Denver: Rocky Mountain Yuppie Haven

Friday, June 18th, 2010

We never hear anything about yuppies any more. What happened to them? Well, according to Forbes, wherever they are, yuppies should head for Denver (and a few other cities). The Denver Business Journal reported today that Forbes has listed Denver as the 8th best city for yuppies (young urban professionals).

What cities outranked Denver on the list? Well, Houston, Washington, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York, Boston, Dallas, and Seattle. But I look at it this way. Only two of those cities have great coffee and the Rocky Mountains. Yes, I’m talking about Denver and Seattle. I have to admit that if you had to choose between Denver and Seattle, it would be a hard choice. On the other hand, though, it does rain an average of 150 days per year in Seattle. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! But to my mind, that brings Denver right to the top of the list…

Oh, and according to  Forbes, we also have low unemployment, higher than average incomes, a reasonable cost of living, and a fair number of local companies looking for new hires.

So, if you are a young college graduate, looking for a place to make your way in the world, think about relocating in Denver, the Rocky Mountain Yuppie Haven.
