| December 07, 2009 | | Grand County offers reasonably priced ski condos | When thinking of ski resort second homes in Colorado, it is easy to overlook Grand County. However, you might be doing your budget a disservice when you do so. Condos at the Winter Park ski resort are reasonably priced, when you compare them to other places in Colorado, reports USA Today:
The bigger change is the new pedestrian base village, with condo
hotels, restaurants and shops. Now Winter Park — which had only 230
condos in 2000 — has base-area condos for sale, and more on the way, at
prices lower than most Western competitors. The average home price of
$450,000 in Grand County
is nearly half of nearby Summit County (where Breckenridge, Copper and
Keystone are located) and even less compared with Eagle (home to
upscale Vail, Beaver Creek).
While it may be tempting to buy a second home in Eagle County or Summit County, it might be worth it to check Grand County first.
