Living, playing and eating in Northwest Denver...
A new study by Move Inc. came out today showing the top ten cities where buying a home is still a good idea. Denver came in fifth! Hopefully this news keeps buyer’s shopping and seller’s selling.
See the whole list here.
As always call me if you are thinking about buying or selling.

Neighborhood Cleanup Day is this Saturday (5/21) North High School parking lot @ 9:00 a.m. . Come lend a hand to help beautify School!
As an added bonus North High School will be accepting your debris including mattresses. They also will be accepting used clothing and household items for Goodwill. Great time to clean out that garage we have all been putting off.
Tennyson Street Coffehouse does a great event each year and for those people out there who still read real books it is a great way to recycle, trade or earn an extra buck!
So head over Saturday April 2nd for a cup of joe and possibly a new read!
Learn more about the coffeehouse and the event here!
A friend of mine Zoe Wood recently started a new company here in Denver. I think it is so perfect for so many of us who live close in to the city with small yards or rooftop decks. The company is called Colorado Backyard Farms. They can help you on all levels of planning your garden. They will build you raised beds. They can also then plan them and maintain them to any level that you want. Helping you grow fresh organic produce in your own yard!
Here is Zoe hard at work making a small space grow big flavors!
They really encourage all levels of involvement and lets be honest starting and maintaining a garden can be a ton of work! I know many people who would be fine maintaining if someone could just help them get started. What a cool concept!
Learn more about Zoe and check out pictures of her beautiful gardens and produce on her website:
Colorado Backyard Farms
Good luck Zoe! I hope to see more of your organic gardens pop up all over my neighborhood and all neighborhoods in Denver! I can’t wait to see them in the smallest strangest places!

Selling Real Estate and a Lifestyle!
Facebook is really where I get most of my event info. The more stuff that is on Facebook the happier I am that I can have one destination to find out about what’s going on in Denver, at venues, with my friends or in my neighborhood. I know, I know, we all spend too much time on Facebook but it really is convenient! So if you want an easy way to find out about neighborhood meetings or events “like” your neighborhood association on Facebook.
You can find Highland United Neighbors Inc (HUNI) here.
or West Highland Neighborhood Association (WHNA) here.
or Sunnyside United Neighbors Inc (SUNI) here.
or Berkeley United Neighbors (BRUN) here.
Really it is a great way to get info and get connected with your neighborhood association! I liked them all!

The other day someone said to me LoHi must be a great place to live if you are single and dating! I thought to myself no not really. I think it is a great place to be single. I know on any given night I can go out to one of my local haunts and find someone I know from the neighborhood. I can grab a cup of coffee with David or Glenn who own Gallop Cafe and even play poker there on Thursday’s with neighborhood friends. I can wander down to Paris on the Platte and run into a friend a I have known since childhood. Or belly up to the bar at Forest Room and see a familiar bartender from my show going years. But dating in Highlands? Its rough because you know people every where you go! And if it doesn’t work out you have to see them every place you go!
Sure we have some of the most romantic restaurants to snuggle up in. From Z-Cuisine’s fabulous intimate french bistro feel to the charming Squeaky Bean with it’s seasonal local menu to the hip Root Down with its hopping bar and easy to share plates of yum. The variety of food and atmospheres is endless and wonderful. But consequently us highlander’s don’t leave our hood. So for now I am going to stick with dating people from Uptown, Baker or Capitol Hill.
Hope that those of you with a Valentine in the neighborhood have a romantic night! I will probably be hanging with incredible friends being happy as a single! I love LOveHi!

Red hot – hot dogs! Red Trolley apparently added a hot dog bar to their menu! All natural and nitrate free. I love my neighborhood. So conscious and healthy even when it comes to their hot dog choices.

Well according to forbes at least.
“Denver is America’s best city to buy a home, Forbes magazine says in a new ranking of U.S. metro areas.
““Denver scores very well in terms of being able to bring people into a stable housing market,” the magazine quoted Moody’s economist Christopher Cornell as saying. “It has better growth potential than most cities today.”
How exciting Denver! http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2009/06/22/daily46.html
So come on buyers lets get to work! Buy a home in the number one city!
