Downtown & Fish Creek

Residents of downtown Steamboat can expect a wide mix of properties from traditional bungalows to stunning new builds with a modern twist. A multitude of pathways link neighborhoods to parks, trails, and open space. Shops, restaurants, and local schools are often within walking distance. The free city bus connects downtown to the mountain area and west side of town. Downtown living is suited to those who enjoy the neighborhood vibe.

 

 The Fish Creek area above downtown has access to great views, hikes, and a central location in between downtown and the mountain. Primarily composed of townhomes, duplexes, and single- family homes, this area is home to many full-time residents. Homes at the upper elevation are a draw for those seeking larger lots and privacy.

There were a total of 61 single family homes sold in 2024, the lowest number in the last decade. However, total dollar volume was the third highest on record. The average price per square foot of single family homes also hit a record high of $862/per square foot. The highest priced single family home sale in 2024 in the Downtown/Fish Creek area was a new construction home at 120 Fox Tail Trail, which sold for $8,799,000.

The number of condo/townhome sales is up slightly from 2023, from 35 to 39 sales. While the number of sales increased 10% year over year, the total dollar volume in sales increased over 20%, indicative of rising prices in the market. Interestingly, the average price per square foot for condos and townhomes declined slightly to $757 per square foot from its 2023 high.
