Although Englewood is home to the most jobs and businesses per square mile than any other city in the Rocky Mountain States, this city is very proud of their 124 acres of park land pervading throughout the community.
It is easy to confuse Englewood with surrounding municipalities. Why? Because Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Centennial and parts of unincorporated Arapahoe County have Englewood zip codes but are not really in Englewood.
