DENVER - BOULDER Enchanting as its landscape, Denver and Boulder offer a lifestyle that is unsurpassed in work, life and play

Denver skyline at dusk

DENVER - BOULDER : E nchanting Welcome to Colorado, where 300 days of sunshine, a thriving cultural scene, diverse neighborhoods, and natural beauty from the east and west combine for the world’s most spectacular playground. Constantly breaking the mold in politics, pop culture, and economics, Colorado lives by its own rules and loves every minute of it.

The two great cities in Colorado, Boulder and Denver, are about 30 miles from each other in the northeastern section of the state. Both with their own story to tell, these vibrant cities are full of history, art, culture, fabulous food, and even better neighborhoods. Residents in these fabulous cities know a lifestyle that is above par, and future residents can expect nothing but the best from these close-knit cities.

and

Unparalleled

DENVER Denver, the capital and most populous city in the state, is located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains, just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, approximately 12 miles east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Nicknamed the “Mile-High City” because its elevation is exactly one mile above sea level, it is one of the highest cities in the United States and the 105th Meridian west of Greenwich passes directly through Denver Union Station. The estimated population in 2015 was 682,545, making Denver the 19th most populous and fastest growing U.S. city. In 2016, Denver was named the best place to live in the USA by U.S. News & World Report.

The RE/MAX Collection

In the summer of 1858, during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, a group of gold prospectors from Lawrence, Kansas established present day Denver as a mining town on the banks of the South Platte River. The town faded just as quickly as it had begun. But that was not the end. In November of 1858, General William Larimer, a land speculator from eastern Kansas Territory, placed cottonwood logs to stake a claim. Soon after it had established itself as a frontier town, with an economy based on servicing local miners with gambling, saloons, livestock, and goods for trading.

In May 1859 the residents donated land to secure the first wagon route, trimming westward travel time from 12 to 6 days.

By the end of the 1860s, the decision to route the nation’s first transcontinental railroad through Cheyenne, rather than Denver, threatened the prosperity of the young town. Citizens mobilized to build a railroad to connect Denver to the transcontinental railroad. Despite challenges, on June 24, 1870, citizens cheered as the Denver Pacific completed the link to the transcontinental railroad, ushering in a new age of prosperity for Denver. By August of 1876, Colorado was admitted to the Union.

Finally linked to the rest of the nation by rail, Denver prospered as a service and supply center. The young city grew during these years, attracting millionaires with their mansions, as well as the poverty and crime of a rapidly growing city. Intent on transforming Denver into one of the world’s great cities, leaders wooed industry and enticed laborers to work in these factories. Soon, in addition to the elite and a large middle class, Denver had a growing population of German, Italian, and Chinese laborers, shortly followed by African-American and Spanish workers.

INFRASTRUCTURE Denver’s economy is based partially on its geographic position and its connection to some of the major transportation systems of the country. Because it is the largest city within 500 miles it has become a natural location for storage and distribution of goods and services to the Mountain States, southwestern states, as well as all western states. Over the years, the city has been home to large corporations in the central United States, making Denver a key trade point for the country. Several

well-known companies originated in or have relocated here in the past several years. Major companies like Denver Instrument Company, AIMCO - the largest owner and operator of apartment communities in the US, Samsonite Corp., The Gates Corporation - the world’s largest producer of automotive belts and hoses, The Wright & McGill Company - produces the Eagle Claw brand of fishing gear, Frontier Airlines, Scott’s Liquid Gold, Inc., Big O Tires, LLC, The Shane Company, Molson Coors Brewing Company, Coors Distributing Company, The Newmont Mining Corporation - the second largest gold producer in North America, and several others. Large Denverarea employers that have headquarters elsewhere include Lockheed Martin Corp., United Airlines, Kroger Co., Xcel Energy, Inc., and MapQuest.

Geography also allows Denver to have a considerable government presence, with many federal agencies based or having offices in the Denver area. The Denver area is home to the former nuclear weapons plant Rocky Flats, the Denver Federal Center, Byron G. Rogers Federal Building and United States

Courthouse, the Denver Mint, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

With its host of companies, headquarters, and links to several transportation hubs, its easy to see why Denver has become such a populous city and why people are continuing to flock here, and not just for the snow and high altitudes.

