The city
Living in Denver, CO
Denver runs about 6% above the national average on cost of living — a premium RNs offset with foothills sun, craft breweries along South Broadway, and weekend escapes to Red Rocks and Rocky Mountain National Park. Settle in LoHi for walkable dinners or Washington Park for tree-lined running loops. The altitude just means better cardio.
