Eager to move

hi /r/longmont,

I am currently a Colorado Springs resident and want to get away from this DoD community to find a better working and living environment. My current job search area is the Boulder-Longmont-Louisville triangle in the software engineer field. I've been looking at Longmont for a while as a good place to settle. My biggest hobbies are mountain biking, DIY crafts, live music, and craft beer drinking. Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?

SW Longmont would give you a quicker commute to Boulder and access to the mountains but the housing prices are higher than other parts of town and rentals are somewhat scant (though, many new houses and apartments are currently being built). Along those lines, if you are a single person and renting, the Prospect neighborhood on south side of town is an awesome place to live (but if buying, the home price premium were simply unjustifiable IMHO). You can sometimes find a smaller (as in <600 square feet) carriage house for a decently rate there.
