But with just 61 units for sale, only a small group of residents will end up with a home. Plus, Summit County is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service on a ‘first-of-its-kind' housing development that’s been 60 years in the making.

Despite its size, preserving the past is a priority for Breckenridge—the town has 249 Historic District structures and seven historical exhibits and museums. Preservation also is an important part of the town’s plan to curb the housing crisis, now and in the future. One initiative is called Housing Helps, which helped locals Anne and John Lowe buy their dream home. But the town's housing initiatives might not work for everyone.
