Denver is the capital and the most populous city (567,000) in Colorado, with the larger Denver-Aurora-Boulder Combined Statistical Area having an estimated 2006 population of 2,927,911 ranking as the 17th most populous U.S. metropolitan area. The city claims to have the 10th largest central business district in the United States. From a thriving arts and culture scene, world class attractions and endless shopping possibilities, to nationally recognized chefs, exciting nightlife and abundant outdoor recreation, Denver is a welcoming, “mile high” experience. Whether you are moving for business or pleasure, get started finding the perfect house for rent or Denver apartment today.

Mile High Economy:

Denver's job growth has increased by an average of 2.2 percent ending 8/06. Because Denver is the largest city within 600 miles, it has become a natural location for storage and distribution of goods and services to the Mountain States. Denver is also approximately halfway between the large cities of the Midwest, like Chicago and Detroit and the cities of the West Coast, another benefit for distribution. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area has more federal workers than any other metropolitan area except for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Along with the plethora of federal agencies come many companies based on US defense and space projects. Energy and mining are still important in Denver's economy today, with companies such as EnCana, Halliburton, Newmont Mining, Noble Energy, and Anadarko. Denver's location on the 105th meridian at over 1 mile in elevation also enables it to be the largest city in the U.S. to offer a 'one-bounce' real-time satellite uplink to six continents in the same business day. Qwest Communications, EchoStar, Starz-Encore, and Comcast are just a few of the telecommunications companies with operations in the Denver area. Denver International Airport serves as the primary airport for the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan area. It is the tenth busiest airport in the world and ranks fifth in the United States, with 47,324,844 passengers passing through it in 2006. It covers more than 53 square miles, making it the largest airport in the United States by land area. Denver serves as a major hub for United Airlines and the headquarters for Frontier Airlines. Denver has sports teams in four major leagues. Just west of downtown is new, 76,000-seat Invesco Field at Mile High, home of the NFL's Denver Broncos and soccer's Colorado Rapids. The stadium also houses the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. In Denver's Lower Downtown, 50,000-seat Coors Field hosts baseball's Colorado Rockies. Just outside is the 18,000-seat Pepsi Center, where the NBA's Nuggets and the NHL's Avalanche play their home games.

Mile High Neighborhoods:

The City and County of Denver has defined 79 official neighborhoods. Well-known neighborhoods include the historic and trendy LoDo (short for "Lower Downtown"), part of the city's Union Station neighborhood; Capitol Hill, Highland, Washington Park; Uptown, part of the North Capitol Hill neighborhood; Curtis Park, part of the Five Points neighborhood; Alamo Placita, the northern part of the Speer neighborhood; Park Hill, a successful example of intentional racial integration; and Golden Triangle, in the Civic Center.

Mile High Education:

Denver is home to many institutions for higher learning including the following: University of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center, Johnson & Wales University, Regis University, Community College of Denver, Heritage College, National American University Yeshiva Toras Chaim Talmudical Seminary, Iliff School of Theology, Denver Seminary, The Art Institute of Colorado, Lincoln College of Technology FKA Denver Automotive and Diesel College, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, The College For Financial Planning and Colorado Technical University.

Mile High Culture and Activities:

The Mile High City has world class attractions, a thriving arts and cultural scene, exciting nightlife and top quality restaurants and great shopping. Denver is an energetic city that offers urban adventure and abundant outdoor activities. With numerous distinctive neighborhoods, including a vibrant downtown and historic district, Denver offers an array of exciting and unique experiences. Denver is home to many nationally recognized museums, including a new wing for the Denver Art Museum by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the second largest Performing arts center in the nation after Lincoln Center in New York City and bustling neighborhoods such as LoDo, filled with art galleries, restaurants, bars and clubs. That is part of the reason why Denver was recently recognized for the third year in a row as the best city for singles. Denver has a very active pop, jazz, jam, folk, and classical music scene, which has nurtured several artists and genres to regional, national, and even international attention. For recreation, the Colorado area more than makes up for what it lacks in ocean with its majestic mountains and world-class skiing. The Rockies make Denver a hiker's paradise, with dozens of challenging trails within a 30-mile radius of the city, and rafting trips to Clear Creek for 15 miles of white water rafting between Idaho Springs and Golden.

Mile High Living:

The median sales price for a single family home increased to $295,954 in May from $286,526 in April. For condominiums (Denver Lofts primarily), the median price decreased to $246,890, compared to $251,326 in April. There are a great deal of available rental properties, including single family houses, condos, townhomes, duplexes, fourplexes, suites, and apartments. Denver house rentals typically range from $1,100 to $1,500 a month while duplexes for rent typically range from $600 to $900 a month. Lofts are popular with younger renters and many can be found for very reasonable rental fees.
