The downtown area of Steamboat is affectionately known as “Old Town” to locals and includes many historic homes, as well as an eclectic mix of quaint, neighborhood charm.  Living in Old Town is truly convenient to walk out your door and within 5 minutes you’re biking or strolling in and out of the shops, restaurants, galleries, or checking out the latest action at the Bud Werner Memorial Library.  Lincoln Avenue (a.k.a. ‘Mainstreet’) is the heart and soul of Steamboat, where you can sip morning coffee with any of the ranchers, skiers, artists and Olympic athletes who call Steamboat their home.  Want to stay outside?  Start your day exploring any of the numerous community parks, go skating at the Olympic sized indoor ice skating rink, attend the Pro Rodeo, or simply hop on your cruiser bike and head for the running path that meanders for miles along the Yampa River.

The real estate offerings in Old Town area include an attractive balance of original and renovated single-family homes surrounded by mature landscaping and quiet streets.  From these comfortable dwellings, residents enjoy close proximity to public schools and Howelsen Hill – the oldest operating ski area in the country and home to more winter Olympians than anywhere else in the United States.

Over the last 5 years, a number of mixed-use developments have sprouted up along Main Street, and here a blend of chic, urban loft style condominiums and townhomes are available to those who prefer lots of action and the convenience of being in the center of town.

Enjoy Life in Steamboat Spring

The open space you’ll find in the downtown area includes water everywhere – starting with the Yampa River running through downtown.  Choose from great hiking spots out your back door, including the Spring Creek trail, Stehley Park with access to Butcherknife Creek, West Lincoln Park and the Botanical Gardens.  Little Toots park is a fantastic place for the kids to play and the Old Town Hot Springs offers swimming, water slides, fitness classes and more.

If easy access to recreation, shopping, and culture is important to you, Old Town is the place that remains the heartbeat of the community, where you can enjoy the local parade, grab a sandwich, or jump in the river all within a 5 minute commute from your home.
