Westminster is part of Adams County and is conveniently located in between the cities of Denver and Broomfield. Residing here makes the drive to downtown Denver or Interlocken in Broomfield a very easy commute. Westminster has many outdoor activities for the whole family, such as softball teams, a hockey team or hiking and biking on the many green belts and pathways.
Westminster Biennial Citizen Survey:
-
With some 90 percent of residents rating the local quality of life as "very good" or "good," Westminster outranks the national average.
-
More than 70 percent of residents believe they are getting "very good" or "good" value for the tax dollars they contribute to the city.
-
More than 70 percent of residents think the City government in Westminster operates "very well" or "well".
-
Survey respondents gave excellent ratings to the quality of the city's emergency medical services, recreation facilities, fire and police protection, library services, recreation programs, drinking water quality, and trails and parks maintenance.
Broomfield has both access to all the conveniences of a large city and also the advantages of living in a small town-the best of both worlds! There is an excellent quality of life in this town, beginning with helpful and friendly people and a low crime rate, the advantages one would find in a small town. On the other, there is accessibility to educational and medical facilities, and a rich cultural life is all nearby.
Broomfield was the state's first "planned community." It was officially incorporated as a statutory city in 1961. In 1974, a home rule charter was adopted and the city's first master plan was adopted. In 1995, a new master plan was created. It was updated again in 1997. It was reviewed one more time before Broomfield made Colorado history in November 2001, when it became its own county, the first to be added to the state in more than 100 years.

First Time Buyers >The Elements of Location
When you are in the market for a home, how should you evaluate the properties that appeal to you? There is an old cliché about the three most important factors of a piece of property--location, location and location.
Some neighborhoods have a certain distinction that attracts buyers, but there are other factors to take into account. A house in the best part of town may have a few points subtracted if it is located on a busy street. There are buyers who would like to be close to schools, shopping, and churches, but don't want to live across the street from these facilities. You may want an easy commute to your job, but would not consider a location close to the "on" ramp for the major route into town. A location close to a airport could be convenient if you are a commercial pilot, but could make it difficult to sell even the most wonderful house.
As you balance all of the factors, remember that a location liability which gets you a great house at a reasonable price will probably require you to pass a similar savings on to future buyers.
