Denver Colorado rated most desirable place to live

The city of Denver, known for its skiing, culture and bustling singles scene, is where Americans would like to live the most, according to a recent survey conducted by Washington, D.C. based group Pew Research Center.  This doesn't come as any great suprise to those of us who already call Denver home.  Sunshine, dry air, reasonable housing prices, and a decent economy (relative to the rest of the US right now anyway) make Denver, Colorado a good place to raise a family, be outdoors and enjoy life.

The real estate sales activity in homes priced below $250,000 is very strong right now.  Our market has already bottomed out about six months ago, and with the likely passage of the stimulus act from Congress and the President, plus declining mortgage rates means that our residential housing market will likely stay strong.

When people nationwide talk about Denver, they usually mean the entire metro area, not just the city of Denver itself.  Our metro area includes the front range from Boulder to Castle Rock.  There are a lot of neighborhoods and cities in between the two as well.  For right now, I'm just pleased that the State and city are getting the recognition of being a great place to live and work.
