Denver Metro and Central Colorado: All Communities

 

View Community Listings

Central Colorado is a region of the U.S. state of Colorado. It can be roughly defined by Jackson County in the northwest, Weld County in the northeast, Pueblo County in the southeast, and Chaffee County in the southwest. Some notable towns there include Denver, Boulder, Golden, Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Georgetown, Breckenridge, and Vail. Central Colorado is home to most of the population of the state and its geography is dominated by the Rocky Mountains, their foothills, the rivers that run through them, and the open prairies that lie downstream. Denver is the capital and the most populous city of the State of Colorado of the United States of America. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles (24 kilometers) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed The Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5,280 feet or approximately 1,609 meters) above sea level.
