Golden Colorado Real Estate

The Golden real estate market is a gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Located just 12 miles west of Denver, Golden was founded during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in the mid-1800s. The Golden real estate market became such a boomtown that it became Colorado's territorial capital in 1862. The birthplace of Jolly Rancher candies and Coors beer, Golden preserves much of the small-town charm of the original mining camp that put it on the map.
