Area Guide
Downtown Steamboat
STEAMBOAT PILOT & TODAY
Downtown Steamboat Springs is only about 12 blocks long, but it has just about everything a town could possibly offer.
Spread around this area are a river, a ski hill, baseball fields, a skate park, a college, a rodeo ring, an indoor ice rink, a library, a movie theater, bus stops for the town's free bus, restaurants and bars that have live entertainment, parks, churches, a railroad, an art gallery, a bike path and cute shops that sell paintings and clothes and ice cream.
It isn't surprising that living downtown offers the type of lifestyle that many residents want.
Marie Dailey has lived in a house downtown for more than 20 years. She loves the location because it's convenient, especially for her 12-year old daughter.
"She can walk downtown," Dailey said about her daughter. "It's safe and it's really close to schools."
Dailey said she also loves her location because it's easy to be a part of anything going on in town, from parades and festivals and rodeos, to art shows and marathons and concerts. Living downtown means it's even possible to watch an event for a few minutes, and then take a casual stroll by the river and do a little shopping before calling it a night.
"There's a sense of history here, and a community feel," Dailey said. "Your neighbors are close and you know them."
