Situated between Denver and Boulder on the city’s northwest border, the nearly 110,000 residents of “Westy” have discovered a brilliant blend of all the best of Downtown and a University village.

The largest employers maintain employee levels at or below 1,000 people, meaning that the economy receives strength from a well-rounded array of areas. Westminster is family central. The public schools, mixed between Adams and Douglass counties, rank well above national average, with nearly 20 elementary schools spaced throughout the town.

What’s Around Westminster?

The city lies at the crossroads of several highways, meaning you’re never far from anything. Westminster shares one of the best public transport systems in the country, allowing residents to travel by bus and light rail in either direction, from Denver to Longmont. Even still, most residents own a car. The history of Westminster in on full display, including the famous Westminster Castle (often called “The Big Red Castle”) and sprawling homes that can be seen on a self-guided Historical Walking Tour. Take a few extra steps in the Mile High City to climb the Castle’s bell tower for the best view of the entire Front Range. Westminster is notoriously dog friendly. Fido is welcome inside many businesses (BYOD) and there is no shortage of shopping options to pamper your pet.