DENVER’S NEIGHBORHOODS Denver is surrounded by a wide variety of suburbs. Some have great schools, some are as picturesque as a cozy ski town in the mountains, some have the mansions, and some are family friendly. The neighborhoods in the city offer a variety of housing options and more things to do than in the popular Denver suburbs. From upscale homes to “urban pioneer” neighborhoods to manicured mansion communities, they are all within 15 minutes of downtown.

Chic Cherry Creek offers its own upscale shopping, arts, and restaurants district. The Santa Fe Arts neighborhood also has a great variety of galleries, shops, and eateries. Of course these areas are pricey. Be prepared to pay

more in the best city areas than in the suburbs. Old warehouses converted to lofts are common in neighborhoods near downtown like Lo-Do and Lo-Hi. Downtown Denver neighborhoods include Lo-Do, Lo-Hi, The Central Business District, Golden Triangle, Uptown, Curtis Park and City Park. Lofts, traditional condominiums, town homes, renovated Victorian homes, as well as bungalows comprise the housing stock here. These areas are popular with the younger generation looking for the nightlife, and empty-nesters enjoying the amenities the big city offers, including theater, sports, shopping, and world-class dining.

Chic shopping, boutiques, and art studios can be found in Cherry Creek. This area is very popular with empty-nesters who enjoy the lifestyle of the affluent without children at home. Denver Country Club is located within walking distance of Cherry Creek shopping and has its own exclusive country club right in town. This is for Denver’s elite. On the south side of Cherry Creek, you will discover Bonnie Brae, Belcaro, and Polo Club. Again, there are stately

mansions from days gone by and brand new homes too. Bonnie Brae has probably the most affordable homes with some priced under one million.

University Park is further south from downtown near the University of Denver with homes for the well-to-do. Park Hill is due east from downtown Denver, and it’s full of stately homes from the past and some brand new homes.

Stapleton, the site of the former Denver airport, was converted into a mixeduse residential community. While most of the land there has residential homes or is designated for future homes, some of it is retail, restaurants and commercial offices, many builders are still building brand new homes and demand is high. The nearby Anshutz Medical Center is rapidly developing into one the top national medical complexes in the nation. Young families who are reluctant to retreat to suburbia, flock to Stapleton.

As Interstate 25 goes south out of Denver proper, it travels along the southern suburbs. Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village are considered among

University of Colorado, Boulder

BOULDER Located just 30 miles northwest of the more popular Denver, Boulder is famous for its colorful Western history. A popular choice for hippies in the late 1960s, its focus is on health, well-being, quality of life, education, and art.

It is also home to the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state’s largest university. Life is Boulder is much calmer and laid back. The mix of college life and family life give way to everything you could want in a city, without all the hustle and bustle.

NEIGHBORHOODS Boulder itself is one the highest priced areas for homes because of the limited growth policies of the City Council. It is a great place to live, but the neighborhoods are hard to characterize, as they were developed over time in a piece-meal fashion. The result is many of the neighborhoods are only a few hundred homes in size, and it is common to have two adjacent neighborhoods developed at different times with completely different price ranges.

The 28th street shopping district of Boulder is where all the fun begins, with shopping galore and several yummy local restaurants. Many Boulderites consider this to be the touristy area of town, but you can think of it as a place where you can find just about anything you’re looking for.

South Boulder or SoBo is different than many of the central and northern neighborhoods. This area was built during Boulder’s high-growth period during the 60s and 70s. South Boulder includes two very large neighborhoods, Table Mesa and Martin Acres. These homes were not custom homes and as you drive around you will see ranch style homes along with many multi-level homes. People like to live here because of the proximity to hiking trails, and good schools, and because it is a better value than you can find in North Boulder. There are many homes that have been remodeled and you will find some beautiful homes and quiet streets in South Boulder.

East Boulder is a residential area with a good mix of moderately priced homes, condominiums and some larger homes. There are rentals and owner-

occupied homes in this area. It is a typical suburban neighborhood with good neighbors and easy access to downtown Boulder.

