What's a realistic (pessimist) timeframe for colonization of the inner Solar System?

Technological and scientific progression is thriving, but we still haven't developed FTL travel, research has its focus on developing a device similar to a dyson sphere.

So, travelling from planet to planet is a safe journey, but it's still a long one.

Artificial intelligence is very developed, and robots almost have unique personalities, but humans still have a work life and most work related machines are relatively archaic.

The Moon is colonized, and so is Mars, and Venus has a number of floating colonies in its atmosphere. Mining colonies exist in the moons of Mars, and many more in several asteroids.

Colonizing the outer Solar System is still a challenge; resources and distance are the two important factors to overcome.

I'm interested in hearing what you think: what is a "realistic" year for this to take place?
