Riverside recreation and natural beauty in Lander
At the base of the Wind River Mountain Range, along the banks of the Popo Agie River, Lander is a rural Wyoming town known for its outdoor recreation and small-town vibes. Main Street is lined with local businesses, from coffee shops to art galleries, while the surrounding aspen and oak-lined streets have charming mid-century homes and spacious lots. “A lot of people that move here are drawn in by the rural atmosphere and all of the nearby fishing and hunting,” says Vicki Hughes, a Realtor with Wyoming Gold Realty who has lived in Lander for over 45 years. “I love the natural beauty here. People fish in the river and from the nearby lakes and we have tons of wildlife. It’s also the kind of town where everybody knows just about everybody and people help each other in times of need. When people get sick, locals rally to raise money to help with hospital bills. And if you ever have a flat tire on the side of the road, you can almost guarantee that someone will pull over to help you within a few minutes.”

Quiet streets and mid-1900s architecture
The community’s residential streets are lined with brick ranch-style homes, log cabins and Colonial Revivals, most of which were built between 1910 and 1970. On the south side, there are a small selection of modern traditional houses built in the 2020s. “The streets here aren’t crowded. You’re spread out and can enjoy the clean and fresh air that you don’t always have in larger communities.” Near the center of town, homes sit on quarter to half-acre lots, with properties on the outskirts of Lander spanning from 1 to 8 acres. Sold prices for homes in Wyoming are not publicly available. Most listings range from $230,000 to $670,000, while larger, 21st-century builds can go for $750,000 to $1.5 million.
