I remember the very first time I visited Breckenridge, Colorado. I said, “Hey, this looks like and authentic little mountain town you see in pictures.” My friend replied, “It is.” And I’m not alone in thinking that, I recently went there with friends again last year for some snowboarding, and they said basically the same thing I said. I’ve seen several of the towns in that area, and none of them are as nice as the town of Breckenridge. So if you’ve considered buying property in the mountains, Breckenridge is a great choice.
Maybe you just want to get out of the hectic city or just have a place where you can go to relax anytime of the year. The scenery there is hard to beat, and opportunities to be in the great outdoors abound.
Breckenridge isn’t the cheapest mountain town to live in, but that doesn’t mean it’s unaffordable. Properties can be had for $200k - $3 million, so there is likely to be something to fit your budget, whether you plan on permanently moving there or just buying a second home.
Whether you’re looking for a condo in town, or a cabin nestled back in the mountains, you’ll likely be able to find it in the Breckenridge area. There is also a variety of duplexes and townhouses in the area.
One of the biggest draws of Breckenridge is the world class ski resort in the town. With 145 trails offering everything from very easy greens to expert only double black diamonds, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for at the ski resort. And when you’re done for the day, it sure is nice to go back to a nice warm cabin, build a little fire, and sit around and drink hot chocolate and relax for the evening.
However, there’s more to Breckenridge than just winter activities. If you love hiking and biking, then there is just as much to do in the summer as there is in the winter.
And if that’s not enough good news for you, the Breckenridge area provides an excellent area for investment. The area has seen a rise in home values for the past 20 years, and estimates suggest that trend continuing into the foreseeable future. Even in a weakening national real estate market, the Breckenridge area is still going strong, with prices going up 5 to 7% in the past year.
So if living in the mountains is a dream of yours, why put it off any longer. Visit Breckenridge and learn everything an authentic mountain village has to offer.
