Okay, put me on the spot. It happens to me all the time. People moving to Denver have no idea what the best Denver suburbs really are. So they asked me. First, I explain that it's totally subjective what is best. But if I'm really pushed, these are the suburbs that I'll list as being among Denver's best suburbs.
What do I consider best? the factors that go in to the best suburbs have to include good schools, easy access to good shopping, good transportation quarter horse, low crime, neat and clean communities and a sense of community pride. Denver is really fortunate to have so many great suburbs. Here are just a few:
Arvada – Eclectic mix of blue collar to luxury homes between Denver and Boulder
