11 Best Places to Retire in Denver

11. Denver

Average commute time: 24.85

Median home price: $251,600

Cost of living index: 115.1

It may sound a bit ironic, but it’s the truth – Denver is the last on our list. Living in Denver is great, but the stats aren’t great enough to push the city up the list any more than this position. The median home price in the city is above $250,000, which is a lot of money. The average commute time is close to 25 minutes, which isn’t all that terrible, but it isn’t great either.

Regardless, Denver is a great city if you want to have a lot of activities to do in your spare time. There are plenty of entertainment options, art and culture, shopping galleries, museums, a zoo and the botanic gardens.
