Renter's Guide to Denver
Famous for the Denver Broncos, mountains, and outdoor activities, Denver is the largest city in Colorado. The Mile High City sits 5280 feet above sea level, and the area was not populated until the mid 1880s. During the Gold Rush, Denver began to grow, and ever since its Wild West days it has been a cultural and sustainable area with “big city” appeal.
The Mile High City is smaller than Chicago and Houston. Compared to Baltimore and Tampa, Denver is bigger. With a total land area of 155 square miles, Denver is about the same size as Seattle.
Denver is a little over 900 miles away from San Antonio, Texas, and almost 2,000 miles away from Boston. Colorado Springs is a mere one-hour drive away and driving to Boulder takes about 35-40 minutes in good traffic conditions.
The weather in Denver boasts 300 days of sunshine, with the possibility of single digit temps in the winter and mid 80s in the summer. The Denver climate can be very dry during summer months as well as winter months, and cold temps with snow can last from October to May.
