Living near Overend Mountain Park
Crestview offers scenic views of the La Plata Mountains and plenty of recreation for adventures just blocks from downtown Durango. The trails of Overland Mountain Park connect with Perins Peak State Wildlife area, 6.3 miles west of Crestview. “There are so many trails in the neighborhood, and that’s a huge reason we live here,” says Anne Zalbowitz of Keller Williams, who has over two decades of real estate experience and is a Crestview local. “I can walk out my front door, and I’m immediately on a trailhead on the way to a state wildlife area.” Crestview residents are also within walking distance of dining options, schools and the Animas River.
Crestview is a quite community set away from the busy streets such as the route 550.
The Animas Trail system has many bike trails around Durango.

Walking to the Animas River
Overend Mountain Park has over a dozen different trails with varying levels of difficulty for biking, hiking and trail running. Part of the Overend Mountain Park is the Hogsback Trail, a difficult multi-use trail that features a 400-foot climb and 45-degree grade. In addition to mountain trails, Crestview has plenty of other sources of entertainment within walking distance or a short bike ride. “My son is in high school, and he rides his bike to see a movie with his friends or over to the rec center to work out,” says Zalbowitz. The Durango Community Recreation Center has a full floor of fitness equipment, a basketball court and a lap pool. The Gaslight Twin Cinema is a recently renovated two-screen theatre with new releases in downtown Durango. Residents can walk less than half a mile to the Animas River for kayaking and rafting. The Animas River Trail is a 7-mile paved path for runners and cyclists. Along the trail, Schneider Park offers picnic areas and a new pickleball center with seven courts.
Enjoy watching the picklers play round of pickleball at Schneider Park.

Lunch at Tom's Deli and beers at Animas Brewing
Tom’s Deli is a popular lunch spot a few blocks from Crestview. The converted garage features mountain murals above comfortable leather booths where customers enjoy deli classics like the Tomasso Italian sub. Nearby, Taco Libre is known for its giant wrestling ring at the restaurant’s entrance, complete with two life-sized luchadores. Customers gather on the back patio for street tacos and 22-ounce margaritas. The wooden façades of the Animas Brewing Company is reminiscent of being in a ski lodge, and the beers, which have names like Riverside Kolsch and Hogsback Black, pay homage to local outdoor activities. City Market has everyday grocery needs and Natural Grocers stocks organic and locally sourced food. There are plenty of retail outlets just 1.2-miles away on Main Avenue, like Lively and The Sparrow, two boutique clothing stores.

Community support for Durango High School Athletics

Ranch-style homes and condos, tear downs and rebuilds
Houses in Crestview are mainly midcentury bungalows and ranch-style builds. “For the most part, residents look at their homes as very functional and aren’t worried about getting too fancy,” says Zalbowitz. “However, in the past year or two, some houses have been torn down and Craftsman houses built in their place.” Prices for a single-family home range from $625,000 to $1.1 million. Many homes have driveways and one-car garages, so SUVs, boats and campers line the residential roads. Condos have sprung up in the northern end of the neighborhood, costing between $500,000 and $600,000. Modest yards and sidewalks make the neighborhood friendly to pet owners. Durango’s arid climate, combined with Crestview’s proximity to pine forests, make wildfires an issue and insurance necessary.
The average sale price in Crestview is $846,024.
Ranch style homes are abundant around Crestview.
