Lakewood sits just west of Denver with wide mountain views, easy access to Red Rocks and the foothills, a lively local dining and craft‑brew scene, parks and miles of trails—comfortable, walkable neighborhoods make it an enjoyable base for multi‑week contracts.
You’ll have quick transit or driving access to Denver for big‑city culture and hospitals, and Boulder’s outdoor lifestyle and restaurants are well within an hour, so you won’t be stuck somewhere with nothing to do.
