littleton tonight. Usually a weather app gives me a heads up but this one went from nothing to 10 minutes of hail in a snap. Luckily it was all pretty small. After a while there were some cars not able to get up the hill on our street, that was fun to watch.

Man, how about that Avs series? Georgie was catching a lot of hell at the end of the season and first game of this series. Nice to see him turn it around. And an explosion of offense.

A guy named Carroll? How do we know if that's care-ul or car-ul?
seeing as it's a boy, maybe it is Car-ul?

Not a good day for trash day. The neighborhood is filled with trash bins toppled over from the damn wind.

Anyone going to any Red Rocks shows this season? Lost of great artists and prices are now quite normal. Just grabbed a pair for my fiancee and I to see Whiskey Myers, Black Pistol Fire and Jason Boland in GA. She's grabbing a pair for us to see Flatland Cavalry and Randy Rogers Band, both of which I've seen at the Grizzly Rose, but a more chill concert at Red Rocks will be perfect.
