- I love talking about where to go, but sometimes, it's good to talk about where not to go. It's one of the questions I get most often in Denver real estate; what are the neighborhoods to avoid? These are the three areas where I wouldn't recommend buying a house right now.

Thank you for the Northglenn plug! If you think it’s not “cookie-cutter” suburb, you’ll fit right in.
Thanks for the insider tip! 😁🙌
Trying to sell Northglenn as a “non suburban feel” similar to East Colfax is realtor huckster talk at its finest 🤌🏼. Big box strip malls off I25 does not equal urban.
No no, it’s NOT similar to East Colfax, which is why I’m recommending it. 😄 It’s just prices that are similar.
I bought my small house in Arvada for $185K in 2003 and sold it for $550K in 2021. I then bought a big beautiful house in Northglenn for the $552K in Northglenn. That is the best decision I ever made. I love living in Northglenn. My new house is close to a lot of restaurants and there is a lot more to do in that area.
How do you feel about living in all that radioactive contamination?
@@davidschwartz870😂😂😅
@@davidschwartz870is it true? How?
@@RABPWarrior en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_contamination_from_the_Rocky_Flats_Plant
@@RABPWarrior Rocky Flats. Studies in the 90s actually proved a higher risk of cancer. Long story short. At Rocky Flatts they use to build plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs. There were many leaks that the administration of the plant either covered up or down played. It's a superfund site, and those in the surrounding areas are still highly worried about ground contaminants entering the water and being kicked up by the winds.
that's some top tier diplomacy!
Used to live in castle rock. Id say just about everything stated is pretty spit on. Biggest issue though is congestion in the area. The city wasnt built for the amount of traffic it gets these days and there hasnt been any attempt to resolve the issue outside of a fourth highway onramp and a change in the onramp on founders pkwy.
Haha. I live on the north side of COS and when you say halfway to NM, hi 🙋🏼♀️, that’s me 😂
It's actually not a bad drive without traffic! But I feel like "without traffic" is the tricky part.
The number of people that don't look at crime statistics before buying a house blows my mind...
Colorado just ranked the 3rd most dangerous state.... Oh yeah... Cause transplants brought all their problems with them... Go figure...
I love this!!!! “There are very fine people on both sides” who said that🤣
Suggesting Northglenn over East Colfax kind of makes sense, but then you're stuck with the same problem as Castle Rock. East Fax is growing because of proximity (but you described it spot on).
Fair!
U are awesome and looks more like a vlogger than real estate agent ✌️
This is one of the better compliments I’ve received, thank you,
Right on the money.
You have explained East Colfax very well. 😅
Thank you! It's a tightrope, that one.
Prices are over valued by 25%. But it's good to pencil in some locations for the future.
price is always reality
@@csxcobracsxcobra334 Colorado foreclosures up 595% from 2021-2022. Back in 2020, 70% of all homes in Colorado were mortgaged, the highest number by state in the country. Median household income was $75,000. It's 2023, homes are TWICE as much as they were back then and incomes certainly have not doubled. I'll see you at the auctions. How's that for reality?
Reality is we make 6 figures and can't buy even in an affordable area without house poverty. Our payment would double from our rent for the same house if we bought.
People in Castle Rock generally WANT to be 45 min away from Denver. Progressive policy pushing people out further and further.
The bests don’t buy house in Denver moving to other states Virginia North Carolina South Carolina the Appalachian some area is the best for living
Agreed!
Golden Never used to cost that much.
You are right on. Golden is way too expensive. It’s not that scenic nor is it oceanfront property. Way overvalued there. Boulder county is as well. Superior area new builds near Rocky flats ( won’t mention the builder) that are basically trailers are going for 700 plus. People have gone insane for that area as well.
Agreed. We’re seeing some of the Rocky Flats area homes sit for a lot longer now, because new inventory around there has shot up and prices are loony.
This is true modular home. 🏡
@@lovely31bluprint yes I was talking about the boulder neighborhoods wee cottage. Checked some out and couldn’t believe how cheap they felt. They still ran 700 and build quality was like a trailer. Unreal people are paying that
Just save your money and keep an eye on the foreclosure auction announcements.
@@DenverLivingwithSam Look up the history of Rocky Flats~nuclear/plutonium waste !! I would not ever live close to that place
All those prices are crazy!
It's a bit crazy how far everything has come.
When you live in Douglas county, there is absolutely no reason to ever for any reason go to Denver. We like being inaccessible, the crime stays away. Also Parker is the exact same amount of time to get to the metro area as CR is…
I am moving to 5 acres at Flanders and 5th and could not be more excited
I rented my house for 5 years in castle rock because I love this place, but buying a house has become impossible here, too expensive. What place do you recommend that is similar to Castle Rock to buy my house?
Italy. You can buy a house for 1 euro in Italy.
I am a fan of Parker, or if you're looking for lower prices and okay with being a little farther out, give Elizabeth a look.
Ugh definitely not buying in C. Rock. It's situated so freaking WEIRDLY
How so?
Avoid Northglenn and Thornton. Traffic, tons of immigrants, and high crime. Northglenn also has the highest tax rate in all of Colorado
Yep I was hearing that with property tax adjustments, a bunch of people where practically forced out of their homes. It's a shame what transplants have done to this state.
Property taxes cancel out any potential “good investment”
Roy! What ever do you mean?
