Living Here

The Five Star District represents a premiere place to live, learn, work and play. Located on the northern tier of the Denver metropolitan area, Adams 12 Five Star Schools serves five cities: Broomfield, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster. In addition, the district's boundaries include portions of two counties - Adams and Broomfield.
Adams County ranks among the state's top five largest counties and is projected to be the fastest growing county in the metro Denver area over the next two decades. As part of Denver's northwest quadrant, Broomfield has been the high-tech hub of employment in the area for the last 50 years.
Colorado has over 300 days of sun and nearly 40,000 miles of trails and some of the best skiing in the world. What else do you need?
