📍Before I dive in—something funny (and a little embarrassing)… This video was from last night. My husband and I were talking through a group ride up the GoPro mountain bike race track at Golden Peak. I was nervous… and made it 200 yards up a steep climb before turning around.😞Meanwhile, my 60-year-old husband crushed all 8 miles with a 1500 ft climb(Strava), flipped over his handlebars (he’s fine!), and kept going. 💪🏼
Now—back to the post…
👉 If we were relocating to Colorado today, we’d still choose Eagle. We absolutely love living here! But I can see why people look at other Vail Valley towns like Edwards or Avon etc — each one offers something different.
👉It really comes down to your lifestyle. Do you want to be near the slopes with walk-to-lift access and a buzzing resort feel? Or do you want more space, a quieter pace, and a bit more affordability down valley—while still being just a short drive to the mountain?
👉We don’t mind driving 25-30 minutes instead of 2.5+ from Denver and very rarely is there traffic going east from Eagle to Vail. We are just very happy to be able to live in such an amazing place. 💥
Thinking about buying? Comment “guide” and I’ll send you my free relocation breakdown from Vail to Gypsum.
