Not just for extreme sportsperson... - 5/22/2014
It doesn't get any better than this little town, nestled between two stunning mesas. Beauty abounds in every direction. You have that "small town feel" but are just minutes away from the Denver metropolis. Golden has good schools, fun shopping, and many great churches.

Love this place! - 4/26/2014
Golden is a fantastic place to have a family! Close to metro Denver, but close to the mountains and all its recreation.

The schools are very good! My boys are 5 and 7, and we have been very appreciative of the high quality of teachers and leadership in the schools. Golden parent are very involved in their kids' education, so they have high standards and the schools meet them.

Golden is one of the few town in metro Denver that has its own "town feel." Lovely downtown area with lots of local events. I wouldn't live anywhere else in the Denver area than Golden! Well worth paying a bit extra for you home to live in this beautiful Read More
