Colorado: It's a State of Mind and a Way of Life!

If you have recently decided to move to Colorado, we want to say congratulations!  Colorado is an amazing state that offers beautiful scenery, an active lifestyle, forward thinking industries, and a rich American culture. Residents of Colorado come from a variety of backgrounds, which helps to make our community diverse and interesting.   

Despite our differences the one thing most of us Coloradans have in common, is our genuine love for our state and compassion for our neighbors. I personally have never lived in a state where everyone I meet is just happy to be alive, healthy and breathing fresh air.  Moving to Colorado was definitely the best thing I ever did, and I hope you will find the same to be true. In an effort to help make your move as rewarding as possible, here is our guide to being a Coloradan.

Location is key. First of all if you haven’t already selected a city in which to reside, choosing the best location for your family will make a world of difference in how your relocation goes.  Yes it’s true that most cities and towns in Colorado are beautiful and offer similar amenity but choosing the right location is a critical decision. Every one of our top three cities offers a slightly different way of life.  Denver, Colorado is one of the most happenin’ places in American and offers residents a sophisticated urban setting.  This community is great for people who love the hustle and bustle of city life and want to be were all the action and commerce is.  Colorado Spring is Colorado’s second major location and offers residents a more suburban city setting which is centered on family life and military interests.  Boulder, Colorado, or “The Republic of Boulder” as locals call it, is an entity in itself that seems to live outside of traditional constraints and sits on the forefront of modern eco-friendly living. 

Establishing your life. After you have moved and transferred over everything, it’s time to start living like a Coloradan. Coloradans are active, friendly and involved.  The best way to get things started is to exploit what you love and find others who are interested in the same things.  Participation counts the most in this aspect and will help to make your move to Colorado that much more beneficial.  What ever your passion is, there is certainly a social group out there that is dedicated to it in Colorado.  Whether it’s skiing, painting, hiking, being a mom, or loving your dog; Colorado residents love to share what they like with others. So be social and invite other people, especially your neighbors and coworkers, into your life through mutual interests.

Be environmentally conscious. If you didn’t recycle in the last state you lived in, its time to make a change.  Mother Nature and the gifts she has given us, is not something most Colorado residents take lightly.  In places like Boulder and Denver, recycling and composting is not only a means of disposing trash but it’s a way of life.  This is also true when it comes to waste and energy consumption.  The biggest trend in Colorado living is eco-friendly everything!
