An OTBKB reader who moved to Denver in 2006 had this to say about the Park Slope Parents query: "Is there a Park Slope in Denver?" Someone should think about opening up a branch. Just kidding.
Being a native of San Francisco, moving to NYC, eventually over to Brooklyn (Windsor Terrace) and now landing in Denver – I am happy to report that there is not a Park Slope in Denver proper.
If you want to consider Highlands Ranch, Denver – then there you have it…voila, Park Slope centrally located in the Rocky Mountains. But as for Denver,
it’s a smaller version of SF, without the Bay. Crawling with local
artists, a small downtown and a million of untouched opportunities for
the creative minds. (Not at all what a "city girl" expected).Personally, I have nothing against PS or the strollers,
nannies, etc. I was a part of that for 6 years, but decided to move
out of NY
to be closer to family and for a slower, cheaper quality of life. Park
Slope was becoming untouchable when I left (Sept 06) – I can only
imagine that prices are still sky rocketing all over. Denver isn’t as cheap as one would think – but it’s much more affordable than NY or California….and the view isn’t so bad either.
