Our main facilities are located in Boulder on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. The region, known as the Front Range, is where the flat plains of the Midwest meet the foothills of the Rockies. The majority of Coloradans live on the Front Range in Denver and the surrounding cities.
Where we live
While our offices are mostly in Boulder, many of our employees choose to live in cities and towns in the surrounding area. Each city has a unique culture and offerings, and the variety allows employees a wider range of options to meet their budgets and lifestyles. Here are the top cities our employees live in.
