In the last 20 years, Colorado has become one of the top places in America to live, rivaling New York and Los Angeles! The mountain air, outdoor activities, concert venues, and areas of wonder have all made the Mile High State a truly desirable place to call home. Here are 5 of the best reasons to move to Colorado.
#1 Colorado Sunshine
It’s been said that Colorado boasts 300 days of sunshine a year. 2015 saw an average of 255 days of solar pleasantry! That’s 21 days of hiking, bicycling, boating, and motorcycling a month! No matter what outdoor activity you love, Colorado weather will give you an extravagant amount of time to enjoy it!
#2 Colorado Skiing
Anyone who thinks of Colorado automatically thinks of ski resorts and for a good reason. Colorado boasts 25+ major snow covered Ski Areas; many of which stay open for longer than the national average. Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort (or A-Basin for those in the know) traditionally opens in mid-October and sports fresh powder through June! Keep an eye out for surfers turned boarders!
#3 Red Rocks Amphitheater
There’s very few A-list performers who have not graced this naturally formed auditorium. From newcomers like Youtube phenom Lindsey Sterling to the everlasting sounds of the Eagles, Red Rocks is one of the national “proving grounds” for any star and Colorado is its home.
Even if you don’t want to see a concert, Red Rocks is a popular exercise area with 380 steps on each outer staircase,138 steps for the inner staircases, and 69 rows of flat tier seating! When you get to the top, don’t forget to take a breather and enjoy the exquisite panoramic view that makes you feel as though you can witness the beauty of the entire state.
#4 Downtown Denver
Discover downtown Denver, The Mile High City. Enjoy Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park, the Downtown Aquarium, state of the art Sports Arenas, fantastic restaurants, and the Denver Nightlife.
If you prefer a quiet drive through history, lower Denver has whole communities of well-preserved historical homes. You’ll feel as though you are taking a trip through history as you travel down lanes of Victorian-style homes. The lush gardens and luxurious landscapes bring to mind simpler times. Be sure to bring a camera with you.
#5 Colorado Housing Market
One of the top selling areas in the country in 2015, Colorado saw an amazing year with many cities recording triple digit numbers of new listings each month! No matter what you are looking for in a home, Colorado can probably provide it for you. Secluded mountain homes in Vail, high population metro areas of Denver and Colorado Springs, or something in between like Durango or Fort Collins, Colorado has it. Whether your preference is for a pastoral prairie ranch house or a newly built residential, just about every home in the state is a “must-see” place.
Colorado has something for everyone to enjoy. Open-air recreation abounds everywhere and is usually right outside your front door. Whatever your hobby is, you’ll find a place to enjoy it here in the Centennial State. Hurry up and get packing! We’re waiting for you!
