Relocation Insights

Virginia and Denver: Why People Move

Why people move from Denver to Virginia

  • Northern Virginia's technology economy (Amazon Web Services HQ2, Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, CACI, and hundreds of defense contractors) creates a concentration of technology and defense employment opportunities that rival Denver's aerospace corridor.
  • Virginia's wine country (Charlottesville's Monticello Wine Trail, Middleburg's hunt country) and Chesapeake Bay access provide lifestyle amenities that combine Appalachian mountain proximity with coastal waterway access.
  • Virginia's Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, and Appalachian Trail provide outdoor recreation within 90 minutes of Northern Virginia's suburbs.

Why people move from Virginia to Denver

  • Colorado's 4.4% income tax is meaningfully lower than Virginia's top rate of 5.75%; for buyers earning $400,000, the difference exceeds $5,400 annually.
  • Denver's median home price is approximately 15 to 25% below comparable Northern Virginia markets (McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Mclean, and Arlington) when property taxes are included.
  • Denver's Rocky Mountain skiing within 90 minutes includes world-class resorts; Virginia's nearest skiing (Snowshoe, Wintergreen, Bryce) requires 2 to 4 hours and offers substantially smaller terrain.
