About
Life in Greenwood Village
This affluent suburb south of Denver is fundamentally a place for established professionals and families who've made it financially—and you should go in knowing that upfront. The median household income hovers around $149,000, and the median home price sits just over $1.2 million, so this is decidedly an upper-income community where you'll be surrounded by educated, stable households (nearly 79% hold college degrees, and the median age is 42.7 years). The job market here is solid thanks to the Denver Technological Center, which anchors the local economy with major employers in tech, finance, and logistics—companies like Charter Communications, Empower Retirement, and Newmont keep things humming, and your average commute to work is only about 21 minutes, which is genuinely reasonable for the metro area.
