Newer homes near Mercy Hospital
Three Springs is a growing master-planned community with close access to CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital, 7 miles south of downtown Durango. Living in Three Springs is all about the lifestyle. Casual restaurants and business offices operate out of its newly built commercial buildings, musicians play at the outdoor Three Springs Plaza weekly in the summertime, and walking and biking trails connect to the larger Durango trail system. “The community does a lot to bring people together with Halloween parades, Easter egg hunts and summer movie nights in the park,” says Deven Meininger of The Wells Group of Durango, who has over 100 closed sales over a decade in Durango. “As Durango continues to expand, it’s growing to the south, so this is where people want to be.” By the time it’s completed, Three Springs will have a planned 2,000 homes and more than 300,000-square-feet of commercial space. Many homes are within a five-minute drive of Mercy Hospital, an 82-bed acute-care hospital founded in 1882. “It’s not just medical professionals, but I have had a lot of clients that are interested in being close to the hospital,” says Meininger.

Modern Craftsman homes and townhouses
Three Springs is a planned community, but no two homes look alike. The Craftsman builds have a modern vibe with slanted roofs, stone detailing and open floor plans. Most homes have private driveways and multicar garages, plus enclosed backyards and sidewalks, making it easy to get around. Single-family homes in the neighborhood cost between $550,000 and $950,000, while townhouses are in the $500,000 to $700,00 range. “Prices are going up, but you can still get in and see appreciation on your investment,” says Meininger. Homeowners may experience some highway noise on the southern end of the neighborhood near Route 160, but the northern end of the neighborhood is quiet. Because of the area’s climate and elevation, wildfire insurance is necessary.
