Luxury Market in Durango
Home to some of the most beautiful mountain views in the country, Durango offers luxury properties that compete with the big names like Aspen, Telluride, and Vail.

Whether you are looking for a place to take your family for ski vacations, private mountain living with nobody around, or something in town, there is an option for you.
In town
Be sure to look at the historic 3rd avenue homes. Still standing from Durango’s rich western history, many of the houses on 3rd ave and the surrounding “grid” (as the locals call it) have played their role in developing this beautiful town. The Gable House, located on 5th ave, is a prime example of in-town living at its best. Built in 1892, The Gable House has been a staple of Durango’s real estate market. With modern refinements and a rustic feel, you are sure to get the best of both worlds. The Gable House is just one example of Durango’s many options within walking distance of the Historic Downtown area.

Durango’s surrounding area provides tons of options for private living without the cost of similar towns, providing you with more for your buck.

But it’s not just active mountain life either. Durango also offers more dining options per capita than San Francisco.

Restaurants like Eolus and Primus offer dining experiences that rival many “culinary capitals” of the world.
The shopping in Durango is also something not to miss either. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada don’t make an appearance here, and for good reason. The local forward ideals of Durango feature artisan products that easily compete with the upscale brands. Providing closer attention to detail and a more exclusive, limited amount of product runs, meaning you won’t find ten other people with the same outfit as you next time you are in the city.
