East Denver — 7.4/10 Rating (based on 8 neighborhood reviews)
It is pretty quiet and quite diverse which I like and there are plenty of things to do in the area. The neighbors I have interacted with are friendly. There have been two or three incidents of the package room being broken into in mid-December but I believed they updated the lock because it hasn't happened since. It could come off as a little boring compared to neighborhood closer to the city/mountains, but it works well for me!

The complex is close to lots of grocery stores, target, fast food places, restaurants, and the highway, making it easy to get places. At night, some areas can be sketchy.

Legends Oaks is located on the border of Denver and Aurora, and the 2+ mile radius surrounding the complex is dedicated to apartment/condominium living. Families primarily live in the area, which makes the neighborhoods feel safe and friendly. Nearby traffic getting to inner-city Denver can be a terror, but you get used to it. Everything you'd ever need is less than a 5 min. drive away on Mississippi Ave. & Havana St., including restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, car shops, shopping centers, banks, etc. I can even walk to Target in ~8 minutes. I've adjusted well to this area of Denver/Aurora.
