My lease at my current apartment is up in February. Right now, I'm in Littleton(Broadway/Mineral). I got this place when I was working at my former employer. I have since quit my job, and am going to school full time at Metro State. So as it stands, I ride 2 miles to the lightrail, and take that downtown. But I have another 3ish years of school before I'll be done, so I'm thinking of moving someplace closer, and I'm looking for suggestions please.

All I need is a place for me, and my dog. Preferably someplace I can easily bike alot of places, but I also have the RTD pass since I am a Metro student. I do need some kind of parking, as I'm not entirely giving up my car yet, but I want to minimize it's use(mostly to just snowboarding trips in the winter :) ). Any suggestions on apartment buildings to check out? Almost forgot, I'd like to keep it fairly inexpensive. I'm paying ~$1,100 now. I'd like to get that down a few hundred at least.

Try "highlands" AKA "north Denver" (basically, W of I 25 ) and downtown, nice easy ride to downtown. We have a rental house in that area we rent for $1175 so you should be able to find some thing similar. (don't rent to "Dog folks"(hardwood floors)Bud

I completely understand that. So many people have untrained dogs, and let them destroy things. And thanks for the tip.

I enjoyed living in south capitol hill. At 6th and Downing. We had plenty of space for two people and a cat. Had a parking spot and it was real easy to bike places. Stick to the neighborhoods surrounding downtown and you'll be in a great location.
