Some have stated Estes Park Colorado to be the "perfect Colorado". It is enjoyed by people from around the world; time and time again. The town is surrounded by the number one tourist destination in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain National Park, with majestic mountain peaks ranging in elevation from 8,500 feet to over 14,000 feet. This delightful town, at an elevation of 7,522 feet, welcomes visitors of all ages with festivals, such as the Longs Peak Scottish Highland Festival, Rooftop Rodeo, cultural experiences, lush gardens, river walks, bike trails and grassy parks, featuring sculptures of mountain wildlife.

The infamous Stanley Hotel opened in 1909. Many famous people have stayed at the hotel, including John Paul II, who had visited the area in 1993. Also, the Emperor of Japan made time to visit Estes Park in 1994. Interested in great Italian cuisine and a European atmosphere...try the Dunraven Inn.

The Estes Park School System includes the areas of Glen Haven, Pinewood Springs and Allenspark. The town is only a 50 minute drive north from Boulder through Lyons Colorado on US 36.

The Median Annual Family Income is $43,262 (2000) and the Median House Value is $233,900 (2000). New construction of single family homes and condominiums is running rampant now in the summer of 2007. Why not buy a retirement or vacation home by a sparkling stream, in a mountain environment, that will both relax and invigorate you?

The community is making every effort to keep Estes Park as beautful as it always has been. Purchasing Estes Park CO real estate is a great way to personally participate in the conservation of one of the country's most pristine mountain communities and national parks.

One of the chief concerns for anyone buying real estate is whether the area provides the opportunity for growth and success. Whether you are purchasing Estes Park CO real estate for raising a family or for developing a business, you'll quickly find that Estes Park provides a uniquely supportive atmosphere for growth.
