The official elevation of Denver is 5,280 feet – exactly one mile high. That makes Denver real estate the highest of any major city in America. The Mile High City has always been the most important city between Chicago and the West Coast, but these days it’s also the fastest growing big city in the United States. The multitude of outdoor opportunities is one contributing factor. Attractive home values are another. It also hasn’t hurt the cachet of Denver that the city became the first in the country to legalize marijuana possession in 2005, which it followed up in 2014 by becoming the first state in the Union to legalize recreational marijuana sales. This in turn has resulted in a significant boost to state coffers.
