Mile High City
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
Since we’re based in Fort Collins, CO we know a thing or two about our neighbor city that is just down I-25 from us. If you’re moving to Denver, or are considering moving to Denver, here are a few things to help and a few things to do while you’re there.
Planted at the base of the Rocky Mountains, one mile high in the Colorado sky, Denver’s access to the good life can’t be denied. According to The Denver Office of Economic Development (OED), Metro Denver has a population of 2.7 million people, with a growth rate that has consistently outpaced the national rate every decade since the 1930s.
You’ll find that Denver is growing, and is also a very active city. With the mountains, hiking trails, bike trails, rivers, lakes and sports arenas so close, it’s almost impossible not to get physical! And, with over 300 days of sunshine, it’s hard to sit inside and let a beautiful Denver day go to waste. Be ready to be outside!
Downtown Denver has a lot of amazing restaurants, night clubs and retail stores. With the mountains about 45 minutes away, you’ll find that you have a lot of options of things to do. It’s hard to get bored in this city. And, Fort Collins is about 40 miles north of the city, so make sure you come up and check out what we have to offer. Voted Best Place to Live by Money Magazine, you can’t go wrong in Fort Collins, CO.
If you need help with your move to Denver, please contact us we’d be more than happy to help.
