Westminster, Colorado is positioned in the northwest quadrant of the Denver metropolitan area and is bisected by the Denver/Boulder Turnpike, a toll road which contributes to the city's continued growth. Residents enjoy living in close proximity to the numerous urban pleasures Denver has to offer, but delight in the small-town atmosphere of Westminster.

The Westminster Promenade with its unique community-like gathering place, quaint shops and cafes, and beautiful sculptures and fountains, is a favorite hometown destination. Other impressive sources of entertainment are the Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center, home to a diverse mix of insects, and the Sun Microsystems Ice Centre.

Westminster is the home of four outstanding golf courses, including Legacy Ridge and the Heritage, both 18-hole championship courses. Quality entertainment, open parks and trails, affordable residential areas and a high standard of living reflect the progressive thinking and commitment to quality for which Westminster is known.
