Denver Metro Overview

[0:00] Despite what you may have heard, the Denver metro's population is continuing to grow. Just in 2025 alone, we added more than 64,000 new people to the Denver metro area as a whole. But the biggest growth in 2026 in Denver is not going to be where you think it is. It's actually happening in six of the most under the radar suburbs just outside of Denver proper. These areas are building at breakneck speeds. new schools, new infrastructure, new retail, and many of them have some of the biggest companies in the world planting their flags here.

[0:32] And the crazy part, the prices of these homes, a lot of them are priced like we were in 2018. So, in today's video, we're going to talk about the six under the radar suburbs that you should be keeping an eye on if you're thinking of moving to the Denver area in 2026. Number six, and right off the bat, I know this one is going to surprise you. It's actually Aurora. Now, Aurora kind of has a bad name to it if you were to just Google it because there's a chunk of Aurora that's not so good on East Kfax, but Aurora is actually huge. So, it has seen a 4.3% population increase since 2020. Now, I know that's not double digits and huge numbers, but Aurora is a big city with 400,000 people. 4.5% growth is actually a pretty darn big number. So when we look on a map here, we can see this entire section to the east of Denver is all Aurora.

Aurora: Value & Opportunity

[1:24] It's huge. And this part here, this is East Kfax. This is the part that gets all the headlines in the news. But the rest of Aurora is actually really, really nice. Um, you know, you have a lot of builds here that happened in the 90s kind of in the central part of it. And then this southern part is mostly new builds. Tons of golf courses down here. The Aurora Reservoir is gorgeous. You have beautiful homes in the Fox Field area. Uh you're in the Cherry Creek School District. So, it's one of the top rated school districts in the entire state. I mean, need we say more, you know, and then it's getting close down to Parker over here. So, you get that kind of Parker new build ranchy horse property sort of field to it. Now, why the growth here? Well, a big chunk of Aurora, you know, the central parts and so you can actually buy something in the 4 or 500,000. So, it's a great alternative to the rest of Denver, which is going to be much more expensive. You have some huge major employment centers.

[2:23] You have Buckley Space Force Base. You have the new Anshes Hospital up there. Uh there's a lot of logistics and industrial corridors throughout Aurora. So big manufacturing, like it's just got a great pull of businesses that want to be in Aurora. Um because you can fill a lot of jobs in Aurora. It's a large residential uh population here. No big real city centers, more strip malls, think '90s builds, um large school districts, right? We already talked about Cherry Creek. Uh really high on the list. We have people that we know I'm in Denver proper just to the west of where Aurora's lines would start. We have a lot of our friends that have moved just to the east to be in the Cherry Creek School District in Aurora for a reason. Now, price-wise, over the last 15 years, we have seen some massive growth all the way down from 140,000 in 2009 as the median price all the way up to the mid 400s today. Now, over the last 12 months, we're recording down as 4% year-over-year. But this is where the opportunity lies because I do think that transaction count is going to be way up this year. And it's an opportunity to buy in and ride the wave up. We've been kind of stagnant for the last few years here. And I think we are going to see a break to the upside. And with the appeal of prices in Aurora versus Denver, you just get so much more home for your money here. So like this, if you were looking in Aurora today in the 400s, you can find something like this, 1300 ft² typical 3-bedroom, two bath, 8,000 ft² lot home at 464. You know, if you had a little bit more of a budget, at 640,000, you have 3700 square ft², four bedrooms, three bathrooms, beautifully updated home, right? This is on the newer side.

[4:08] You've got land to it. You can move right in. You don't have to update anything. This doesn't exist in Denver proper in the 600s. In the 600s, you get about a 1,200 square ft home that probably hasn't been updated since the 70s or 80s. And if you do have a goodiz budget and you can find some incredible properties here like this at $3 million, I mean 8,700 square ft, impeccable home. So when I say that, you know, Aurora kind of has a stigma out there, that's just one little chunk of Aurora. The rest of Aurora is actually really, really nice, but you don't have to pay kind of Denver proper prices. And if you are finding yourself potentially going to be making the move here, you know, just feel free, call me, text me, reach out. I love talking about real estate all day, every day. That's what I do. Or if you're not ready to chat yet, you can download my relocation buyer guide.

