KETCHUM
At an elevation of 5,800 feet, this quaint and dynamic town, Ketchum enjoys a permanent resident population of just over 3,500 people. Come summer and winter peak months, that number triples accommodating second homeowners and seasonal tourists.
Located in the Wood River Valley and adjacent to Sun Valley, they both sit in the same valley beneath Bald Mountain, with its world-famous skiing, along with the vision of four other contingent mountain ranges offering amazing panoramic scenery. And, the airport for Ketchum is only 15 minutes away!
A main street with veins of activity stretching east and west, lead to every kind of store, world class restaurant, art gallery, bike shop, ski shop, you name it, and you can find it in Ketchum. A few years ago, the city of Ketchum was ranked #3 in America’s Top 12 Small-Town Art Places. Also, the word is a new Culinary Institute is coming to town soon. And, if you enjoy theatre, this town is stock full of talent and shares exceptional work from four reputable companies, including Shakespeare in the park in the summer. Additionally, there is free music in two different parks, ice cream in the Town Center, major skateboarding areas, the best YMCA in the country and so much more!
Lots of real estate layered throughout, from small to large to very large, in square footage and pricing, depending on your location, proximity to the town and/or the ski mountain. Most homes are no more than five minutes to the entrance of the mountains, for skiing, hiking, or trail riding. This is a community of people who care and have come from all walks of life. No looking back after living in this town!
