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

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."
