Northern Colorado city at 1,525m elevation along the Front Range of the Rockies — anchored by Colorado State University (one of the largest research universities in the US) and a craft-beer cluster (New Belgium Brewing, Odell, Horse & Dragon all founded here). Old Town (the dense walkable historic core) and Campus West are the typical anchors. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. The structural draws are immediate access to the Rocky Mountain National Park gateway (Estes Park, 1h west), 300+ days of sunshine, and a deep cycling-and-outdoor culture. Colorado has state income tax (4.4%); summer fire-and-smoke risk is real.