The area from Broadway to the mountains and between downtown Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology can be broadly characterized as University Hill and Chautauqua. Homes in this area tend to be older, some are high-end, and there is no shortage of rentals due to Colorado University. The rule of thumb is that the closer you get to the mountains the fewer students you will find and the nicer homes you will find. Proximity to the mountains and hiking trails is a big draw.

The Mapleton Hill neighborhood is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Boulder.

This is a historic neighborhood and many of the homes are over 100 years old. The prices are quite high on a square footage basis as many of the houses are quite large.

This is where the original mining mavens lived when Boulder was first settled.

Broomfield, Lafayette and Louisville offer a variety of housing options on the US 36 highway corridor. Louisville has been named the top city in the US for livability several times. The new Flat Irons Mall offers a wide variety of shopping and restaurant opportunities. Thornton, Northglenn, Brighton and Commerce City are affordable and pleasant middle-class neighborhoods. There is mixture of older neighborhoods and brand new communities here. Some of the schools in Brighton are well rated. Reunion is the newest planned community here by Shea homes and it utilizes some of the Brighton schools even though it is located in Commerce City. Niwot, Erie and Longmont are further north but with upscale neighborhoods and some excellent schools. Many gated and luxury home communities are located in this corridor between Boulder and Longmont.

CALGARY

A converging metropolis like the rivers that etch its place in history, nothing can compare to the wonder of this city.

The RE/MAX Collection

S

et dramatically between prairies and peaks, Calgary is a chic Canadian metropolis buzzing with innovative energy while still embracing its rich western heritage. Located in the Canadian province of Alberta, Calgary is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, and about 80 kilometers east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies where you can experience some of the best winter activities Canada has to offer.

Calgary’s inception began in 1902, when oil was first discovered in Alberta.

However, it did not emerge as a significant industry until 1947 when reserves were found in Calgary, and it quickly found itself at the centre of the oil boom. The city’s economy grew rapidly when oil prices increased with the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973. The population increased by 272,000 in the 18 years between 1971 and 1989, and another 345,000 in the next 18 years. During the height of the population explosion, the relatively low-rise downtown seemingly grew overnight with skyscrapers that soared to the sky.

To this day the oil and energy sector employs a large number of Calgarians, but when the recession hit in the 1980s the fallout from the economic slump was significant and the unemployment rate soared. Calgary quickly realized it could not put so much emphasis on the oil and gas industries and the city became much more diverse, both economically and culturally.

During this transition Calgary went from a mid-sized prairie city to the major metropolitan it is today. The economic fiber of Calgary includes activity in the energy, financial services, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health and wellness, retail, and tourism sectors. Growth culminated in the city after hosting Canada’s first Winter Olympic Games in 1988, the success of these games essentially put the city on the world stage.

Calgary Tower

Even with its booming metropolis, Calgary is still rich in western culture and earned the nickname “Cowtown,” evidently from the Calgary Stampede, a 10-day massive rodeo embraced by the whole city in July. Surrounded by

The RE/MAX Collection

incomparable natural beauty, this is a place where you can explore the magic of the Canadian Rockies or the mystery of the badlands by day and be back in time for fine dining in the city at night. Calgary’s cultural scene sizzles with a spectrum of arts and performing arts centres and the city’s ever-evolving culinary scene is breaking down walls across the country.

ARTS AND CULTURE Calgary was designated as one of the cultural capitals of Canada in 2012 and continues to live up to that honour by offering a number of multicultural areas throughout the city. Home to several performing arts centres, musical halls, theatres, art galleries, and art festivals, you can be sure your senses will be heightened as you experience the city and all of its wonders.

With many Calgarians living in the city’s suburbs, more central districts such as 17 Avenue, Kensington, Inglewood, Forest Lawn, Marda Loop, and the Mission District have become more popular and dense for cultural festivities.

Forest Lawn, the area around 17 Avenue SE is also known as International Avenue, is among the most diverse areas in the city.

