Along with spectacular, pristine views of the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains, west Denver offers excellent schools, quiet residential communities, and a thriving job market. Exciting recreational opportunities are close by, from world-class skiing to hiking to fishing. Miles of trails and acres of parks provide west Denver residents with a multitude of ways to enjoy the city’s spectacular natural surroundings. Washington Park offers opportunities for boating on Smith Lake, while runners, bikers and rollerbladers enjoy the trails that wind throughout the city.
West Denver is also close to all the excitement and fun of the city’s revitalized downtown district. Sports fans can enjoy Colorado Rockies baseball at Coors Field, Denver Broncos football at Invesco Stadium at Mile High, or a Colorado Avalanche hockey game at the Pepsi Center. Also found in the lower downtown area (or “LoDo”) is the 16th Street pedestrian mall, which offers unique shopping and dining experiences. Visitors can enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride at Larimer Square, take in a Broadway show at the world-class Denver Center for the Performing Arts, or shop at the upscale mall in nearby Cherry Creek. Exciting community events take place year-round, from the annual Stock Show and Rodeo to the People’s Fair and the Taste of Colorado at Civic Center Park. |
