Evergreen is a mountain town in the foothills west of Denver, centered on Evergreen Lake, where residents ice skate in winter and paddle in summer. Trails, open space and Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) are close by, and Red Rocks is a short drive away.
Homes range from cabins and cottages to large custom houses, many on wooded acreage and often with wells and septic systems. Downtown has shops, restaurants and a community feel, and the area draws people who want a mountain lifestyle within commuting distance of the metro area.
Good to know
- Wildfire risk, homeowner's insurance and winter driving deserve careful attention.
