Casper, WY

Meet Casper, located on the West’s newest frontier. This Wyoming wonder offers an idyllic quality of life, bountiful outdoor amenities, an increasingly diverse economy and some of the best higher education options in the area.

The best part: Casper is significantly more affordable than other major cities that make up the Western states, so residents get more for their money here – which makes it easier to indulge in all the fun activities the region has to offer.

The Rocky Mountains and North Platte River, which is known for blue-ribbon fly fishing, are in Casper’s backyard. Popular  outdoor attractions include Hogadon Basin Ski Area and Whitewater Park, as well as two public golf courses and two private golf courses with panoramic views.

Here, you’ll also enjoy a thriving downtown and David Street Station is the heart of it all, with a community stage, a lawn, a busker station for small performances, vendor space, a splash pad and an ice rink.

Casper is also the perfect place to launch or relocate a business. Its thriving economy includes strong manufacturing, health care, energy, and finance and insurance sectors that are attracting companies from all over. Bonus: There’s no income tax in Wyoming.
