More and More Reasons to Move to Denver, CO!

As a long-time Denver, CO resident, watching this video brought back some of the great reasons why I love living in this area…

Seriously…who would NOT want to at least visit Denver after watching that?! The scenery, the weather, the culture, the history…all combine to make this a wonderful area in which to live. The video repeats the statistic that Denver has over 300 days of sunshine each year, and once you live here…you realize that this is no exaggeration. Kids who are raised here, and people who have moved from other areas end up LOVING rain days…just because they are so rare. Add a little thunder and lightning, and we are happy, happy, happy!

Add our AWESOME professional sports teams to the mix – Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Denver Outlaws, Colorado Mammoth, Colorado Rapids – and it’s the icing on the cake.

What’s your favorite thing about living in or visiting Denver?

Denver Relocation Info: Denver Ranked 8th for Young Professionals

A recent Forbes magazine study, America’s Best Cities For Young Professionals, looked at population, unemployment, average salaries and cost of living to come up with a list of cities where ‘ambitious college grads’ have the best chance at succeeding.  The Mile High City came out great:

Denver ranks No. 8 on this year’s Forbes list of the best large cities where a recent college graduate can get a strong start on a high-powered career. The magazine and website rate Denver highest for having a relatively low unemployment rate and for higher-than-average income. It ranks lowest for its lack of large locally based companies.

Houston, Washington D.C. and Minneapolis took the top three spots…..however, we think that the quality of life in Colorado is so much better that we should really be #1.
