Steamboat 700 is a part of the West Steamboat Springs planning area, which has long been viewed as the area for Steamboat’s future growth into a mixed-use, master planned community. Historically a working ranch and farm, the property offers stunning views of Mt. Werner and the Yampa Valley. Check back soon for a more detailed history of the area.

Steamboat West’s future
"Due to a variety of factors, the West of Steamboat Springs area is the only remaining area suitable for higher density residential growth in the Steamboat Springs vicinity. If residential growth cannot occur within the Steamboat Springs urban area, it will likely be forced to outlying areas such as Oak Creek,Stagecoach, Hayden and Craig. This will result in increased commuting time, road and infrastructure costs, traffic impacts, split family life and other social costs, and higher costs of recruiting a work force for Steamboat Springs businesses. As a result, in 1995 the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan comprehensive plan) designated the West of Steamboat Springs area for future urban growth and affordable housing, and recommended that a more detailed plan be prepared for this area."
