Tips for Renting in Castle Rock, CO

When thinking about moving to Castle Rock, there are a few things to consider, especially if you’re moving from out of state. With an elevation of 6,224 feet, it can take some time to acclimatize to the higher altitude. Take it easy when exercising at first, try cutting back by around half, and drink twice as much water. When it comes to alcohol, it’ll hit you harder than at sea level, so keep that in mind when you hit the town.

Commute times from Castle Rock to anywhere further north than the Denver Tech Center can be strenuous and will often take in excess of an hour. The same is true if you plan to commute to Colorado Springs, as the freeway narrows south of Castle Rock. Winter commute times can be extended further when it snows. It’s also worth taking a winter weather driving refresher course if you’re not used to snow and ice.