Calgary | 5 There are a number of art galleries in downtown along Stephen Avenue; the SoDo (South of Downtown) Design District; the 17 Avenue corridor; and the neighbourhood of Inglewood, including the Esker Foundation, which is also home to the Alberta College of Art and Design. The Glenbow Museum is the largest museum in western Canada. Its collection represents western Canadian art and culture, not only as a representation of important cultural history, but also a living record of contemporary life in this part of the world.

Other major museums include the Chinese Cultural Centre, the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame and Museum, The Military Museums, the Cantos Music Museum, and the Aero Space Museum.

With its rich history, Calgary also hosts a number of annual festivals and events. These include the Calgary International Film Festival, the Calgary Folk Music Festival, FunnyFest Calgary Comedy Festival, Sled Island Music Festival, Beakerhead Arts, Science and Engineering Festival, the Folk Music Festival, the Greek festival, Carifest, Wordfest: Banff Calgary International Writers Festival, the Lilac Festival, GlobalFest, Otafest, FallCon, the Calgary Fringe Festival, Summerstock, Expo Latino, Calgary Pride, Calgary International Spoken Word Festival, and many others.

As you may have guessed numerous films have been shot on location in Calgary and its surrounding areas, mainly due to its vast terrain and scenic backdrop. Films of note include: The Assassination of Jesse James, Brokeback Mountain, Dances with Wolves, Doctor Zhivago, Inception, Legends of the Fall, Unforgiven, and most recently the award-winning The Revenant.

The Calgary Public Library is the city’s public library network, with 17 branches loaning books, e-books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, audio books, and more. Based on borrowing, the library is the second largest in Canada, and sixth largest municipal library system in North America. The 22,000-squaremetre Calgary Central Library is currently under construction in Calgary East Village, and is expected to be completed in 2018.

The 2,538-seat auditorium was opened in 1957 and has hosted several Broadway musicals and theatrical, stage and local productions. The Calgary Jube is home to the Alberta Ballet Company, the Calgary Opera, the Kiwanis Music Festival, and the annual civic Remembrance Day ceremonies. Both auditoriums operate 365 days per year.

The city is also home to a number of theatre companies; among them are One Yellow Rabbit, which shares the Arts Commons building with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as Theatre Calgary, Alberta Theatre Projects and Theatre Junction Grand. Calgary was also the birthplace of the improvisational theatre games known as Theatresports. The Calgary

Ambitious, creative chefs and restaurateurs are launching exciting new projects as many established eateries are hitting their stride.

Moreover, Calgary has grown its own gang of celebrated chefs — local stars that food enthusiasts hope to catch a glimpse of preparing their food in modern open kitchens. The creation of a cohesive culinary scene is the result of clever chefs working together to promote the idea of a community of restaurants for Calgarians to get excited about and out-of-towners to go out of their way to visit.

Calgarians have a long-running appreciation for good-quality chocolate, with an appetite for well-crafted decadence. One of the most famous chocolatiers, Choklat, was recently voted the #1 Chocolate Maker in Canada. Choklat imports raw cacao beans from around the world, which are used to produce bars of 48%, 70% and 80% chocolate. Guests can enjoy made-to-order truffles with chocolate filling and coating and a thousand combinations of ingredients like fresh fruit, liqueurs, nuts, spices and mint. If you are more into candy then Olivier’s is the place to go. Operating since 1909, Olivier’s is Calgary’s version of Willy Wonka. The Inglewood shop makes their own chocolate hedgehogs, truffles, barks, caramels, and beavertails – thick salted pretzels dipped in caramel and chocolate. Many are made using the original recipes created over a century ago. Whatever tempts your palate, you can be sure your appetite will be satisfied with Calgary’s culinary wonders.

OUTDOOR FUN - WINTER OR SUMMER Calgary Stampede Park - July

After indulging in all the culinary delights, it’s good to know that there are plenty of ways to enjoy fun in the sun during the summer or winter months. Calgarians spend a good part of the year in snow and they embrace it to the fullest with exhilarating outdoor activities and events. Slice through fresh powder as you float down the Canadian Rockies. Canada Olympic Park offers exceptional training ground for athletes as well as fun for the entire family. The park also has a Super Pipe so skiers can test their freestyle and snowboarding skills all within Calgary city limits. Banff National Park is about a two hour drive away and is home to three top-rated ski resorts: Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Mount Norquay. Visitors can snowshoe through a sun-dappled forest, take a walk in a canyon illuminated by frozen waterfalls, have a drink at an ice bar surrounded by marvelous ice sculptures, mush a dogsled team across a frozen lake, enjoy some of the best skiing and snowboarding on the planet, or just relax and watch the snow fall from your cozy cabin. Calgarians know winter in Calgary is top-notch.

