You’ll be staying in South Main River Park, a New Urbanist community being built on the Arkansas River in the town of Buena Vista. If your priorities are 1) convenient access to the area’s many recreational activities, 2) a beautiful location at 3) an affordable price, our apartment may be just what you're looking for.

You can launch a kayak, hop on a mountain bike or wear out your hiking shoes by just stepping out the front door. Just steps to the South Main whitewater launch area, kayak play hole and Whitewater and Arkansas River Trails at this affordable rate. These trails are tied to the Barbara Whipple Trail, Midland Bike Trail and Four Mile Travel Management Area. 175,000 acres of wilderness and BLM lands are your backyard. A skate park, pump track, and several playgrounds are just a few blocks away.

Shopping, restaurants, equipment rentals, drive-in theatre, Community Center, museum, town library and other amenities are within easy walking distance. The Eddyline Brewery and Restaurant is at the other end of our block. After a hard day of recreating you can either sit down for beer and fire baked pizza or you can sit in your own courtyard and watch the sunset over Mt. Princeton and the Continental Divide. Don't forget to drop by the Midland Stop for a cup of coffee and delicious gelato! Enjoy watching the kayakers and rafters running the rapids or bikers, hikers and rock climbers ascending 9600 foot Midland Hill on the other side of the river from South Main's 'Living Room Without Walls'. During summer evenings head on over to Music on the Beach, a place where you can enjoy free live music (TBD by covid restrictions).

South Main architectural standards are creating an authentic traditional neighborhood. High quality public space is designed for walking and creating community. You will be staying on the first floor of a 3-story classical style stone and stucco building. The apartment’s spacious living area and separate bedroom will sleep four easo;y. An open kitchen and dining area bring the total floor space to about 850 sq.ft. Entry is through a courtyard and large porch on the west side of the building. There is a good view toward 14,000+ foot Mt. Princeton and the Continental Divide, but none toward the River. The courtyard provides a private place for dining and socializing away from Main Street and the public square. The covered porch offers shelter and shade. Priced at less than the best hotel in town, we want to build a loyal core of vacationing guests who share our joy of living here. Our apartment is clean, homey and affordable, but not luxury living.

PLEASE NOTE: The apartment is below the main house. We have 3 young children who are home most days, but in bed on the upper floors around 7:30pm. Because of the nature of the building, you will hear typical noises of people living upstairs.
