Real Estate of the Summit
Feel free to ask “Why Summit Country?” You just can not imagine how many reasons there are!
Summit County is situated high in the Colorado Rockies. It is well-known as Colorado playground due to the numerous summer and winter outdoor actives that the area provides. The county hosts 4 major ski areas: Keystone, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge. The Summit Country also has 2 reservoirs, Dillon and Green Mountain that adds even more attractiveness to the area. The easiest way to get to Summit County is by I-70, which connects it with Denver. The ski areas in Summit County are located on the western side of the Continental Divide, and can be quickly reached from Denver trough the Eisenhower Tunnel.
As for the cultural life of the Summit Country, it holds dozens of annual festivals. Among those are Breckenridge Art and Music Festivals, Snow Sculpture Championships, Oktoberfest and so on.
So here’s a quick list of the biggest towns in Summit County:
Silverthorne is the major residential town in this area, located mostly just north of I-70 along Highway 9. 80% of Silverthorne housing is occupied by full-time residents unlike the other Summit Country towns. Therefore there are plenty of commodities in the town.
The commercial area of Silverthorne is mostly the stores, boutiques and cafés that draw many tourists. The best thing about Silverthorne is that it is surrounded by Wilderness areas. That provides superb hiking facilities.
The town of Dillon borders Silverthorne a little south of I-70. 75% of the houses are second homes or rental properties. Dillon is actively developing a Main Street area, but the main attraction is incredible Lake Dillon.
Breckenridge is the other big town in Summit County. Having the ski resort right in town, it is quite luxurious and trendy which explains plenty of amenities and tourist’s conveniences.
Keystone and Copper are extremely popular the ski resorts though almost nobody lives there full-time.