LUXURY NEIGHBOURHOODS ABOUND Canada Olympic Park

After a day on the prime powder, Calgarians like to relax and enjoy the good life in the luxury neighbourhoods that span Calgary. Because it is so vast and spread-out, it is divided into four sections: Northwest, Northeast, Southwest,

and Southeast. Luxury neighbourhoods are abundant here and can be found in pockets throughout the sections, and not in just one location. If location is a priority, you can be sure your requirements will be met with Calgary’s luxury real estate market. From quiet sustained luxury homes in the outskirts, to highclass suburban living, or the fast-paced modern city indulgence, there is a place for everyone.

ROXBORO, CALGARY | AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD NET WORTH: $6.38 MILLION | AVERAGE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME: $845,038 | AVERAGE HOME PRICE: $1.39 MILLION For one of Calgary’s high net worth neighbourhoods follow the course of the Elbow River to a tidy set of tree-lined streets. Bordered by the river on its north and St. Mary’s Cemetery on the east, Roxboro is often mentioned in the same breath as Rideau Park, a similarly affluent riverside neighbourhood to the west. Among Alberta’s richest neighbourhoods, Roxboro is a small inner-city suburb surrounded by natural amenities and within close proximity to downtown and major transportation routes such as 4th Street, Macleod Trail, and the pathway system.

MOUNT ROYAL, CALGARY | AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD NET WORTH: $6.54 MILLION | AVERAGE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME: $617,128 | AVERAGE HOME PRICE: $1.29 MILLION Mount Royal is home to the neighbourhoods of Upper Mount Royal (to the south) and Lower Mount Royal (to the north), which are separated by an escarpment that runs along Cameron and Royal Avenues in an east-west direction. Upper Mount Royal (along with Elbow Park) is one of Calgary’s wealthiest neighbourhoods and is home to some of the city’s most expensive estates ranging in age from nearly 100 years old to brand new. Originally an enclave of the city’s American born business elite, the neighbourhood was initially known as ‘American Hill’. Today Mount Royal retains its prosperous character and posh real estate choices.

EAGLE RIDGE, CALGARY | AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD NET WORK: $6.55 MILLION | AVERAGE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME: $660,328 | AVERAGE HOME PRICE: $1.13 MILLION The mainly conservative community of Eagle Ridge is well connected to Calgary’s major roadways, including Glenmore Trail, Crowchild Trail, and 14th Street.

The area’s community centre hosts a variety of programs, including yoga, karate, highland dancing, wood carving, hockey, soccer and tennis. The centre’s adjacent ice rinks are popular, and are paved so they can be enjoyed by in-line skaters in the summer. There are a number of special community events held in the area each year, including the annual Halloween party, a skating party, an evening dinner and dance and an annual wingding to end the soccer season.

Nestled between the Glenmore Reservoir and the Calgary Golf & Country Club, the citizens of Bel-Aire and Mayfair enjoy the finer things in life.

Compared to their affluent peers on this list, they drink more fine wines and craft beers; they go to museums, art galleries and the ballet more often; they are the most likely to have recently travelled to Europe or the Caribbean and, of course, the most avid skiers!

ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME: $1,452,094 | AVERAGE HOME PRICE: $2.28 MILLION Calgary’s richest neighbourhood hugs the east bank of the Elbow River, with gently rolling hills offering million-dollar views of the river valley and the Rocky Mountains in the distance. The neighbourhood of Britannia was designed from the very beginning to be an upscale community: in 1952, when the average Calgary lot was going for $250, building lots in Britannia were sold for up to $5,000. Today it remains a landmark collection of some of the best examples of mid-century modern architecture in the city.
