I've been in CO for 3 years now.
I live in one of the city suburbs and can get to the center in 20 mins.
Pluses -
Awesome weather - approx 300 days of sun. You can have snow in the morning and by the afternoon it can be gone and you can be playing golf in a t-shirt. City and suburb winters are generally mild.
House prices are very reasonable, you can get a 5000sq ft house for $300k and up depending on area.
Scenery is beautiful, lots of outdoors stuff to keep those types busy. Ski-ing, rafting, hiking, biking etc
Theres a Casino town in the mountains which is pretty size-able or Vegas is a 1 hour flight away.
Pace of life is nice and slow but not to the detriment of customer service.
Cost of living in general is low...gas, eating out etc.
People are laid back and very pleasant, restaurant service staff in particular.
Probably the worse thing about CO is the job market....its not bad, just static.
Denver is a young city, lots of young professionals. Denver also got voted the best place to be single in 2006.
If you're married with a family the suburbs are very oriented towards providing things for you to get out and do.
Good school system....Cherry Creek in particular.
Downsides -
Nightlife.......NJ being close to NYC you will get access to better nightlife.
