If all goes right, I'll be working in Commerce City.
Daily commute can be 45+ minutes if necessary.
We will rent for awhile to get the "lay of the land", but where?
Taxes and such? I understand there is some sort of personal property tax involving renewing your auto registration each year? $$$

Not looking into city living, I want the earth at my feet.

Any help? Thanks...

born and raised in Denver, where we get 300 days of sunshine a year....great place...although commerce city can be questionable, although they do have some nicer newer areas....

there is a personal property tax involved in getting your car registered here.

if you want rural and easier commute to com city, look at brighton or thereabouts....pm me with any additional questions.

we have a great group of herfers here...

Doug is spot on... I live within 10 minutes of Commerce City and I would highly suggest steering clear of living there... there are some nicer areas out north of the city, but still too far away from the good stuff IMO. I have lived in CO for my entire life as well and know my way around pretty well... although I will admit not knowing southern Denver as well as I would like.

Once again he hits the nail square... Brighton is nice and is close to Commerce City, so is Thornton (where I live). There is a lot of newer development all around the northern parts of Denver and many places in different prices ranges to choose from. If you need any help or suggestions please feel free to PM me and I will do my best to make you feel welcome in our lovely state!

Oh and the herfers here enjoy herfing to the fullest extent... we have quite a few guys scattered all around and have herfs quite often (I would say average is 3 times a month you will find a good herf)!
