Durango real estate in Durango Colorado with Katie Ogier The Wells Group of Durango

It’s not until you experience the community for yourself that you truly get a flavor of the Durango lifestyle and all it has to offer. You’ll see: “It’s a real town, a real community”. Durango is home to Fort Lewis College, a four year liberal arts college, which nourishes the community’s intellect and entertainment at its world class concert hall. Students at the area’s public schools score above average on state and national tests. We are home to Mercy Regional Medical Center, a full service hospital serving the needs of four corners residents.

We enjoy over 300 days of sunshine and four distinct seasons of entertainment and activities. For instance, you can choose to ride The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge trains, hike the San Juan’s, explore the ruins of nearby Mesa Verde, raft the Animas River, mountain bike or ski at Durango Mountain Resort. Restaurants, art galleries, and street music make up a vital part of a lively downtown filled with year round festivals and special events.

Durango receives more than its fair share of media attention. Many commentators and articles have extolled the virtues and attractions of Southwest Colorado. Phrases like “best place to retire”, “best place to raise children”, “best resort value west”, and “mountain bike capital of the world” are just a few that describe the mix of beauty, tranquility, and vibrancy that describes our lifestyle.