@@DenverLivingwithSam when you are paying $500 property taxes and $500 HOA’s you not the one profiting.
@@roylappin4491 It's not just property taxes, it's all the taxes. Taxes for everything, and nothing gets done. We just ranked the 3rd most dangerous state. We where the bank robbery capital a few years ago. Denver isn't what it was because of all the transplants....
@@A_Bake5 while we agree that it is not just taxes, stop blaming transplants! This country is built on transplants from the old world! (Who displaced millions of people already here, AKA genocide).
Median home prices way better statistic to relate to than average home price. Average home price doesn’t mean anything.
I'm an actual statistician for a living. I concur.
Don't recommend Northglenn! There's already too much traffic here!
I have a civic duty!
I'm new to Denver ( zip code 80246 ) two months in a temporary apartment, and I'm mad because I can't decide a good place to move with two 6 year olds (Twins), because everything is very, very expensive. and I don't know the region, but the prices here are very high. I'm looking for lease for now.
Have you looked into southeast Aurora or Northglenn? Those are some of the more affordable areas that aren’t too bad.
@@DenverLivingwithSam LOL 😆
80246 used to be primarily a middle-income area, but prices have risen to ridiculously high levels over the past 10 years.
If you want to stay in Denver and pay less, you may want to look southwest past Broadway, closer to Englewood or Lakewood.
Whatever you do, don't move into Aurora - it's a suburban wasteland with the worst crime in the state.
@@DementedDistraction Yeah Aurora is a rough area. Robberies and shootings regularly, and the APD has had so many issues, that they are no longer effective as a police force.
Ok . First Castle Rock was never the " Denver area " . Second Morrison has 0 affordable housing . Zero. Third East Colfax is not a city , town or even an area . Parts of the Street of Colfax are in Aurora and some of it is in Denver. Curious if you are from here originally or a bit new to the Denver area ? Oy.
Andrea, thanks for watching! I just helped a client buy a single-family home in Morrison for well under $500k. East Colfax is certainly an area-it's an officially recognized Denver neighborhood, which you can verify on the city's website. Every data set I've seen includes Douglas County (and Castle Rock) as part of the Denver metro, but I suppose that one's up for debate! I've lived here for 13 years and know the area well. Oy!
If you found a house under 500 k in Morrison I would be shocked. Unless you are talking about a townhouse or condo. Even then I would be shocked . Couldn't find a home for under 600 k. East Colfax is not a city or town. Might be a " neighborhood, but not a town or city. And Castle Rock as far as I know was never part of the Denver area. I have lived here for 57 years. Peace out newbie 😌
I@@andreahicks967 Indeed! 3-BR SFR for $480k, PLUS seller concessions. Cool place on Tabor St, client was thrilled. And no need to leave the channel! I love helping people learn more about the Denver area. 😀
@@DenverLivingwithSam imo you do not " know the area "
Castle Rock is definitely part of the "Denver area." There are many, many people who commute to DTC and Centennial for work every day from Castle Rock.
My opinion is based on the *number* of people commuting from Castle Rock. Ten or twenty years ago it was much fewer, but now it is quite common.
500k is an entry-level price for a house!?
Yeah. Welcome to Colorado, where the transplants literally ruined all it's charm. In may we ranked 3rd most dangerous state.
East Colfax? Are you nuts? Take a ride on 15 bus line before you buy or rent.
Well, I was telling people not to live there. Are you saying I'm nuts for not suggesting people buy in East Colfax? That would be a conversation worth having.
Avoid investment properties in tenant friendly states. I only buy in red states. Gotta b kidding me with squatters rights smh
Did you just move here? Your perspective is strange.
I have been here for 13 years but agree that my perspective is typically strange.
@@DenverLivingwithSam Yeah cause you seek to make a profit it off it. Of course to a normal person with a conscious you seem strange. At least you can admit it.
Colorado house market it was shooting high like rocket 🚀 realtors and home owners refuse to lower their flying zone and they are in denial so as they shooting high like rocket the are shooting fast to landing to the base price 2018,2019,2020 if they are like but it everyone predicting 2008🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🤔🤔
Denver metro area real estate is doing just fine this year so far, especially all things considered.
Prices are up yoy.
@@AJourneyOfYourSoul Prices are up, and so is crime. Colorado just ranked 3rd most dangerous state, and the most of the population is centered in the metro area. So do the math.
@@A_Bake5 the crime situation is ridiculous, but the majority of CO voters keep voting in weak on crime politicians, so what do you expect.
Castle rock is ugly, high crime, poor community and schools.
Also so little there, not a lot to do and so boring
Park Hill is dangerous
No it isnt. You need to call out what avenue you're south of. 17th Ave isn't dangerous.
Here is my thoughts of your video you’re not from the Denver area but you arrived here along with others from other states with more people comes more demand I think of you as I think of Saddam seekers from Cuba or Valenzuela well we tell them don’t Arrived here and try to change as you left from …..something shitty,,, go back home and make it better… work on your own shit to make it Great…… peace ✌️
Saddam died in 2006.
It's funny how all you transplants came Colorado like colonizers and have done literally nothing to improve Colorado. You trashed our mountains, ruined our pristine trails, flooded mountain parks to the point you need to make reservations. You brought your crime with you as well. Seeing that Colorado just ranked 3rd most dangerous state. Which is no surprise, seeing that no one can afford to live here, and transplants aren't bringing better paying jobs to areas with limited economic development.
