Golden Overview
Golden is one of the most gorgeous places to live in Colorado. Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, this well-developed city is just outside of Denver. Although there is plenty to do and see within Golden, it surprisingly only has a population of around 20,000. Accordingly, you will experience a close-knit community with a thriving culture and rich history. Moreover, Golden is well-known for being an exceptional suburb for young professionals as there are plenty of job opportunities here and in Denver. That said, it is also ranked as a wonderful place for families thanks to the schools, parks, and overall safety.
Why live in Golden, CO?
If you prefer a suburban area, with all the comforts of a small town, Golden is an ideal place for you. It offers all the opportunities of a large city yet offers more safety and security than a major urban area. Additionally, given its proximity to Denver, you will never be far away from the excitement. When you are looking at apartments in Golden, you will immediately understand why so many people choose to live here. The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous, with stunning mountain views, pretty parks, outdoor gardens, and a multitude of biking and walking trails.
