Quick question about Englewood

Valentina Oct 2, 2025

I've lived in Old Town for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- The community vibe scene is solid

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 12 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.
