Denver suburb Lone Tree is a quick drive or light-rail ride into the city, making for easy work commutes or nights out—but there is plenty to keep residents occupied within their own boundaries.

Despite its relatively small size, Lone Tree boasts its own [arts center](https://www.lonetreeartscenter.org/), which hosts frequent music and dance performances, and the state’s biggest shopping center, the [Park Meadows Mall](https://www.parkmeadows.com/en.html). It’s also home to numerous parks and running and biking trails, including the [Bluffs Regional Park and Trail](https://www.douglas.co.us/dcoutdoors/trails/regional-trails/bluffs-regional-park-trail/), which delivers great views of the Colorado Front Range mountains and 3.5 miles of trails to explore.

The town’s main hospital, [Sky Ridge Medical Facility](https://skyridgemedcenter.com/), recently underwent an expansion and serves as one of the largest local employers, helping to fuel one of Lone Tree’s top draws: its steady economy. The town has an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and residents here earn a median income of more than $115,000 a year. *—Kerri Anne Renzulli*
