Good place. Very suburbany (similar to the Springs). The houses are very small and old and yet still very expensive (albeit cheaper than southern Denver). Actually lots of good jobs, the median income reflects this. N line of RTD runs through if that matters.

It has a very working class vibe. Lots of normal people, close in proximity to downtown, and also close to more rural areas and parks. Downsides? Congestion as expected of the front range, schools are kind of interwoven with the strip malls which is odd. The area is still very expensive despite being a bit more faded and worn. There are also neighborhoods with throughways splitting them, with speed bumps. Doesn't feel like the best planned city but it's still very nice.
