313 Alamosa Ave

Situated between Blanca Peak and the Rio Grande National Forest, Alamosa is a suburban oasis among the pristine wilderness that surrounds it. It’s the last city that visitors to the Great Sand Dunes National Park will pass through on their way up north, and makes for a quaint, small-town setting.

Alamosa combines a charming Main St., plentiful outdoor recreation, and scenic suburban living all along the shores of the Rio Grande. San Luis Valley Brewing and the plethora of Mexican food on offer keeps Main and 6th St. humming, while Cole Park provides stunning views of the mountains to both human and canine residents. Charming bungalows and cottages line the streets, with relatively large lots to enjoy.

Nature is Alamosa’s largest calling card. It’s a fantastic springboard to the outdoor destinations of Colorado, but it’s not isolated. US-160 and I-25 are nearby, so connecting to other cities and up north to Denver is simple.
