Westminster, Colorado, is a thriving suburban community conveniently located between Denver and Boulder, giving residents easy access to major business, cultural, and recreational activities within a 20-minute drive from their homes. One of its distinguishing features is the importance placed on conserving open spaces. Almost one third of the city is "green space."
The great mountain views and open spaces — 2,500 acres with over 40 miles of trails for walkers, joggers, bicyclists, equestrians, and wildlife watchers — are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The view of the Rockies from the top of the bell tower at City Hall is majestic.
Westminster offers a wide variety of choices in real estate, many nestled among parks and golf courses, everything from starter homes and mixed-use communities to luxury, executive estates. There are 25 public schools, 2 of which are charter schools, as well as 11 private schools. Residents can also enjoy 54 parks with playground facilities and four golf courses.
Although convenient to Denver and Boulder, you don't have to drive there to shop. Westminster boasts a City Center area with over 300 stores, including both department stores and smaller specialty stores. The Westminster promenade, an outdoor pedestrian village, has restaurants and entertainment venues that include an ice rink, bowling center, movie theater, performance areas, and an insect zoo. The Butterfly Pavilion is home to over 1,200 free-flying butterflies.
Westminster real estate is located in a vibrant community that offers a wide choice in housing, neighborhoods, entertainment, and outdoor activities — a great place to live, work, and play.
