In that case, I would definitely go for the Cherry Creek neighborhood. I lived there as a single and liked it very much. Its a nice neighborhood - very upscale in places - that contains many fine old homes, some bordering on mansion status. Just a few blocks from the really snazzy part, there's a well kept up neighborhood that has many young professionals. Its an eclectic, safe area with many interesting people, right in the heart of Denver. Ten years ago, I rented a beautiful old duplex there with lovely hardwood floors, 2 bedrooms and a small fenced back yard for about $650.00/month. I imagine that place would go for around $900 or a $1,000 now - haven't checked the rents up there in a while, but a glance through the Denver Post would give you an idea. There's some nice clubs that you can go hear great live music at close by and you're just a stone's throw from the Capitol and downtown area. Cherry Creek also features some wonderful huge city parks, as well as the Denver Botanic Gardens.
