Evergreen – an Artisan Haven in the Rocky Mountains

Homes for sale in Evergreen are in an idyllic mountain town less than thirty miles from Denver. It is surrounded by such stunning natural beauty, you would think it was formed by an artist’s hand. Large populations of old-growth trees and conifers along with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains serve as a backdrop for a thriving arts scene usually only seen in larger cities. It is no wonder so many choose to call this creative community home.

Art

Evergreen’s historic downtown is a compact but lively destination boasting irresistible fine art galleries, quirky cafes, and lots of character. You will want to take your time browsing through the Shadow Mountain Gallery where local artists gather to showcase their talents. It is a treasure-filled harbor of handcrafted inspiration and you will likely not leave empty-handed.

Wander over to the landmark Evergreen Crafters for a unique shopping experience. The colorful store is known for its friendly service and one-of-a-kind inventory celebrating Colorado jewelers and creatives. It’s the perfect choice for thoughtful gift-buying. The Evergreen Arts Association sponsors the Evergreen Fine Arts Festival each summer and offers scholarships to promising young artists in the community.

Entertainment

Evergreen may be a small town but it has a big heart when it comes to entertainment. You will want to check out the Evergreen Players who share Center Stage with the Evergreen Chorale. It is an animated group of performers and improv comedy geniuses offering an uncommon night out on the town. Acting and improv classes are available for those who want to participate.
