Replying to Best Denver neighborhoods to live in?

Moving to denver shortly...was hoping to move to walking distance of downtown. But curious what neighborhoods are good for someone looking to have fun and wants to meet people (don't know many at all)...looking to live with roomates if possible and spend $1100 a month. Willing to go higher but want to save some cash. Also have a car.


Was looking at downtown, cap hill, somewhere around cheeseman park

any other suggestions?
