About half the people live in the incorporated towns, with most of the rest leading a modern rural life-style within ten minutes of the towns. As in any community, costs vary between neighborhoods depending on size, age, amount of land, condition, and the amenities included. Most rural housing areas have good access to utilities, schools, medical care, fire and police protection, and are located on well-maintained county roads. Though you can have the solitude of an isolated mountain cabin, or the economy of a multi-family town house, the vast majority of the area housing is standard single family homes. Many people enjoy the option of building their own home and there are several good home-builders and other contractors in the area.
Rental housing is very scarce, especially single family housing.
More multi-family rental housing is expected to be developed in the near future. Please refer to information regarding utilities and property taxes in Montezuma County. For assistance in finding a suitable house consider contacting one of our area Realtors.
