Equidistant from Boulder and Denver and central to various state highways, Westminster allows quick access to city life and the mountains. The town itself has many open spaces that offer gorgeous, sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains. Westminster is known for being low-key and with a variety of housing options, making it a great option for families. You’ll find plenty for the kids to do, with an extensive parks system and engaging family activities, including the Butterfly Pavillion, golf carts and games, as well as hiking, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife watching at the town's Standley Lake Regional Park. Westminster also has several golf courses, and if you’ve got a pooch in tow, you’re in luck. Westminster Hills Open Area Dog Park is a 420-acre off-leash paradise with beautiful views of Standley Lake and the mountains. It’s clear that ease, quality and convenience are the hallmarks of Westminster's way of life.
