Denver real estate comprises the largest city and capital of the state of Colorado, it is the largest city and forms the heart of the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area. Denver real estate is located on the plains just east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains which provide an awe inspiring skyline to the west.
Denver is nicknamed the "Mile-High City", because its official elevation, measured on the fifteenth step of the state capitol building, is 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level. (The elevation is 5,431 ft [1,655 m], as surveyed at the Denver International Airport). Denver has also been known historically as the "Queen City of the Plains" because of its important role in the agricultural industry of the plains regions along the foothills of the Front Range.
Denver's economy is to some degree based on its geographic position and its connection to some of the major transportation systems of the country. Since Denver is the largest city within 600 miles, it has become a natural location for storage and distribution of goods and services to the Mountain States. Denver is also approximately halfway between the large cities of the Midwest like Chicago and Saint Louis and the cities of the West Coast, another benefit for distribution.*
