Living near Main Avenue
So Co, the downtown Durango neighborhood south of College Drive is within steps of fine dining establishments, and recreation. “It’s pretty rare to find a neighborhood that has such easy access to the restaurant and shopping options, the riverfront and the mountain trails that So Co does,” says Monique Flora of Wells Group of Durango, who has nearly a decade of experience in the city. “Main Avenue runs through the neighborhood and that’s not just the food capital of Durango, but it’s the food capital of Southwest Colorado.” Main is home to dozens of restaurants ranging from Asian fusion to American steakhouses to French bistros. Locals can also pop into one of the four breweries and two wineries along the road. The Animas River is nearby for whitewater rafting, fishing and swimming, and the 7-mile Animas River Trail is a paved path popular with runners and cyclists.
So Co is a busy neighborhood in downtown Durango, home to the town’s retail & restaurant scene.
Residents can enjoy a stroll along Main Ave for plenty of shopping and dinning options.

Dining at Roost and Rupert's
Anarchy Brewing Company has six rotating draft beers and allows pets in its taproom inside a converted garage. Locals can lock their bikes at the racks outside and bring a lunch as Anarchy allows outside food, while enjoying views of the La Plata Mountains. Rupert’s Durango is a quirky breakfast spot with vintage toasters hanging from brightly painted walls. Diners can try the spicy Southwest portion of the menu with huevos rancheros and deluxe breakfast burritos. The Roost has a hip vibe with guitars and music posters on the walls and serves American classics like steak and shrimp plates in a brick building from the 1850s. For happy hour, Four Leaves Winery has daily tastings in its rustic setting with wooden tables and local paintings on the walls. The Natural Foods Co-op has groceries, smoothies and sandwiches, and Main Avenue has retail stores like 2nd Ave Sports, an outdoor sports shop and Overland, which offers heavy coats and cowboy boots.

Ranch-style homes with small yards
Architectural styles vary in So Co, from mid-century ranches and bungalows to newer Craftsman houses. “You can have a brand-new build surrounded by homes from the 1950s that need a ton of renovations,” says Flora. “There are fewer Victorians than in the Grid, which helps with price point.” Single-family homes cost between $630,000 and $950,000. A handful of condos and townhouses exist here costing between $260,000 and $650,000. Most homes don’t have driveways, so street parking is necessary. “Everyone has dogs, so having a yard is huge,” says Flora. Paved sidewalks are shaded by mature pines. Proximity to the river and Durango’s arid climate make flood and wildfire insurance necessary.
Homes in So Co are mostly a mix of mid-century ranches and bungalows.
This shotgun home, like many others, has been updated and renovated.
