Golden sits fifteen miles due east of downtown Denver on Interstate 70, where the urban landscape begins to give way to the rugged beauty of the Front Range. Surrounded by huge parks full of hiking trails (and, of course, fairly close to several ski areas), Golden apartments are excellent for folks who like to spend their time outdoors.

Golden is famous as the home of Coors Brewing Company, but like many other Colorado communities there are several breweries around town. Bus and light rail service connects Golden to the rest of the Denver metro area, making it easy to get to work or just explore without depending on a personal vehicle.
