Whether you’re coming from a small Midwestern town or the Big Apple, moving to Denver might just be the best decision you’ve ever made. We may be a little biased, but the truth is—Denver is one of the best cities in America, with a diverse culture and endless opportunities for fun, connection, and community. Still need convincing? Let’s break it down.
1. People Come Here to Love Their Lives
You might be surprised by how many people you’ll meet who came for a visit and never left. Denver is a city people fall in love with—so much so that they leave everything behind to stay. Very few residents are here because their job brought them. Instead, they saw the opportunity, nature, and vibrant lifestyle Denver offers and decided it was exactly what they wanted.
2. There’s Something Here for Everyone
From punk rock dive bars to Shakespeare in the park—and even 420-friendly, Taylor Swift-themed paint-and-sip events—no matter your scene, there’s a space for you. Denver is a place where you’re free to be yourself. Green hair, tattoos, and socks with sandals? All welcome here.
3. You Will Never Be Bored
If New York is the city that never sleeps, Denver is the city that never rests. On any given day, there’s an event, pop-up, or concert to experience. Struggling to make friends? There are dozens of clubs and groups designed to help you connect. Want to join a rec volleyball league or another team sport? Denver has several organizations that offer just that. You could live here your whole life and still not see it all.
4. Friendly Neighbors
You know what happens when you fill a city with people who moved there to love their lives? You get happy people. When you take a stroll in a Denver neighborhood or visit the corner mart, you’ll notice the people you come across are bright, cheerful, and easy to talk to. Truly, all you need to do to strike up a conversation and potentially make a life-long friend is ask someone, “So, you headin’ to the mountains this weekend?”
5. Access to The Mountains
One of the best parts of living in Denver is the balance between city life and mountain adventures. The same mountains others fly thousands of miles to see are just a short drive—or train ride—away. No 4-wheel drive? No problem! Hop on the train at Union Station and head straight to Winter Park Resort.
6. All Four Seasons
Whether you love snow and skiing, football games and fall foliage, summer swims and warm nights, or spring flowers and rainy days, Denver has it all. Sometimes all in the same day! Winter transforms the city into a picturesque wonderland with fluffy white snow that quickly melts under the Colorado sun (no brown sludge here!).
7. 300 Days of Sun
Say goodbye to gloomy days and seasonal blues. Living in the Mile High City means enjoying around 300 days of sunshine each year. That much vitamin D does wonders for your mood, health, and overall quality of life.
8. Being Active Becomes Second Nature
Ready to get in the best shape of your life? Life in Denver is naturally active. Get ready to replace weeknight doom scrolling with run club, rec sports leagues, paddle boarding, hikes, biking, and a myriad of other outdoor activities.

We are so lucky to have one of the world’s most iconic music venues right in our backyard. Musicians and fans travel from all over to experience the magic and majesty of this natural amphitheater.
