If you are considering moving to the Denver metro area and renting first,  there are a few things to know.  First, the apartment rental market is hot.  New communities are being built that offer something for everyone.  If the urban lifestyle is what you are looking for, the revitalized RiNo area or the trendy high rises downtown are for you.  If you are looking to settle into a suburban lifestyle, Parker, Aurora and Littleton may be a good fit.  Regardless of where you choose to live, Colorado will not disappoint.  With more sunshine days than San Diego, your new outdoor lifestyle awaits.  Second, you will need to know the 10 most expensive neighborhoods to rent in Denver.

It’s no surprise that the City of Boulder tops the list.  Boulder is home to the University of Colorado (SKO-BUFFS).   Named as the happiest place to live, Boulder offers unique restaurants, trendy boutiques, abundant all year around outdoor activities and a vibrant lifestyle.  Just 45 minutes from Denver (may be a little longer with traffic) along Highway 36, Boulder is home to Ball Aerospace,  Celestial Seasonings and several tech and advertising based companies.
