Horrible place to live 1 rating By Anonymous ( Oct 27, 2021) I've been trying to leave for years but cannot sell the cheapest house in the county, ever. Horrible horrible place to live. Everything about it is awful: the climate is winter about 75% of the time, the people are awful and extremely unfriendly- been here 20 years and have no fr ...Read More iends. Cost of living is exorbitant, decent jobs are non existent. No place to shop. The schools are horrible. The people who run the place are morons. The cops ignore crime and harass people who are obeying the law and refuse to investigate anything unless you provide them with documentation first. I could go on and on but it can be summed up succinctly: there is nothing good except the view (and that only applies for the short time you notice the view when you first come here. After that, it sort of mocks you, like, " ha ha, you moved here for the view and now you know that's all there is." Read Less

Beautiful but Boring 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( Dec 04, 2019) Durango, Colorado has all the mountains cites you can see, has all the parks you need, highest restaurants and weed stores per capital but gets boring kinda quick. The shopping here is not the greatest. Bunch of local shops but most them sell the same thing, bunch of restaurants ...Read More but super over priced for the locals to eat at. Few chained restaurants that are able to be enjoyed but not many. Nightlife here is not really there, few bars are open up at night but just a couple, usually sun down your at home cause of how little there is to do at night (unless you go out to eat but still go home after) Community events are very fun, they have quite a few a year bring the community together. Everyone is friendly. Lots of people are living in such a small space. Read Less

Mountain Living at its Best in Durango, Colorado 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Located in the venerable Rocky Mountains, Durango, Colorado is an outdoor lover's paradise. I love living in Durango because of all the interesting recreational activities it provides both its residents and visitors. Fort Lewis College is a central hub of activity and the lifeblo ...Read More od of Durango's close-knit community. In addition to the college, plentiful job opportunities are found in the area's diverse service industry. The town boasts a diverse climate with four distinct seasons. The charming mountain setting provides a host of fun activities including ziplining, white water river rafting, skiing, and more.

One of the most popular tourist attractions is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, connecting the two idyllic mountain towns. Located just 30 minutes away, the Purgatory Ski Resort features a variety of activities in both the winter and summer. However, the best area of Durango is Main Avenue. This Nationally Registered Historic District offers a myriad of quaint dining and shopping opportunities sure to please any taste. Read Less
