Possible job move - aurora co area

[bradbn4]

I am looking at tossing my hat in for a job in Aurora Colorado area while keeping my current home in Colorado Springs.

Right now I figure I would to the "safe" thing and rent something in a normal commute area before doing anything more serious.

Other than a lazy-boy chair, cheap tv, computer with internet access is what I am looking at, ok maybe toss in a normal size bed. Thinking that living off I-70 in the boondocks might work for me. No kids, no pets, and the other is living in Texas...I wish I could join her there, but things happen in life.

And no, not even thinking of living in Denver, and rather not live in Aurora unless it is the "right" thing to do.

Have to go pretty far out to find anything that is affordable. Aurora is a pretty big and diverse place.. where about would you be working?

If you look east of Aurora you’ll find some more rural and conservative options that are much cheaper... the commute would be easy peasy too even if you opted to go out as far as Byers. Go check out Strasburg.

nope this is not a want ad; but more like am I an idiot thinking about this

The area is by the Raytheon complex. . . and out east is what I was thinking...even a trailer park would almost work for me.
I guess I always wanted to be one of those trailer folks I saw in the last Star Fighter.

Like others have said, Aurora is a big place, so don't discount the entire town before you even get there.

If it's a good fit, not stupid at all. I've never lived in Colorado Springs, but a lot of it reminds me of Aurora when I go down there. Looking at a map, you could live pretty much anywhere in the entire Denver metro area and it'd be a closer commute than from the Springs. As far as drive-wise goes, somewhere East of 470 would be ideal, as you've already noted.

I live about 10 miles north of Bennett. At 6am, it takes me about 40 minutes to get to South Aurora, and another 10 to get into DTC (Arapahoe and I25ish). Bennett has a King Soopers, a couple auto parts stores, fast food, a couple pizza places, and a small town cafe, in addition to the Liquor store that takes FFL transfers.

There is a trailer park in town, with places to rent.

Yep. Is the trailer park still for sale? Plus, if you live in Bennett, you can wave to all your friends on their way to, and from CRC every weekend.

Dont think the whole thing is for sale. They did just move in like 4 new trailers, but parked them about 15 feet apart. Immediately put up "for rent" signs.

Oh, and they just put a shitload of fiber in the ground. I will have fiber to the home this spring. The trailer park will probably be HFC.
