Centrally located just south of Denver real estate in Arapahoe County, the City of Englewood, Colorado is home to over 30,000 residents in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area. Englewood's neighborhoods extend over 6.6 square miles of Colorado land at an elevation of 5,371 feet--close enough for citizens, businesses, and visitors to enjoy the small-town atmosphere as well as the metropolitan amenities.
With a median age of 36 years and a median household income of $38,943, residents are able to find a variety of affordable housing options and suitable Denver home loans and the diverse cultural mix of Arapahoe County.
Englewood incorporated on May 9, 1903 and is a home-rule municipality with a council-manager form of government as outlined in its 1958 City Charter. The city prides itself on providing residents and businesses with quality services. Almost 2,000 businesses within the industrial, manufacturing, and service sectors provide a full-time employment base of 23,500 jobs.
The majority of students attend Englewood Public Schools, with some areas of the city served by Cherry Creek, Littleton, and Sheridan public school districts. One of the state's finest alternative high schools and a few private schools are also available.
The state's climate, with moderate temperatures and low levels of humidity, contributes greatly to the high-quality lifestyle that its residents enjoy. The city is located in the Mountain Time Zone and utilizes the zip codes of 80110 through 80113 and 80150, 80151, and 80155 for post office boxes. The area codes are 303 and 720.
One point of interest in the city is the Merrill Wheel-Balancing System, the world's first electronic dynamic wheel-balancing system. In 1945, Marcellus Merrill of Merrill Engineering Laboratories came up with the invention. Although it is now recorded on the list of IEEE Milestones in electronic engineering and as an American Society of Mechanical Engineers landmark, beforehand all wheel-balancing for vehicles required the removal of the wheel from the vehicle--a slow, error-prone process.
