[quote=UCGal]My brother lived for 20 years in that part of the world. In Denver, Boulder, Arvada, and Ft. Collins. I spent a good part of the fall/winter of 2007 shuttling back and forth to Denver and Ft. Collins when my brother was sick.

Good things:
– It’s gorgeous! Undeniably, take your breathe away gorgeous. The mountains are spectacular.

– It’s less expensive. A lot less expensive. My brother owned 3 houses in 20 years – all were about 1/3 of what you’d pay in San Diego.

Have you seen the prices in Boulder lately? Out of this world!

Take a look at Zillow and zoom in on any part of Boulder…prices put San Diego to shame – Boulder is super expensive…especially in the western part it appears.
