Founded in 1858, The Mile High City’s diverse culture and housing offer a unique opportunity for those relocating to Denver. Neighborhoods range from small and self-contained, to large and expansive with vast acres of open space to be enjoyed by all. 500,000 people live in the City of Denver, with more than a million residing within the boundaries of the Denver Metropolitan area.

 

Like an eastern city, Denver offers cultural activities ranging from opera to theatre to art. Like a western city, it offers outdoor activities that rival those of California, Oregon, and Washington State. Within an easy drive of Denver proper are dozens of summer and winter resorts, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and the Continental Divide. There is no lack of things to do in this progressive, technically-advanced city!

 

 

Denver’s major industries include communications, utilities, and transportation, but many other industries also exist in Denver. Unemployment rates are low and commerce is good; it is a city on the curve of growth. In addition to excellent employment opportunities, Denver also has excellent schools from grammar school all the way to higher education.

 

Housing in Denver ranges from the smallest of single family homes to the largest of modern condominiums, with everything in between. Denver is perfect for young families, older families, single people, retired people, empty nesters, and just about every other type of people on the planet. With dry, mostly temperate weather and lots of sunshine, it is not hard to fall in love when seeing Denver for the first time. And with a cost of living comparable to other large Midwestern cities, what’s not to love about living here?
