How does Buolder/Denver.compare to Houston in terms of housing costs?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

I cannot start to explain my pleasure! I simply got a job offer in Superior Colorado. However, Boulder County home costs are quite a bit larger than here in Houston. Even although I would be getting a elevate, it kinda looks like a demotion once I think about the cost of housing.

Does anyone know if I may be incorrect once I observe that Superior CO real estate common costs are round $300,000 for a 1700 sq. foot home? Call me loopy, however $a hundred and forty to $160 per sq. foot is simply loopy.compared to the hundred bucks or so that I can spend here in Texas. That’s a far cry from $80 to $one hundred twenty here in Houston for homes my size. Now I’m really beginning to wonder if my new job is attractive as I initially thought as a result of the elevated pay would not seem to be sufficient to cover the upper rent. Are groceries that much cheaper? What about transportation? Damn… Now I’m getting cold feet.

I looked at flights to Denver from Houston, however I really cannot afford a house-hunting trip to get a really feel for the area. Oddly sufficient, my new employer didn’t supply me a house hunting trip, so I’m presently restricted to my own reseasrch. I see that there is a nice mall, and loads of purchasing proper near Superior. I additionally see that it is about 20 minutes from Boulder or Denver. One different bonus is the truth that the mountains are inside a half hour, and ski areas only an hour or hour and a half, relying on what resort you go to. Is there the rest you can inform me about Superior that will assist me make a decision.
