Often referred to as Old Town, the area has become one of the more desirable neighborhoods in Steamboat Springs. Old Town is a mix of modest bungalows and cottages that are being replaced with new homes as the older ones become run down and snapped up for remodel or scrape and rebuild. Lots tent to be smaller and unless fortunate enough to have a “double lot” the houses can be close to one another. Families and young professionals are mostly drawn to the area and a sense of community exists among them.
