Communities In Summit County

Also a historic mining town, Frisco has a quaint Main Street with shopping and restaurants. From Main Street there is free bus access directly to both Breckenridge and Copper. Although it is not next to a ski area, Frisco has remained very popular due to its central location within the county and its reputation as not being as big and busy as Breckenridge.

Keystone has also grown and improved over the years to become the third-most visited ski resort in North America. There are several distinct areas within the resort with different aspects and ages, all either walking distance to the lifts or served by the free shuttle to the slopes. Keystone has excellent year-round activities with almost as many skiers per year as Breckenridge. With a smaller rental pool and lower prices, Keystone offers great rental potential for the price.

Nestled between the Gore and Williams Fork Ranges, Silverthorne homes often have fantastic views. Although not as “walkable” a town as the others, this is a central location with a wide variety of properties ranging from very affordable condos to luxurious ranches and golf course homes. Many new construction projects are happening in Silverthorne making it a good investment with upside potential in the future. Wildernest, a community in Silverthorne, offers the most affordable housing options with a large variety of product types, but mostly condos, on the free bus route. North of town towards Kremmling is a great area for open spaces and large acreage properties.