[4:58] There's going to be so many questions that you're going to have that are going to be answered in that free download for you. Now, getting on to number five here. We're going to head a little bit further south of Aurora into Parker. Now, Parker is a great little town. Uh, and it is expanding rather rapidly. In fact, Parker comes up on some of the best places to live in the country consistently year-over-year, and it has for a while. The population is up 12% since 2020, and for good reason. Me and the wife have been looking down in Parker. And if you look on a map, if you don't know where it is, it's kind of in the southeastern part of the Denver metro area here, just south of where we were just looking in Aurora. On a map, Parker comes up as this little section, but actually everything to the east over here is also considered Parker all the way down to kind of the Elizabeth cutoff here. But the Pinery is in Parker. It's just not in proper Parker city limits.

Parker: Rapid Growth

[5:56] Okay. So, when you look on the MLS for properties like you're going to see stuff, and we'll show you in a minute here, all the way further to the east, much bigger horse properties, things like that. Over the last handful of years, Parker has seen explosive growth, right? All the way from the mid200s on its medium price all the way up to the mid to upper 600s currently. Now, again, this January was not great in the Denver market as far as closed transactions.

[6:22] So, the median price is down 5.8%. Again, just like Aurora, this is where the opportunity lies. Parker will not see a steady dtrend. It has national recognition to it and will constantly be growing. So, this is where I think the opportunity lies. We've been kind of chopping around the six to 700s. So, you can actually buy something, negotiate purchase price, you know, uh repairs, things like that on the inspection, you know, and and actually get in without having to pay 50 to 100 grand over. So, why such growth? Well, Parker's downtown is really, really cute. So, if you want that downtowny little feel uh that's kind of removed from Denver, like you absolutely have it in Parker. Their farmers market is incredible. We go down there often. Uh and then hiking trails are so super accessible. Dog parks here.

[7:11] A lot of the infrastructure is really, really new. There's a lot of newer built homes here as well as large kind of sprawling ranches, horse properties. So, it has this appeal to everybody. Douglas County Schools rated some of the best schools in the state. uh has a big appeal. Also, during CO, what we saw was we saw a lot of people that were kind of wanting more space and getting out of Denver proper uh and getting away from some of the issues that come with any city that's growing. And Parker was a huge draw for a lot of people and ourselves included. We didn't end up making the move. Our daughter started high school, so we kind of get locked in for a 4-year period. But we've been looking at four to five acre properties down there because we're at that age where we would just want that space and want that feeling uh for our personal lives. And so it has that appeal for, you know, if you're a hunter, right? If you're a rancher, if you're a horse person, uh if you want good schools in that suburb feeling life, like Parker has it. And if you were looking today, you know, on the MLS for something like 460, yeah, it's going to be a starter type of home at about 1,600 square feet, just a single level ranch here, but it's not in bad shape. It's decently updated, so it still is accessible up to the 500s in the Parker area for something that you can just move right into. If you have a little bit more of a budget up in the 800s, you're going to have a lot more options here, but you're also going to get 4,000 square ft, four bedrooms, four bath, newer built property. again, just going to be impeccable, move in ready with newer floor plans and open up concepts and things like that, more primary baths, uh, you know, instead of being all boxed off. And then kind of the the sky isn't quite the limit in Parker. We don't have many $5 million homes, but we have plenty of $1 million to $2.5 million properties. And here you get something that, you know, we've been looking for, right? Uh whether or not we want a log cabin style, I don't know.

[9:10] But you get incredible deck outdoor space. You get a lot of that Texas ranch feel here when you get to some of these open lands. Now, this looks like it might be two to three acres. Uh, you know, long driveway though. And I mean, just incredible space. Like, I would love to be at home here every single day doing our thing. Um, dogs running around, you know, the wife able to get goats and chickens and whatever she wants to. Like, this is what a lot of people are seeking when they are looking in Parker. This stuff isn't that far out of town, right? So, when you look on a map here, and that's 6,000 square feet, you know, says it's only three bedrooms, four bathrooms, but I'd be surprised if there was an opportunity to add more.

[9:48] And it's $1.55 million. So, yes, it is in the mid $1 million range, but you got to think of what that gets you like in Denver proper. That'll get you, you know, a 4,000t house probably built 10 to 15 years ago on a 6,700 ft lot in some parts of the city. not all parts of the city. That's not going to get you that in Wash Park, right? That's not going to get that for you in uh you know, Belgaro area. Um it's not going to get you that in Hilltop. Like it's only going to get you that in certain parts of the city. Now, when you look on a map, so a house like this is in this further eastern part of Parker. And you know, as you look and you zoom in, you can start to see instead of the lots going from, you know, house after house after house on 8,000 foot lots, you get this chunk here, which is 2 to three acres, right? So, you're not really seeing your neighbors every single day.

