Centennial

Centennial is home to the closest non-commercial airport to downtown Denver and home to a large fleet of corporate jets.

Centennial Airport is the third busiest non-commercial carrier airport in the country. If you happened to leave your Lear jet at home, this is the place to charter a small plane for your private tour of the Rockies.

One of Colorado’s newest cities, Centennial was incorporated in February 2001. It boasts over 100,000 residents, making it Colorado’s 10th-largest city. Centennial is home to the Streets at Southglenn, which offers a variety of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. And suds lovers will love this — this near-Denver locale has its very own quiver of craft breweries including Resolute Brewing Company and Halfpenny Brewing Company.
