The Wellington Neighborhood

Description

Discover the visionary Wellington Neighborhood, a unique community in Breckenridge, Colorado, thoughtfully created in 1999 by architects and planners embracing the principles of New Urbanism. Through collaborative efforts with the B&B Mining Company, this innovative neighborhood transformed historic mining land, implementing significant environmental improvements that enhanced French Creek into a thriving habitat for both wildlife and residents.

Where dredge tailings once remained from the historic Wellington Mine, a major ore producer in the region, a dedicated team of architects and developers built the distinctive Wellington homes for sale. These residences are thoughtfully designed, artfully blending Victorian architectural details and scale with the pedestrian-friendly layout and community-focused principles of New Urbanism.

Living in Wellington offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern sustainability. Residents enjoy walkable streets, front porches fostering neighborly connections, and easy access to green spaces and the restored French Creek. The neighborhood’s design encourages a strong sense of community while being conveniently located near the heart of Breckenridge, with its world-class skiing, dining, and cultural attractions just a short stroll or bike ride away.
