Living on the Animas River
Riverview is a quiet and accessible neighborhood near many of Durango’s biggest draws. “It feels the most like the Durango of 10 or 15 years ago,” says Anne Zalbowitz of Keller Williams, who has over two decades of experience in the area. “You don’t have the massive new builds that are higher in the mountains, and you don’t have all the traffic on Main.” The neighborhood is located between busy Florida Road, which is full of dining options and the Animas River and its accompanying trail with 7 miles of paved running and biking pathways.
The average lot size in Riverview is 10,000SF.
The Animas River Trail runs through Riverview.

Chapman Hill Ski Area, Hillcrest Golf Club and more
Folsom Park is in the heart of the neighborhood and offers a baseball field, basketball hoops and playgrounds for children. When locals want to ski but don’t want to drive far, they head to Chapman Hill Ice Rink and Ski Area. The one-slope ski mountain produces artificial snow to ensure conditions are always right. The complex also has ice and roller rinks with skating lessons and hockey leagues. The Hillcrest Golf Club is the only public course in Durango. The 18-hole course has views of the La Plata Mountains, a driving range and a full pro shop. Residents can visit the Durango Botanical Gardens, surrounding the Durango Public Library, for an afternoon picnic.
You can find sports events at Folsom Park.
Chapman Hill features seasonal ice skating and Ski hill.

Mid-century and Craftsman homes
Most homes in Riverview are mid-century ranch-style builds with a few updated Craftsman homes. Houses cost between $600,000 and $900,000, and many come with private driveways and attached garages. Many houses feature modest front and back yards and are on lots close to their neighbors. Over the past few years, apartments and condos have sprung up in Riverview. “Some residents, especially the locals in the service industry, were being priced out of Durango, and this provides another option,” says Zalbowitz. Two-bedroom condos are priced between $400,000 and $500,000. Durango’s dry summers and plentiful pines make the area susceptible to wildfires, so insurance is necessary.
