The secret is out! Washington-based Pew Research Center has picked the Mile High City as the “number one big city to call home” in the country. Our great city, which was chosen from the 30 largest metropolitan areas in the United States, is in good company with San Diego and Seattle also ranking in the top three.
What makes Denver great place to live? Size. It is not too big, and not too small, so you never feel overwhelmed here. Denver truly has it all – a sophisticated night life, fine dining, a wonderful arts district, premier museums, shopping, and much more. For some stress relief, City Park, Washington Park, Sloan’s Lake, and the Botanic Gardens are only a few minutes from Downtown Denver. Our state-the art light rail system, which already provides transportation to most parts of the city, is on track for future expansion. Denver’s sports teams are an important part of life in Denver. We love our sports, especially the Denver Broncos (with a new coach!), the Colorado Rockies, the Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Avalanche.
If you need a getaway from hectic city life, the Rocky Mountain’s foothills are within a 30-minute drive from Denver. How about a little fly fishing in gorgeous Clear Creek Canyon, which is only 30 minutes away? Colorado’s world-class ski resorts are less than two hours away from Denver.
The median age of a Denver resident is 34, which makes it a young, family-oriented city. Young families present a need for top-notch schools, so the Denver metro area boasts some of the finest school systems in the country, which offer advanced programs for gifted children, along with premier programs for children with developmental challenges.
Denver is truly a wonderful city, and we are proud to call it home. If you have questions about living in Denver, or regarding the Denver real estate market, please contact TeamCox Realtors at 303-400-6060. We’ll do our best to not over-sell it!
