Adobe Intern Community Guide - Denver

WELCOME TO DENVER

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR INTERNSHIPWITH ADOBE! We are so excited you will be joining us soon. Denver is an amazing and diverse community with tons of activities to do and places to see. Nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile above sea level, Denver is the capital of Colorado and the state's most populous city. It’s also a major economic center for the aerospace, telecommunications, healthcare, and financial industries. Denver's location in the Mountain Time Zone also benefits the telecommunications industry by allowing communication with two North American coasts, South America, Europe, and Asia in the same business day. Denver also has the largest city park system in the country with more than 200 parks within the city and 20,000 acres of parks in the nearby mountains. We have compiled some information together for you to help get you oriented with your internship location. We wish you luck in your housing search! WHAT TOKNOWABOUT RENTING IN DENVER Denver, Colorado, located between the Rocky Mountains to the west and the high plains to the east, is nearly in the center of the United States, making it a natural crossroads for both domestic and international commerce. The local Denver area has seen exponential population growth that only continues to accelerate, strengthened by an oil and gas boom. Although there has been an increase in apartment construction, additional job growth has kept housing demand and rental prices up. Aurora to the east, Lakewood to the west, and Westminster/Broomfield toward north are all easily accessible by car or public transportation. East Aurora is in the excellent Cherry Creek School District. Boulder, another popular community with outstanding schools, is 25 miles northwest Denver. The Denver rental market remains highly competitive. Finding a home requires an open mind, preparedness, and quick decision- making.
