Breckenridge, CO Housing Market & City Data

As a resident of Breckenridge, CO for more than 30 years now, I'll share one of my favorite local quotes: I came for a winter, but stayed for the summers! Breckenridge has long been known as a world class ski destination located about 90 miles west of Denver, but the summers are magical with temps in the 70s and very low humidity. Founded back in the 1850s during the gold rush mining days, Breckenridge is one of the older mining towns to have survived through the years. And unlike some other modern-day resort areas around Colorado that can feel a bit "contrived" or built around the ski resort, Breckenridge maintains its original charm and character. Most of our clients who purchase in Breckenridge are purchasing for the lifestyle. They know they love it here, they want to continue to return to Breckenridge and Summit County for the skiing, snowboarding, hiking trails, biking, whitewater rafting, flyfishing and golfing at the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course. Many are purchasing a vacation home that they use exclusively for their families. Others purchase a property they can use when they're in town and then make available as a short term vacation rental property when they're not using it so they can offset some of the carrying costs to own a home or ski condo here. Breckenridge really must be experienced to be believed!
