Moving from Denver to St. Peters next month

Jaxon Lopez Aug 20, 2025

I've lived in Old Town for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events and festivals
- The healthcare scene is tough

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Nightlife is limited

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.

I've been here 2 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is hit or miss.

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

Good luck with whatever you decide..
