City - Denver

"Denver is Colorado's state capital and the economic heartbeat of the entire Rocky Mountain region. With a population topping 715,000 across 155 square miles, the city carries the energy of a major metro while holding onto the laid-back spirit that defines life along the Front Range. The University of Denver and Metropolitan State University anchor the city's academic scene, and a broad range of industries, from aerospace and energy to healthcare and technology, keeps the local economy strong and steadily growing.

Neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, RiNo (River North Art District), and Washington Park each offer a distinct personality, giving renters plenty of options to match their lifestyle. Capitol Hill buzzes with arts and culture, RiNo draws creative energy with its gallery-lined streets, and Washington Park delivers a quieter, tree-canopied setting.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
