Regional Overview, from 5
of local public golf courses make
for a good challenge — or a good
place to entertain a business client.
Recreation centers and leagues
provide opportunities to play
tennis, soccer, lacrosse, softball,
volleyball and even adult kickball.
Running and bicycling are hugely
popular, from weekend outings to
world-class competitions.
With all those outdoor activities within easy reach, the region
consistently boasts one of the
nation’s healthiest and fittest
populations, one supported by
major hospitals, numerous medical centers and some of the world’s
top doctors, who move here for
the lifestyle.
Many local restaurants capitalize on homegrown and organic
foods to create fresh and creative
meals. Several are led by awardwinning, nationally known chefs.
Meals often can be enjoyed outdoors, accompanied by beautiful
mountain views.
With that meal, or after a
long day’s work, you can always
sit down and relax with a locally
brewed beer. Colorado is known
for its quality beer, and the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado
contribute to the tradition with
original brewpubs and microbreweries. Wineries, cideries and
distillers of harder liquors also
are making their mark. The entire
industry has become a tourist attraction in itself.
The area provides a wide range
of living options, including remote
homes in the hills, single-family
neighborhoods in the suburbs,
senior-housing communities,
mixed-use urban lofts in the cities
and sprawling mansions. People
love to live here and that translates
to a positive attitude at work. The
area provides a quality of life similar to that of the West Coast, but at
half the cost.
The mountains are in your
backyard, but the big city is a short
drive away.
Whether you’re a newcomer or
a native, there’s always something
new — and something old and
familiar — to explore. And opportunity is as radiant as our sunsets.