[10:41] And then as you go to the east a little bit more, you know, you do get some 40 acre properties mixed in here with ranches, huge outbuildings and barns and stuff like that. Super common out here. So, that's kind of the mixture. But I mean this area right here, let's take this property, right? This looks like it's on a 20 or 40 acre lot, right? All by themselves and right over by Delbert Road, you know, you're a few miles east of where downtown Parker is. Uh so that's a huge draw. You can have these types of properties, but be less than a 10-minute drive, still have a pizza delivered, right? Still have UPS delivered for Amazon. That's the appeal to Parker. Now, coming in at number four on our list, not really so much a city, but darn it, it might as well be. We're talking about Sterling Ranch. So, Sterling Ranch is a chunk of Littleton, kind of in the southwest part of the Denver metro area. And as of 2026, there have been over 3,000 homes built and sold in just the past few years. And their current plans to have projected about 12 to 16,000 in total, which is absolutely huge. the population numbers, you can't pin down on it again because it's just one section of the city. But I mean, it's gone from what, a few hundred people up to probably 10 to 15,000 just in the last handful of years alone. Now, when you're looking on a map, where the heck is Sterling Ranch? Well, it's to the southwest part of the Denver metro area, just south of Chatfield State Park. It falls within the Littleton uh cityish limits down here. Uh that's what that's what the address has come up at at least. And this is all pretty much new. So if we look at kind of a satellite view, we can see, you know, there's big tracks of land here. And then boom, new development communities.

[12:26] And so all this empty land pretty much that you see here is all getting built in. Now, what's really cool about this location-wise is of course Chatfield Reservoir, right? My wife goes down there every weekend in the summer. Uh I'll go bring the dogs early in the morning on Sunday and uh she does triathlon swimming in Chatfield Reservoir and actually one of the gravel ponds down here uh you know where they don't allow any motorized boats on and I'll go take the dogs for walks all throughout this trail system all down here and these neighborhoods have direct access to these trail systems. So if you're a big biker hiker uh you know walking your dog for miles every single day like you have direct access to this.

[13:06] I mean, heck, you can strap your paddle board to your back and just go walk and pop it on the lake within a couple of miles, right? Um, and it depends if you live in this check uh section of the new builds up here. Um, I forget what the builder is off the top of my head, but I mean, these things are a block or so from the lake over at Chatfield. Really incredible access. Now, this area is still getting built up massively, so there's not a ton of shopping and things like that here, right? You're going to have to drive a little bit until more of that gets built up. You're pretty much going to have to go over to 85 over here. Santa Fe, this is going to be your stretch of where most of the shopping is, but this is this is going to be blowing up over the next few years, ladies and gentlemen. Sterling Ranch is not anywhere near to slowing down. Now, from the numbers, we have to pull up Littleton, you know, as far as the median price goes, because that's that's the the um city that it's a part of. And Littleton is down 5.5% year-over-year.

[14:02] Again, January wasn't a great year, but this is where the opportunity lies. Uh, as this part of town is growing and as they get a lot more of that commercial development in, like it's going to be its own uh, community down here, right? It already is, but it's going to be more of its own city feel down here, similar to what Parker kind of feels like. Now, if you were looking today on the MLS, you do have some more affordable options that are south of 600,000. They're mostly going to be town homes and condos, but this one was built in 2025.

[14:35] It's still 2300 ft², three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and it's going to be a new build property, right? Quartz countertops, shaker cabinets, new appliances, new flooring, new it's a it's a new build property, right? The layouts are going to be what you want. Garages, like the builders know today what people definitely want. And so they're at 550,000 currently. Yes, your neighbors are going to be closer, but you know, that's part of having a new build property is they have to build them closer for the developers to make money. But you got new, so you're not going to have to update anything for a good 20 plus years, right? It's a great starter home opportunity or a move up buy if you're coming here from out of state or, you know, you're moving from downtown Denverish, like amazing opportunities here with a little bit more budget in the 800s. 4200 ft², five bedrooms, four baths, uh, twocar garage.

