Stanley Heights — Estes Park, Colorado Neighborhood Guide

Serving Larimer County

Stanley Heights climbs the slopes north of downtown Estes Park, looking down over the town and the valley beyond. The neighborhood takes its name from the landmark Stanley Hotel, whose white facade and grand lawn sit at its upper edge; the hotel's grounds, concerts, and famous ghost tours are effectively part of the neighborhood's identity. Housing is a mix of mid-century mountain ranches, contemporary homes, and newer construction, with many properties enjoying wide views of downtown, the golf course, and Longs Peak. Despite its elevated, residential feel, Stanley Heights is only minutes from Elkhorn Avenue's shops and restaurants. The combination of views, proximity to the Stanley, and quiet streets makes this one of Estes Park's most sought-after residential areas.

Stanley Heights is the hillside neighborhood rising above downtown Estes Park toward the historic Stanley Hotel, with mountain-view homes, quiet streets, and easy access to both the hotel grounds and the town core.
