WESTMINSTER, COLORADO
Elevation: 5280 feet
Population: 100,940
Location: 11 miles northwest of Denver off U.S. 287
Situated on the growing Denver-Boulder corridor Westminster is a growing suburban community that offers a wide choice of housing, excellent schools, and public facilities. Westminster's central location between Denver and Boulder puts it within easy reach of major business centers, retail centers, and a variety of entertainment and recreational facilities. The drive from Westminster to Denver International Airport takes approximately 30 minutes, which is appealing to business travelers.
Westminster offers hundreds of recreational activities. One of the best features in the town is the Butterfly Pavilion (at the Promenade), which will make any guest feel like they're a million miles away. This lush conservatory is home to 1,200 free-flying butterflies, including the brilliant Blue Morpho and a giant endangered species from Australia.
Westminster also has more than 2,000 acres of open space, 50 developed parks, more than 40 outdoor trails, and four golf courses.
For shopping convenience, Westminster houses a sea of new shopping districts. The Westminster City Center area hosts over 300 stores, including several large department stores clustered in and around the Westminster Mall. The Westminster Promenade, an outdoor pedestrian village, contains restaurants and cafes, a movie theatre, sculptures, hotel facilities, performance areas, interactive water features, walking trails, and a three-rink ice arena.
The city offers a lot of the old and the new. While new structures have made over Westminster, the town's history is carefully preserved at the Bowles House Museum. Westminster's Pillar of Fire building, a majestic neo-Romanesque-style building built in 1892, is another interesting tribute to the past. Numerous other structures are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
