It’s not hard to fathom why Louisville turns up over and over again on Money’s Best Places to Live rankings. The town offers a winning combination of economic opportunity and small-town charm, with a touch of beneficial weather—245 clear days per year, on average.

Nestled right in the center of the Denver-Boulder corridor, Louisville boasts a low unemployment rate of 2.7%, thanks largely to [jobs in](https://louisvilleco.gov/business/economic-development/statistics) health care, tech, aerospace, and clean energy; Moody’s Analytics forecasts even more job growth over the next few years. The town’s [historic downtown](https://www.downtownlouisvilleco.com/about/), meanwhile, features 100-year-old wooden buildings, yoga studios, restaurants, coffee shops, and more, with a rich art scene and frequent live music.

Access to the great outdoors is key for many Colorado residents, and [32 miles](https://www.louisvilleco.gov/visitors/trails) of trails weave in and out of Louisville, offering plenty of hiking and biking options. Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away, and plenty of top-rated ski resorts take less than two hours to get to. *—Gabriela Fernandez*
