Conifer

Conifer lies southwest of Denver in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and just under 20,000 people call Conifer home. The median income for residents here is $104,000 while the median home price is $300,000. Conifer is a very community based place to live. There are several festivals here as well as an abundance of things to do. Hiking and biking here combine with a feast for the eyes with the beautiful views. There is also disc golf, six zip lines with two of the longest and fastest in Colorado, sledding, and snowshoeing.

The schools in Conifer are very good, from the elementary right through high school. The students here repeatedly score well above average on state testing standards and collectively have some of the highest in the state.

Just about everything you could need is located here in town. With the exception of a hospital, there is a medical clinic and private practice doctors, clothing shops, two chain grocery stores, veterinarians, restaurants, etc. Several years ago my family and I were in Conifer and stopped to eat at the local Mexican restaurant and loved it. We also loved how friendly so many of the townspeople were. There is a type of laid back feel that gives the impression people like to know their neighbors. It seems as if it would be a great place to call home, especially for anyone who enjoys mountain living.
