Forest Groves

Homes for sale in Forest Groves, Durango CO feature properties in a quiet, low-traffic single-family community on the Florida River, originally developed from a 1950s-60s summer camp called Camp Silver Spruce that straddled both sides of the river including Treasure Island for picnicking. This unique community showcases homes ranging from 1,024 to 3,254 square feet on lots from half an acre to a couple acres among big tall spruce trees, with fishing rights along the river easement and comprehensive HOA services. The subdivision provides monthly HOA dues of $125 covering water, sewer, snow removal, fishing rights, and gravel road maintenance, with a mix of older camp properties from the 50s-60s and year-round homes added since the 1980s. Located 23 minutes from downtown Durango with predominantly flat terrain except for High Trails Road climbing the mountainside for valley views, Forest Groves attracts buyers seeking affordable riverfront living in the $200,000-$350,000 range with the charm of a former summer camp and convenient access to Lemon and Vallecito reservoirs.
