Thornton, Colorado is an amazing place to live! It is just outside of Downtown Denver and nestled under the majestic mountains. Thornton does an amazing job with upkeep of its parks and recreation. Living a healthy lifestyle is highly encouraged through activities that are always occuring for people of all ages.
I lived here for 7 years and had a great experience! it is growing in diversity and nice suburb of Denver that is very safe, family friendly and the schools are good. Although neighbors would move a lot there always came friendly people from all different backgrounds and that wanted a sense of community. In the neighborhood I lived they would have fun block parties in the summer!
A true family driven suburb of Denver. They put families first with all kinds of kid friendly activities. Between their Fourth of July festival, winter festival, and more, everyone can attend and have a blast year round. There are parks scattered everywhere and summer events at many. The recent edition of the light rail was a great installation because it means a more green commute to the city for work, baseball games, art festivals and more!
