Housing in Colfax compared to Denver
Alright, I'm a teacher here and It's a a small town city with about 2,785 people. Poverty rate is 9.0%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $246,300, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Colfax sits at 105.0 per 100K. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up.
