City of Denver Colorado

Fall Colors in Colorado

Once asked to describe Colorado, Teddy Roosevelt said, "The scenery bankrupts the English language." This is certainly descriptive of buying Denver homes and living the Front Range region and Denver, the Queen City of the Plains.

Denver's real estate market is a diverse as its attractions, culture and topography.  There are homes built in the 1800s in lovely, victorian neighborhoods such as the Baker Historic District, craftsman-style bungalows in the Highlands and Park Hill areas, multi-million dollar homes in the Denver Country Club and Cherry Creek neighborhoods, condos and lofts in LoDo with fabulous views of the mountain and city, plus everything else in between.  Your dream home is in Denver!

Denver is a young city by eastern standards.  It achieved statehood the same year Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone and the first pennant race in the baseball’s National League.

It may be young, but is it exciting.  It is full of energy and life.  In the past 20 years, the city built Denver International Airport, a new baseball stadium, and a new central library.  Denver also added a stunning addition to its art museum, re-developed lower downtown which is the oldest section of Denver (LoDo) into a thriving community and it has a new light rail system.

Denver

World leaders convene in Denver for conferences like the Summit of the Eight in 1997.  Pope John Paul II came here in 1993 for the World Youth Conference and Denver is the host for the 2008 Democratic Convention.

However, Denver is still a cow town.  Ranchers and cattlemen converge on Denver every January for the National Western Stock Show to compete in rodeos, buy and sell stock and exhibit their products.  Men in 3-piece suits walk side by side with those in cowboy boots and hats.

Denver Home

Denver's foresight in the late 1800s and early 1900s created a fantastic system of parks and recreational areas.  Not only did they set aside land for the city residents, but also mountain property for residents use in summer and winter.  City Park which also houses the Museum of Nature and Science as well as the Zoo, the Denver Botanic Gardens, Washington Park and Congress Park just to name a few, attract thousands of visitors each year.  Mountain parks include Winter Park (skiing), Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre (wonderful concerts), Lookout Mountain (Buffalo Bill is buried here), Daniels Park to the south and Bergen Park in the Evergreen area.
