The Denver metro area is located on the front range of Colorado, near the Continental Divide of the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. Situated at 5,280 feet above sea level, Denver, the state capital, is often referred to as the Mile High City.
The Denver metro area is comprised of six counties - Boulder, Arapahoe, Adams, Jefferson, Denver and Douglas. The six-county area encompasses over 1,000 square miles and claims a population of over 2,000,000 people.
Majestic mountains reaching 14,000 feet above sea level grace the western skyline, offering spectacular sunsets and needed glacial waters.
Denver's geographic location allows for short commutes during the week as well as quick access to the various recreational locations nearby. You can spend Friday night in the city and still be in the beautiful Rocky Mountains on Saturday morning. Lakes and reservoirs are close by for water activities and an extensive trail system winds throughout the metro area accommodating those who enjoy biking, walking or jogging.
Denver's location lends itself well to travelers too, and our new Denver International Airport offers accessibility to destinations near and far.
Expansive scenic beauty partnered with an exciting economic environment, excellent educational opportunities and fun and adventurous recreation means the Colorado lifestyle has something positive to offer everyone.
