Pros:
- Small town feel with a population of just over 12,000 provides a more relaxed environment than nearby Denver.
- Close proximity to Denver (only 7 miles away) allows easy access to the city's amenities and activities.
- Historically served as a railroad town in the late 1920s, giving it industrial roots.
Cons:
- As a suburb of Denver, it has less employment opportunities than the larger city.
- Small population means fewer cultural activities and dining/entertainment options compared to Denver.
- Development did not really take off until 1940, so it lacks the long-established infrastructure
