Durango was founded in 1880 as a railroad and smelting center for the high country mines. Durango is unique, set in a beautiful river valley surrounded by mountains. Today Durango is a vibrant mix of historical architecture, to its charming historic downtown along with intriguing galleries and a fabulous collection of restaurants.
Historic buildings are a prominent link to our past. Historical home shopping in Durango can be as unique as the historical home itself. The architectural styles in the East Third Avenue Historic district vary greatly. Victorian, Classic Cottage, Italianate, Queen Anne, Craftsman, Bungalow, Mission, are some of the styles seen in Durango.

Whether you want to restore a Durango historic home, move into a historic home which has already been restored or some combination thereof, the Durango historical district offers a variety of price ranges, styles, cultures and conditions.
Historic resources are finite and cannot be replaced, making them precious commodities that many buyers seek. Therefore, preservation adds value to private property. Many studies across the nation document that, where historic districts are established, property values typically rise or at least are stabilized.
Property owners within the district know that the time and money they spend on improving their properties will be matched with similar efforts on surrounding lots; these investments will not be under minded by inappropriate construction next door. There are also income tax credits offered at the state and federal levels for appropriate rehabilitation. |

"When I decided Durango was the location for my next business office, I contacted several Realtors to help me find a home/office. Over the years of buying and selling property, I've learned the incredible value of having a good Realtor on my side. Kelly Kniffin was by far and away the most professional and responsive Realtor in the area. She listened to what I wanted and diligently searched for the perfect deal. Now I happily live on 3rd Avenue, having made the best purchase of a lifetime. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone needing a Realtor who is intimately familiar with the area's local market, the economy and the best deals with mortgage lenders. Kelly went the extra mile to serve my needs fairly and enthusiastically. I am grateful for Kelly's continued support in other real estate matters, and to be living in the beautiful community of Durango."
