TOWN OF TELLURIDE

Surrounded by the majestic, 13,000+ft peaks of the San Juan Mountains, the over a century-old Town of Telluride is just six blocks wide and twelve blocks long. Unlike most small towns, it has a distinctly cosmopolitan quality due to its sophisticated cultural tastes, exceptional schools and unlimited opportunities to experience a world beyond the ordinary. However, true to small town life, the pace is relaxed, the consciousness of preservation is strong and folks remember your name. In 1964, Telluride was designated as a National Historic Landmark District. As a result, historic buildings must retain their Victorian character. A free gondola provides transportation between Telluride, Mountain Village, and the world-class ski resort for skiers & pedestrians alike.
Gondola Corridor
The gondola corridor is located in the heart of Telluride’s historic district and offers a nice mix of Victorian-style homes, modern condos, and a few select hotel properties. This neighborhood affords easy ski access and proximity to downtown restaurants, shopping and nightlife, as well as the complimentary Telluride gondola.
West End – Lift 7 Area
The greatest concentration of Telluride condos are located next to Lift 7 and along the San Miguel River; they offer lower price points coupled with convenient ski access. Zoned for short term rentals, this area allows owners to recoup some investment costs when they aren’t using their property.
East End
This sunny side neighborhood is close to Town Park, where all Telluride’s signature music festivals are held. Many of the residences enjoy iconic views of the Box Canyon in a refined residential setting. Idarado Legacy is an exclusive community just a few minutes east of downtown and offers some of the most dramatic views in the area.
Just Outside of Town
Heading west out of Telluride; Eider Creek, Hillside, & Lawson Hill offer more affordable real estate opportunities, including deed-restricted options.
