Why Live in Upper Bear Creek
Before the turn of the 20th century, Upper Bear Creek made up what existed of Evergreen, a larger unincorporated area more than 20 miles outside of Denver. Many say the mountain community was considered the “Aspen” of the time due to its impressive scenery and resorts. Upper Bear Creek brought in new residents but also caught the eyes of vacationing movie stars and celebrities. Today, this rural but upscale community remains a sought-after getaway.
Pines, spruces and aspens blanket the surrounding hills, while the eponymous creek brings plenty of trout fishing opportunities. “In the summer, it’s a nice cool area. In the winter, it’s actually breathtaking when the river starts to freeze over, and there’s snow on the boulders and trees. It’s definitely an area people drive through just to look at the homes and the river,” says Clare Day, a Realtor with Compass. Schaunon Winter, a Realtor with the Broker Direct Company, echoes her peers’ descriptions of Upper Bear Creek. “It’s on a creek, it has views of Mount Blue Sky … and the homes are generally luxurious homes. It’s just a really beautiful area,” Winter says.