[15:22] you're just going to get a lot more space uh for your buck. You're going to have, you know, kind of smallalish lots. You're going to have upgraded fixtures [snorts] and features throughout the home. Uh just better floor plans, fireplaces, stuff like that. They're beautiful properties out here, right? Uh and then on the upper end, in the mid1s, you don't have a lot of two to three million properties here in Sterling Ranch. 6,400 square ft², you know, threecar garages become the norm, and then you're just going to have beautiful finishes, you know, throughout the home, great floor plans, beautiful kitchens.

[15:55] You know, you get a lot of home in the $1 million ranges in Sterling Ranch here, and a ton a ton of upside. Now, coming in at number three on our list, we kind of got a theme going here on the southern part of the Denver metro area, and that's for good reason. Coming in at number three is going to be Castle Pines. This is one of my favorite parts of the entire Denver metro area. I don't know if most people would consider it part of the metro area because it's more part of Castle Rock and it's becoming its own little nook. And when you head down to Castle Pines, like there is a clear division between the metro area and when you start to get into Castle Pines because it's built on the Palmer Divide. Uh so there's a clear divide when you make the drive south on I25.

Castle Pines: Luxury Living

[16:38] Now, some of the numbers here, the population is up 37% since 2020. There's been a lot of building going on down in Castle Pines. Now, when you look at it on a map, so here's Castle Pines. And so, you can see here's the Denver metro area in the 470 loop, and you got Lone Tree down here in Highlands Ranch, and then you kind of go through this blank zone here. And this is what makes you all of a sudden really feel like, okay, you're leaving the Denver metro area and you're heading to somewhere else. the western side of I25, this is Castle Pines and Castle Pines Village down here. Uh they are more built out and they have been for several years now. Um the eastern part of I25, this is the canyons over here where a lot more of the new builds are coming up. So less trees and I'm going to show you kind of the difference here between them. Um I'm a fan of the west side. You know, if you want a brand new build, I get it. The canyons are incredible, but I do like Castle Pines's Village down over here.

[17:34] Personally, personal preference of mine. So, what's the big appeal? What's the big draw here? You know, Castle Pines does attract more of that luxury lifestyle, right? The medium price is a bit higher. Um, you know, you have a lot of retirees that move here. The golf courses are incredible. There's three worldclass golf courses. You will see people driving around in their golf carts in Castle Pines. Now, it is a full gated community. So, even to get into these neighborhoods, you've got to go through a gate, which is why it's common to see on the paths that are all weaving throughout Castle Pines, which are incredible to hike uh and bike on. You do see golf carts all the time with people going to the golf courses. Like, that's part of the life here. You have your own little nook. You have your own little place to be. Shopping-wise, you're going to have to drive down to pretty much uh the Castle Rock area, right? These are the outlets at Castle Rock. Here's all your shopping down here. Whole Foods. And even though it's not far, like some of these are some windy roads through here. Uh because you kind of feel like you're in, you know, the the foothills even though you're not in the foothills. You know, Google Maps, you can't even drop the guy down there because it is a gated community. But let me see. I'll drop it down in this section. Like that's your road, right?

[18:52] Tall pine trees. Um horse properties all over the place. like golf courses. This is your feeling. You feel like you're in a different world in Castle Pines. And that is a huge part to the draw here. Now, pricing wise, Castle Pines is right now in the mid800s. You know, uh about 10 15 years ago, mid 400s. So, well, more than 100%. And it ranges big. You can see there's some months that the median price is over a million bucks and then it'll get down into the 700s depending on how many properties have actually closed. So, right now we're stating we're up 12% year-over-year, but again, there's such big swings here in Castle Pines, and not a ton of properties sell here every single month.

[19:32] So, the numbers can can kind of be skewed, but it's a very sought-after place for people moving here from out of state who want the Colorado feeling, but yet they really don't want to be in the foothills and have like crazy mountain lifestyle. Okay. Now, if you were looking today uh for a property in Castle Pines, you do have some starter home stuff south of 600,000 that is newer. Like this one was built in 2023, 555,000, 1,700 ft². Now, this is going to be kind of a townhouse condo setup uh with multiple floors and it's going to be newer and it's going to be nice and this is going to be kind of your more affordable option. This is not generally what people think of when they think of Castle Pines, right? If you were to say, "Hey, I live in Castle Pines." probably not thinking that you live in a condo.

