If you live on the west or east coast of the United States then you're than accustomed to days where it rains so heavily that doing anything other than staring out the window seems like too much hard work. That's typical of coastal climates though and it also means that you're in the same predicament as almost 80% of the rest of the Western world who have chosen to live within 15-miles of the coast of their respective countries; trading, hunting and fishing is made easier by access to the sea.
Fortunately Denver itself has what's called a semi-arid climate, which means very little rainfall and lots of sunshine. Now a lot of people would assume that because Denver is so close to the Rocky Mountains that this would mean a colder climate but in fact Denverites…

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013 at 6:00pm. 552 Views, 0 Comments.
Not everyone is going to add an international airport to their list of "must haves" when looking at any property but let's face facts here - having an international airport within a short drive of your home or business is going to be a perk for a lot of reasons.
Firstly if you're one of the many people who have to commute to their job each day or week then being able to catch your flight from your home city is always a plus - it saves hours of driving and the boredom and expense of staying in airport hotels. Overall it helps cut down on your commute and get to you there and back again as quickly and as comfortably as possible.
Then when you decide to take your family holiday having access to the entire world from your "local" airport is also a plus. It just…

Monday, February 18th, 2013 at 10:00am. 252 Views, 0 Comments.
If you're a sports fan of any kind then you're going to love the fact that Denverites just love their sports. So much so in fact that Denver has quickly become the hub of sporting events for mid-western America. In fact they've added 3 massive stadiums to the city in just the last few years and that doesn't seem to be a trend set to change any time soon.
The Top 3 stadiums in Denver right now are:
Infinity Park
With a capacity for 5,000 this stadium isn't massive but has been home to many national and international rugby tournaments, so if you enjoy watching the rough and tumble action of rugby matches you'll be in luck. When there is no international rugby matches being hosted Infinity Park is home to the Glendale Raptors - a Colorado-based rugby club.

Denver Is The Best City For Singles?

In as much as Denver is a family oriented city with everything a family could need in terms of education, health, shopping and entertainment, it also holds the honor of having won "Best City For Singles" 3 times in a row over the last few years. Now don't think for one second that this means Denver is some kind of wild party town because that's not what this award signifies at all.
In fact what's made Denver so hugely popular with so many single and married people is that it's so diverse in terms of cultural, dining and other entertainment attractions. When cities are rated for being "Best for Singles" there are a lot of factors taken into account in order for the judges to make their final decision.
When you look at Denver and districts like LoDo (Lower…

Thursday, February 14th, 2013 at 12:00pm. 137 Views, 0 Comments.
When you're thinking of buying a home in any city in the United States you're going to follow the pretty standard rule of "location, location, location" and that makes perfect sense. After all you're investing in a home where you could potentially spend several years if not decades of your life so of course you want to make the right choice from the outset. For most investors and homebuyers one of the last things on your mind might be how many parks any city has but they matter more than you might think.
Remember that trees are natural air filters and on top of enjoying the semi-arid climate of Denver, Colorado and the amazing views it's also nice to know that there are plenty of green spaces in the city for both you and your family or friends to enjoy.…

You've probably noticed by now that the city of Denver seems to enjoy throwing festivals, parades and celebrations of all kinds and the Denver County Fair is part of that too. To be fair the Fair itself is a relatively recent addition to the many attractions, which Denver has on offer but is a welcome one at that.

The Fair itself takes place on the 9th, 10th and 11th and you can expect all of the usual forms of entertainment but with a Colorado twist on them. You'll get to witness events like the skateboard rodeo,…

There's nothing quite like a multi-day Arts festival to really let you sense the real vibe of any city and the Cherry Creek Arts Festival is the perfect way for you to experience so much of what Denver has to offer. The festival itself has been running since 1991 and what you can expect to see is over 350,000 people visiting Denver during the 3-days of this celebration of all things both artistic and culinary - yes there's food involved too.
The festival draws visitors not only from all over the state and country but it also draws many artists from overseas too, with many overseas visitors joining them as a result. Of course this being a family event your kids won't be left out and you'll find there's plenty of "Artivities" for them to get involved in too.
Frack Alert Up in Denver
Monday, February 11th, 2013 at 7:01pm. 184 Views, 0 Comments.
"Don't Frack Denver's Water," a coalition of citizens and conservationists, has been organized to muster broad community support for the creation of a Master Leasing Plan (MLP) for the Colorado South Park Basin, which the federal government wants to lease to companies engaged in exploration of gas and oil deposits. The advocates of this movement fear that drilling and fracking within the basin located in Park County will eventually contaminate with potentially cancer-causing chemicals the nearby rivers and reservoirs supplying water to many local communities, including the Denver metro area.
The MLP’s establishment would require the formation of a stakeholders group to address the issues and concerns on the leasing plan. Furthermore, this group would seek…

Nichols Partnership Inc. has purchased from Los Angeles-based Karlin Real Estate the former Daily Camera building at 11th and Pearl Street in downtown Boulder, Colorado, for a fee believed to be around the $13.5 million mark.
Karlin bought the property in 2010 in a $9-million deal. It worked on plans during the last two years to build almost 160,000 square feet of office and retail spaces, restaurants, and movie theaters in three- to four-floor buildings at the site. It was just months ago that Karlin received approval from city hall to redevelop the property.
Randy Nichols, president of Nichols Partnership, described the property as an irreplaceable asset that is hard to come by in downtown Boulder. The full block that it occupies on Pearl Street is…
Colorado Offers $13 Million Tax Credits
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 at 8:57am. 222 Views, 0 Comments.
The Colorado Economic Development Commission has approved $13.1 million in state tax credits for three companies as an incentive for them to bring in 1,533 new jobs to the state. Certain conditions are attached to the tax credits, and the amount of incentives received may be reduced if the companies fail to deliver all of the employment expected. Another possibility is that other states may offer better incentives, thus Colorado would risk missing out on significantly boosting its employment level.
One of the companies is Redwood Trust Inc., a California real estate investment trust specializing in commercial and residential mortgages. This company is exploring the possibility of moving its operations to Douglas County, Colorado, and in the process…
