BusinessWeek recently named the country’s “Best Affordable Suburbs in America,” and Douglas County’s Roxborough Park made the list. Roxborough Park, Colorado, a Denver-area suburb with a population of 8,211, was ranked as the seventh best affordable suburb in the country, based on its affordability, high quality of life, amenities (country clubs and golf courses), low crime rate, quality education and low commute times.
The magazine described Roxborough Park as, “The red rock formations near Roxborough Park, a community that developed in the 1970s, are considered some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Colorado. The 3,339-acre state park offers residents hiking and biking trails, cross-country skiing, and educational programs for Colorado geology and wildlife. The Douglas County School District is one of the best in the state.”
