Housing mix: historic downtown, ranches and acreage homes, cabins toward Yellowstone.
Gateway weather
Cody lies along the Shoshone River at the western edge of the Bighorn Basin, about fifty miles from Yellowstone’s east entrance. Strong downslope winds off the Absaroka Range can gust to damaging speeds, particularly in winter, and summer storms bring hail across the basin. Up the North Fork and South Fork valleys toward Yellowstone, cabins and lodges face heavy snow and wildfire risk.
Western town, rural properties
Cody’s historic downtown and older neighborhoods include early-1900s buildings and homes, while newer subdivisions, ranches and acreage homes spread across the surrounding benches. Nearby Powell adds farm country housing. Many properties include shops, barns and guest cabins.