[20:17] Little bit more uh budget-wise in the 800s. This is where you start to get more of your standardized stuff. 3,700 square f feet, three bedrooms, three baths. Uh this one is right off the golf course here. You know, this is going to be your single level living. Castle Pines understands their demographics, right there. The the the median age here is on the upper side. I think it's in the upper 40s, young 50s, um which for median age is a little bit on the older side. And so they're catering to that population with the floor plan, single level living uh at its finest and just a wellbalanced all-around lowmaintenance type of home. Then on the upper end, you know, in the two millions, this is where you get into Castle Pines Village. And this is more of what people think of with Castle Pines. 6,000 ft², 5bedroom, six baths, and more of that uh Texas Ranch feeling, if you will, on newer built properties built within the last 20 years or so. Uh you get the tile roofs and you are in kind of the hills, right? You have the tall pine trees around you, expansive floor plans, beautiful outdoor hardscaped uh fountains and little ponds and stuff like that. No fences, you know, and so you can see your neighbors, but you generally only see a couple neighbors.

[21:34] And then let's get to the outside here. And then on the outside, they really prioritize that outdoor living lifestyle. Like I said, you know, outdoor fire pit here. Lots of emphasis put on an outside lifestyle here in Castle Pines Village. Outdoor kitchen kind of grill setup with another fireplace, huge decks, huge patios. Like, this is not uncommon in Castle Pines Village, but yes, you generally have to be in the mid $2 million range uh to have a property like this in Castle Pines. Now, working on number two here, we're going to stay close to Castle Pines. We're just going to head a little bit south down to Castle Rock, which the population has exploded since 2020, and they're up 14%. It's also one of the safest suburbs around the Denver metro area. I think it comes in at number one, and it might be in the top list of the top five safest cities in all of Colorado currently. They've done amazing things here, right?

[22:28] Location-wise, you are not far from the Denver metro area. So, when we look at Castle Rock here on a map, it's all kind of juttied around as they do new developments, it's kind of adjusting the borders of where Castle Rock proper is. And, you know, it looks like it's outside of the Denver metro area, but if you worked in the DTC, depending on where you were at in Castle Rock, it's about a 15-minute drive. Okay, that's how not big Denver is. Just to put that into perspective here, I would happily live in Castle Rock or Castle Pines and make the drive every day into Denver and not even think twice about it. It's not that bad of a drive. Uh because it's a straight shot up I25, right? Once you get on the exit, you're, you know, 5 8 miles from the Denver Tech Center. It's really not that bad, you know, and this attracts a lot of people moving here from out of state. Uh but outdoor access is huge, right? There's hiking trails all around you. Just to the west, just to the east, dog parks galore.

Castle Rock: Family Homes

[23:24] Infrastructure is fairly new here. When you drive around Castle Rock, like it's all pretty new. They do have an older downtown area, so it has that really cutesy feel to it. Kind of that hallmarky feel, as I kind of joke, like downtown Parker, like downtown Littleton, like downtown Arvvada. And so it has that feel to it. And you have everything that you need here. You got your Home Depots and your Lowe's. You've got your Murdoch. You've got uh Costco is a little bit north here. Um which I don't doubt that they're going to be building one here soon. You have your outlet malls there. Uh Colombia, Lululemon, all that stuff is going to be here as well. So, you really don't need to leave your bubble if you work in Castle Rock whatsoever. And it's just been growing exponentially. Now, median price-wise, we're sitting in the mid600s at about 660. That's down 2.4% 4% year-over-year, but that's up from the mid200s as of about 10 to 15 years ago.

[24:16] So, close to 300% appreciation in that time frame so far. And I see some massive upside potential here for Castle Rock. As people get more tired of, let's say, Denver proper. They want a little bit more space, but they don't want to be totally removed from the metro area. Castle Rock is a prime place to be. Schools are great. again, Douglas County School System. So, a huge pull for families uh that are kind of doing the move up thing and you don't have to spend a million bucks to get a real home down here like you do in Denver metro proper. So, if you were looking today, right, at around 500,000 you've got this, it's 1,100 ft². So, yes, it's a starter home, but still it's a starter home at 1,100 ft² for 500,000. That's a great option, right? This type of home doesn't exist in Denver. Again, that's the appeal to it. a little bit more of a budget around 950,000. You can get a 4,000 square ft real home built in 2021.

[25:12] Uh, you know, and that's going to be what you want out of a home today. New finishes, going to be extravagant. You're still going to have some views in a lot of places just like this one does. And, you know, this is going to fit the lifestyle for most families out there. Then on the upper end you do have to the east and the west of Castle Rock proper you have properties like this 3.5 million 5800 square ft beautiful expansive property on land no neighbors gated leave me alone. Uh but you want to be in that kind of scrub oak rolling hills view of the entire divide and front range uh from half the home right.

