Many people love the idea of living in the big city. For people all over the country, Denver is a very popular place to relocate to whether it is for a job or simply for the lifestlye. The metropolitan area population of roughly 2,857,700 people. This area is seeing rapid growth in jobs and is an excellent place to live when looking for a great career according to a profile from Forbes.
But when it comes to moving to Denver, many people end up looking in the suburbs rather than Denver proper for a variety of reasons. In this post we will highlight two Metro Denver cities—one to the south and one to the north—and why people might consider living there over Denver itself.
