Sunshine Gardens - Unclaimed

Hermosa, Needleton, Rockwood, Tacoma and Trimble occupy a broad stretch of the Animas River corridor north of Durango, where mountain scenery, pine forests and open valley views shape daily life. The high-elevation climate brings snowy winters, sunny days and cool evenings. Outdoor options include access to the Animas River, nearby trails and public lands; the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad adds a distinctive historic presence along the corridor. Dining, coffee and everyday shopping are more limited and spread out than in central Durango, so a car is useful for errands, restaurants and arts or nightlife downtown. The area’s roads connect the outlying neighborhoods with town, while river and mountain routes offer scenic drives. For ZIP code 81301, the median rent is $2,100 per month, with a typical range of $850 to $5,100.
