This is the Best Small City in Colorado to Call Home

I remember when I was a teenager and all I could think about was living in the city. Growing up in Colorado, Denver was the big city to me. The Mile High City is indeed a large city, but small in comparison to places like New York City, San Fransisco, or Chicago.

As the years passed and I was working in various large cities across the country, I became sick of the hustle and bustle that comes with any large metropolis. I wanted quiet and I also wanted a slower pace. When my wife and I finally came back home to Colorado, I knew that being in a smaller town was the right move for us.
