Wyoming Real Estate - Wide Open Spaces
If you're tired of living in close quarters, Wyoming may be the
answer for you. Wyoming real estate is also appreciating at a
nice pace.
Wyoming
Wyoming is the least populated state in the United States, but
also one of the most beautiful if getting back to nature is your
thing. While the cattle industry dominates the state, you also
find bears, moose and a variety of large beasts roaming freely
in the state. This is particularly true in the two major
national parks located in Wyoming, Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
Jackson Hole
Located in the foothills of Grand Teton lies the valley of
Jackson Hole and the town of Jackson. The town has a suedo Wild
West feel to it, but is heavily populated with the nuevo rich.
Historic facades front trendy boutiques, but the area somehow
manages to maintain a local feel.
If you're an avid skier, Jackson just may be the place for you.
The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is not for the faint of heart.
There aren't really any bunny slopes at this place. Instead, you
have to have a passion for more or less throwing yourself off a
cliff with no parachute!
Laramie
At first, Laramie appears to be a typical cowboy town, but first
appearances are deceiving. Home to the University of Wyoming,
Laramie has a definite college feel with the stereotypical
college lifestyle. The town is located in a prairie setting.
Wyoming Real Estate
Wyoming real estate prices vary wildly depending on the specific
location. Homes in Jackson Hole are going to be pricey with
average prices in the $600,000 range. In contrast, the average
home price in Laramie is roughly $150,000. For the last 12
months, Wyoming real estate has appreciated at a rate of a
little over 11 percent.
If elbow room is critical to your lifestyle, Wyoming definitely
offers plenty of it.
