The small and rather secluded city of Durango is one of Colorado’s most picturesque locations, a charming community surrounded by the stunning natural landscape of the state’s southwest corner. Built along the Animas River as it flows out of the Rocky Mountains, Durango offers residents amazing scenery as well as terrific opportunities to spend quality time outdoors.
Bike trails, walking paths, and public parks fill the city proper, while the surrounding mountains and forests are great for hiking, camping, biking, and skiing. Downtown is loaded with a terrific collective of unique restaurants, taverns, specialty shops, and art galleries occupying beautiful historic buildings. The diverse rental market features an array of upscale apartments, condos, and single-family homes, allowing you to find the perfect place to fit your lifestyle.

GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