[25:53] Beautiful dining rooms, open concepts, uh, beautiful kitchens, like not uncommon to find pools down here, horse properties, things like that just outside of Castle Rock. Yet, you can be just a few minutes from downtown Castle Rock proper, similar to Parker. And so, you don't have to be removed from, you know, daily life and you can still have a pizza delivery. Now, before we hit number one, if you're finding yourself with way more questions on your mind and you need to reach out, just call me, text me. I'd love to talk with you. um or download my relocation buyer guide.

[26:23] It's going to answer so many of the questions that you currently have. Now, number one, we are going to head to the opposite side of town all the way up north. We're going to go to Eerie. Eerie is up 28% in population since 2020. Super duper explosive. So, why? What's the deal here? Well, you know, it's kind of an interesting suburb. It is a part of the Denver metro area, but people would also think of it as being kind of a suburb of Boulder as well, even though Boulder is kind of turning into the Denver metro area. So, when you look at a map here, Erie is north of town on I25. So, if you're going to go to downtown Denver, right, you're probably looking at about a 25 to 30 minute drive most times of the day, just a straight shot over to I25 and straight south.

Eerie: Hidden Gem

[27:07] Traffic can get pretty heavy going there. But people that work in Boulder, right, they live in Erie. People who work in the Interlock and Tech Center down here in Broomfield are great with living in Eerie. You get some farms up here. Um access to hiking, you know, you got to pretty much go west over to the Boulder area for that. There are some trails that kind of wind in throughout here, but really you're heading west to the foothills. Um but there's a lot of new build properties up here. It's open.

[27:34] You get more space. You get more kind of familyfriendly. And it's people who are again rejecting kind of Denver proper and they're wanting more of a quiet lifestyle and Erie is providing that for people. So if you were to look today, you're going to see the median home price is sitting around the 700s. Okay, that's down 3.6% year-over-year, but that is up from 2010 from about the mid200s. So they're already up a solid 300% from 12 15 years ago. Uh, and I think it's going to continue going if Lafayette, Lewisville, and Boulder are any indications, which have all continued to skyrocket. I think Erie is the next town up north that's going to that's going to hit that pocket. So, if you were looking today, right, around the 500s, you can still buy something, right? This was built in 2018, so not terribly old. 1,650 ft², three bedrooms, three bathrooms, great.

[28:29] What would be considered a starter home for Eerie, right? It's not going to be super fancy, but it's going to be clean. It's going to be newer fixtures. You can move into this thing and not do any major work to it as a great opportunity for a firsttime home. Uh, you know, with a little bit more budget around 1 million, the prices do escalate pretty quickly here. 6,400 ft², right? 6,300 ft², five bedrooms, five bathrooms, beautiful homes, threecar garage. This is built looks like 2023 probably going to have all your new fixtures, you know, the new open concepts, beautiful, huge kitchen. uh a little bit white uh kind of washed in my opinion. I like a little bit more color in my life, but hey, for a new build property, like again, you're not going to have to do anything for the next 20 years in this property. Then kind of on the upper end here around 2 million, you start to get some properties that have land that are outside of kind of their city center.

[29:24] 6,400 square ft, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and now you're going to be on land. you know, you're going to have more character to the house. Um, you know, these are kind of generational style homes that most people are in for 20 plus years and the turnover is not going to be huge on them. It's going to be similar to kind of that Castle Pines thing. People that want their space, want their privacy, you know, they're they're valuing views. I mean, you can see the views right outside the bedrooms here. You're going to get a lot of that in Eerie because of how it's located.

[29:56] And then in views like this, the hot air balloons is not uncommon. We see that weekly around town here. Uh but the views are incredible and again more horse properties up here and stuff like that. So it is drawing multiple different sectors of people to it. Schools are great. Uh you've got a huge different stockpile of newer and a little bit older homes to kind of fit more budgets. And then size, space, availability, you've kind of got that all here in Erie. It's kind of like the Castle Pine/Parker of the northern part of town. Now, these six cities are definitely something that should be on your watch list if you're thinking about moving here. But there's a lot of misconceptions and negativity does unfortunately get too much press out there about the whole Denver metro area, which is why I put together this video.

[30:41] And this is exactly why I am never going to leave Colorado and it's going to be my home forever.
