Just 30 miles west of downtown Denver, the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains offer some of Colorado’s most sough
Just 30 miles west of downtown Denver, the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains offer some of Colorado’s most sought-after communities, neighborhoods nestled against protected land teeming with wildlife, breathtaking vistas, and a genuine sense of place. The greater Evergreen area first gained recognition in the mid-1800s as a logging hub supplying a growing Denver. Cattle ranching and mining followed, and eventually families arrived seeking acreage and views of the Arapahoe Range, Mount Blue Sky, and Mount Rosalie. Today, the area is known as a picturesque escape equally removed from the city and the ski slopes.
Jefferson County, home to Evergreen and its surrounding communities, offers world-class open space with 29 parks covering 54,000 acres for biking, hiking, horseback riding, and more. Red Rocks Amphitheatre, one of the world’s most celebrated music venues, sits just minutes away in Morrison. Other nearby draws include the Argo Gold Mine in Idaho Springs and Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave atop Lookout Mountain. The Foothills also support a thriving cultural scene: live theatre, art galleries, philharmonic and chamber orchestras, art classes, and book clubs among them.
Our Foothills communities have it all, and LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to call this region home. Connect with one of our local advisors to explore real estate opportunities in the area.
