There are many reasons, many of which have been posted here- like proximity to urban centers, diversity of life, safety, etc. But, I have to add in- really cool places to hang your hat, for a good meal, a fine ale, or a cultural center.
Over the last 5-10 years, Central Denver has become a place of cultural wonders. This could be Denver's Museum of Contemporary Art, (located in LODO),
the Vance Kirkland Museum (a contemporary of Jackson Pollack), 
or the new wing designed by Daniel Liebeskind designed Denver Art Museum, near the State Capitol.Denver is becoming a wonderful cultural hub, where one can find plays, art, and sports. It is experiencing a restaurant renaissance, and due to the Democratic National Convention spending time here, in August, there is a lot going on in Denver. I do believe that it has potential of becoming something like a San Francisco, but hopefully not as expensive. I implore ye to visit these museums! They have certainly had a lot of money poured into them, and the work is incredible. All of which are different, and you could see them all in a day.
Spotlight on local, cool hang-outs: The Cheeky Monk, located at 534 East Colfax Ave, at Pearl. it is a Belgian Beer House, from the owners of the Royal Hilltop in Aurora. Here is a picture of it. I can also say that it is a great food house, as well. I have yet to engage their full menu, but in Belgium, beer is king. As with wine in France, beer is what Belgians drink.
Where does this involve real estate? It has everything to do with the attractiveness of an area- why people settle in specific areas. Yes, they want a cool place to live, yes they want proximity to that which is 'cool'! But, all said and done, they need places to spend time and money to enrich an area. Places like the museums and the Cheeky Monk are pretty cool places.Thanks!
