Edwards

Edwards is a vibrant, growing unincorporated community that offers an authentic mountain lifestyle with modern conveniences and easy access to world-class resorts.

Located along the Eagle River at approximately 7,226 feet elevation, Edwards serves as the largest unincorporated area in the county, with a population of around 10,400–11,000 residents. Positioned strategically about 4–5 miles west of Beaver Creek Resort and 14–15 miles west of Vail, it provides quick commutes to premier skiing while maintaining a more relaxed, locals-oriented atmosphere compared to resort-core towns. The community features a bustling commercial hub with excellent shopping, diverse dining, a movie theater, grocery stores, and the charming Riverwalk area along the Eagle River—complete with walking paths, picnic spots, and riverside appeal.

Edwards excels in year-round outdoor recreation, including hiking and biking on extensive trails, fly fishing in the Eagle River, golf, and proximity to top-tier slopes in winter. Its friendly neighborhoods blend suburban density with open spaces, parks, and a strong sense of community, making it popular among families, professionals, and second-home owners who value balance over ultra-luxury resort intensity.

The real estate market in Edwards offers a diverse selection of single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and modern mountain properties—many with river, mountain, or valley views. With strong demand in the Vail Valley and limited inventory, median home prices typically range from approximately $1.7–$3 million (reflecting recent trends with averages around $1.7 million and median sales often $2.5–$3 million depending on property type), providing excellent value relative to neighboring luxury areas while delivering solid appreciation potential. Ideal for full-time residents seeking community and convenience or investors desiring a prime location in one of Colorado's most desirable mountain regions.
