Frisco Real Estate

Frisco was founded in 1873 by Henry Recen, the town quickly developed thanks in part to the locale's many mines. By 1882 the permanent population reached 250 with two railroads, many businesses, hotels and saloons, not to mention "loads of mines." The mining boom lasted until 1918.

Along with the rest of the country, Frisco was hit by the Depression; by 1930 Frisco's permanent population had dropped to only 18 people. Frisco was one of the few old mining towns to keep going. Many of the smaller, less accessible mining towns were deserted. Frisco persevered and by 1946 the population had increased to 50.

Today, after visiting Frisco, it's not unusual to find yourself thinking about relocating or making a vacation real estate purchase in Frisco. Many of Frisco's full-time residents, second homeowners and business operators started out as visitors. Besides having easy access to I-70, Frisco is also central to 4 major ski resorts. The lure of the area is not just to ski. Frisco has a quaint main street with unique shops and restaurants, a marina at the edge of Lake Dillon, 50+ miles of bike paths leading in all different mountain directions, parks and many town special events.
