‘When thinking about moving to Steamboat, understanding your family structure, goals, favorite activities and lifestyle are influential in deciding where to live in town. While a small town, Steamboat still has many locations and smaller communities within town that are quite different. If you are a looking for an isolated location where you can get out of bed and walk to your own private fly fishing tail-waters you would probably be looking to live in a different area than a family of four who all love to mountain bike.’
A place still exists where quitting time is sunset, a handshake is a contract and downtown is still your hometown. Steamboat Springs is the kind of place where the snow is measured by the number of fence wires it covers. Where the local high school band marches down main street…on skis. Where the West’s last free flowing tributary still surges through your backyard. Where brown, rainbow and cutthroat aren’t the only things you’re hooked on. Where people shovel their roofs. And, where kids start skiing/riding as soon s they’re old enough to walk.
It’s streets named Deerfoot Avenue, Old Fish Creek Falls Road, Yampa Street and Black Bear Lane. It’s a place that has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in the country, earning it the name Ski Town, U.S.A. And, a place where many had originally planned spending a vacation and ended up spending a lifetime. In this authentic ranching community, they say you can count on two things falling in love with this unique, four season mountain neighborhood and the lightest, driest, fluffiest Champagne Powder snow in the world. More than a dozen high-end developments, mixing residential and commercial, as well as a comprehensive and dynamic streetscape design concepts are bringing renewed vibrancy and invigoration to Old Town Steamboat.
What happens when “elegant comfort” meets “Genuine Colorado”? Where 3,600 vertical feet of fun and 165 trails of adventure ask you to come out and play? Where you’re likely to see Olympians in training, snowboarders in the extreme and toddlers learning to snowplow, all in the same day? With an average of more than 28 feet of its legendary Champagne Powder snow each year, Steamboat has been prime ski territory for over 40 years. That explains why those who know Steamboat well describe this place in just two words: Genuine Colorado.

What it’s like to Live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado?
Living in Steamboat Springs is waking up every morning taking in the stunning views, beauty, culture, fresh mountain air and of course the many exhilarating activities and events that go on daily in Steamboat’s lifestyle. Living here for many of us, is a choice of lifestyle. For each person it is different, but there are many common reasons. The ‘Steamboat lifestyle’ is based on the abundant options we have for recreation, ranging special places like Rabbit Ears Pass, Emerald Mountain, Buff Pass, the Steamboat Ski Area and the local trails that connect us to them.
Most of us are excited to get up with the rise of the sun in effort to not let a ray pass that we are not enjoying; Steamboat gives us this opportunity. There are not many places in the world with an ice-rink, an active rodeo ground, world-class fly-fishing, a beautiful River that flows through our valley and endless single-track right at the edge of of both downtown and the mountain.
“The Steamboat lifestyle is defined by the season. Running shoes are abandoned for skate skis, bike shorts and snow pants trade places in your drawer, and sandals are abandoned for warm, comfortable boots. Until summer comes around again. For you this could mean waking up extra early for a solitary bike-ride up the mountain, getting high enough to enjoy the sun-rise before your quick decent. Or perhaps it is a hike during your lunch break at one of many trails that begin right downtown. With the sentiment, ‘we work to live, not live to work’ shared by many employers throughout town, many will be eager to join you.”
Why Steamboat?
“The friendly community, western heritage, laid back attitude, fantastic ski mountain and hundreds of miles of single-track hiking trails are only a few of the reasons people come to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This town truly does have a unique set of traits that set it apart from anywhere else in the world. And no matter which aspect initially drew you into town, whether the ski mountain or the Friday night rodeos, it is the combination that makes Steamboat what it truly is. And upon discovering this, many of us never want to leave.”
I realize that the community and lifestyle are reasons for making the change to live in Steamboat Springs. And they are the reasons my family and I came here too.
