Review of Durango, Colorado


It's not a nice place to live
Star Rating - 3/28/2020
Been in or near durango for 20 years and am stuck here. Can't earn enough to live on, no decent jobs, ridiculously expensive housing, relatively unfriendly, snobbish residents who care about nobody but themselves. Over the years I've seen thousands of people come and go- many leave after their first winter here when they discover that they're expected to show up for work on time when there's been a foot or two of snow overnight. The ones who stay keep to themselves and their little circles. It's very difficult to make meaningful friendships, to find a meaningful job or have a reasonable place to live that doesn't involve driving over 50 miles a day. Stay where you are - you'll be happier in the long run.
