Denver is a really good looking city

Whether covered in snow or basking in the summer sun, the hip mile-high city is always easy on the eye. With the regeneration of Union Station, Larimer Square - the creative soul of downtown Denver is ever-magical and now more than 205 parks within the city limits, Colorado’s capital has never looked better.

Moving to Denver might be so alluring due to the area's natural beauty. Or perhaps it's the 300 days of sunshine a year, the simple access to the mountains, and the natural outdoor recreation opportunities. In any case, Metro Denver has had some of the country's quickest urban growth, with about 100,000 residents migrating there in the previous seven years. With a population of over three million, the city is currently rushing to build the necessary housing, transit, and infrastructure to keep up with demand. The region is home to a thriving industry and a breath-taking new façade.

Denver is the ideal location for adventure seekers looking to explore thrilling mountain peaks and valleys. But you don’t have to be an adrenaline junkie or avid skier to enjoy outdoor life in Colorado. There are dozens of day trips suitable for the entire family all year round.
