Morrison, Colorado Real Estate and Relocation Information

Bear Creek flows through the charming town which got its start in 1872 when the Denver and South Park Railway opened service. Originally planned as a route from the Platte River to Southpark, a more favorable passageway left the town as the last stop for the train. Since that early beginning several floods threatened the town, but it has survived as a charming mountain town close enough to Denver to commute. Morrison’s population is under 500, and homes are scarce and prices high.
