Summit County has become one of the most desirable places to live throughout the state of Colorado. It’s a beautiful area, full of charming mountain neighborhoods, from Trappers Glen to Hamilton Peak, that has a wonderful mix of stunning natural beauty and urban development. Here are some of the best reasons to buy a home and live in Summit County.
First of all, the reason that people come to Breckenridge, Frisco, and the Summit County area is because of the incredible ski resorts in the area. Some of the major resorts are Copper Mountain, Keystone Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort, and Arapahoe Basin. Oftentimes, these resorts are open deep into spring, which means the ski season is very long in Summit County, frequently running from October through June/July. Plus Vail and Beaver Creek are a short drive over Vail Pass.
The best and cheapest thing to do in Summit County happens to be the same thing, and that’s to simply take a hike and enjoy the amazing natural beauty that fills our senses in this part of the state. Striking mountain vistas, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, rock formations, and woodland areas can be found in every direction, whether you're in Peak Ten Bluffs or by Angler Mountain Ranch.
According to a 2014 report by the Journal of the American Medical Association, Summit County has the highest life expectancy in the United States at 86.83 years. There are several factors contributing to this. First of all, Summit County’s population has a relatively high education level and has good access to healthcare. The main factor, though, probably has to do with the high rate of physical activity, due to the many outdoor recreational activities in the area, which also gives Summit County the lowest obesity rate in the country. Clean water and clean air doesn't hurt either!
If you’re a resident of Colorado and into fly fishing, then you’ve no doubt heard of Ten Mile Creek, which runs along I-70 from Copper Mountain all the way to Frisco. It is the perfect place to spend a day fly fishing alone or with family and friends, and is easily accessible. This is just one of the amazing fly fishing spots in Summit County. Blue River is gold ribbon water, the Dillon Reservoir offers fishing from pontoon or sailboats, and the Colorado River is nearby as well.
Lastly, if you want all the benefits of mountain town living, but still want to be somewhat close to a larger city for work and recreation purposes, then Summit County is where you can have your cake and eat it too. A 90-minute drive from the middle of Summit County takes you right into the heart of Denver, or even to Denver International Airport. Denver offers world-class dining, shopping, arts and culture, and major sports franchises including the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Rockies, and the Avalanche hockey team.
"Todd did a great job of showing available properties in our price range and explaining the market to us, but the real work started after we were in contract. They did a phenomenal job of helping us navigate all the obstacles of purchasing an out-of-state home. I can’t thank them enough for their assistance." - Michael Sizelove
'We had the pleasure of working with Todd from the Wolf Team in our purchase of real estate in Frisco. We had tight time constraints and were working from out of state in purchasing a property. Todd did an excellent job objectively assessing our needs for price and value in the area. He went above and beyond to vet numerous properties prior to our arrival. Upon our arrival, we were quickly able to evaluate options and make an informed purchase decision. Todd was more interested in putting our short and long-term needs first before making a quick sale. Todd's follow-up after the sale has also been exceptional. He has made sure all is well after the sale and also let us know his help is available for issues beyond our purchase. I highly recommend Todd and the Wolf Team." - Paul Stewart
"Great team!!! Either Kouri or Todd get back to me as soon as they are by their phone. I always enjoy working with them.!!" - Arnette Schouten
"We entrusted Kouri to handle 3 real estate transactions for us over the past 10 years. She has been in the area since the late 1970s, so she has tremendous familiarity with Summit County properties as they exist today and their history of development. Kouri complements her familiarity with Summit County with great competency that, for us, translated into savings in our pocket. She readily puts her tireless energy at work for her clients, which helped build a long-term relationship with us and repeat business without hesitation. She's the best in Summit County!" -User 0571849 via Zillow.com
"She listed our home. She made several suggestions on changes to be made to our home which would encourage showings. She had multiple showings almost every week. She works with her son, which actually provided us with 2 agents! She kept us updated on sales in the area. She assisted us with finding people to keep the home very presentable, including snow removals, house cleaning services, and watering of flowers." -LCFobes via Zillow.com
"Kouri went above and beyond to help us purchase a home from a thousand miles away, after only one visit to town. She drove us around in the snow and tromped through houses as they were being built and made special Saturday appointments with architects and builders. We are thrilled with Kouri and will definitely be calling her again for any future real estate needs." -BabsWood via Zillow.com
