Evergreen, Colorado Real Estate and Relocation Information

First established as a supply center for local Ute and Arapahoe Indians in the mid-1800s, Evergreen quickly became a draw for settlers to the Bear Creek Canyon area, now Evergreen’s downtown business district. For years it remained a summer destination for the rich and famous, but after roads opened up the area it became a popular Denver bedroom community just 30 miles west of Denver in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Evergreen as its name suggests, is a sea of spruce, Ponderosa and Scotch pines and other conifers. Lovely homes surrounded by evergreens mark the distinctness of the town. Expansion has extended the area’s reach into the higher mountains where views are majestic. Current population is about 27,000.
