Mountain living without the mountain remoteness

Though it’s perched atop a mountain ridge, the Floyd Hill neighborhood is also just off Interstate 70, appealing to those who want the best of mountain life and easy access to Denver and other urban amenities. “It’s a little bit farther out than some nearby neighborhoods in Evergreen, but it’s still really convenient for commuters thanks to I-70,” says Mary Rosinski, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and longtime resident of the area. “It’s not as quiet or secluded, but that’s part of why a lot of people really like it.”

Traditional mountain homes and mountain contemporary estates

Floyd Hill styles range from rustic cabin-inspired homes to modern mountain contemporary estates, often featuring wrap-around decks and ceiling-high windows that let residents take in the beauty of the mountain all day. “You have mountain range views on one side and Continental Divide views on the other,” Rosinski says. “And even with it being a bit farther out, you still have county-maintained roads, so it’s great for people that want to be in the mountains without feeling like they have to deal with everything that comes with that.” Lot sizes are typically larger than what can be found in more urban areas, giving homeowners a sense of seclusion. Prices generally range from $450,000 to $750,000 for more traditional homes. In contrast, larger mountain estates – often custom-built and on significant acreage – can range from just under $1 million to over $2 million.

I-70 makes for convenient travel

Thanks to Floyd Hill’s proximity to I-70, those needing to commute to Denver or any nearby mountain destinations can look forward to relatively simple commutes – something that’s particularly appealing given the area’s lack of public transportation options. Depending on traffic, drivers can expect to be in the Mile High City in around 45 minutes. Weather conditions also affect commute times, a fact that residents have to pay particular attention to during winter snowfalls. The Denver International Airport is approximately 50 miles east of the neighborhood.

Unique local shops and eateries and other nearby retail

Though the seclusion of mountain living is one aspect that makes Floyd Hill appealing to many, the area is still close enough to necessities that residents don’t have to venture into Denver for basic shopping and dining. Evergreen, about 10 miles south, is home to go-to grocery spots like King Soopers and Natural Grocers. Evergreen’s downtown area features many unique shops specializing in mountain apparel and locally crafted artisan goods, such as the Evergreen Clothing and Mercantile.
