Hi All,
My husband and I currently live in the Bay Area, and are considering relocating to the Boulder/Longmont area once our lease expires at the end of May. We are taking a research trip in mid-March. What are your recommendations for things we should see and do as prospective residents?
I definitely would like to check out Mustache HQ but can't seem to find info about visiting/tours, so if anyone can tell me how to set that up I'd appreciate it.
A little about us:
We are working toward FIRE with 1-4 years still to go [large range because it's difficult to tell when/whether the equity from my husband's company (a pre-IPO unicorn) will amount to anything].
I am 38 and he is 35 and we are happily childfree by choice.
We lived in the Midwest up until last May when we sold almost everything, including our home, to experience city living for a bit.
He is into: biking, electronics, HAM radio
I am into: reading, cooking/baking, quilting and other arty projects, theater
We are both into: craft cocktails, house DIY/renovations, language learning, music
The Boulder/Longmont area is under consideration because the COL isn't insane, we have some family nearby, it has good access to outdoor pursuits (especially biking), it has seasons, and a decent job market. The fact that there is already an established FI community in Longmont is a nice bonus.
Our plan would be to rent for at least a year while we get to know the area, and then buy a home if we decide to stay.
Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thank you!
