Homes in Vail Village come in all shapes and sizes, and price tags that match the diversity of full- and part-time residents. While Vail may lack the Hollywood stars and sports idols, there are plenty of heavy hitters that put down serious cash to buy lavish real estate in Vail Village.

This neighborhood is the most alluring and sought-after since it’s smack dab in the middle of the town. Condos are typically the easiest and least expensive to purchase, and are usually within walking distance to Vail’s many amenities or, at the least, an easy walk to the free bus service. But it’s the single-family homes that draw the attention and sky-high prices.

If you are looking for a luxury single-family home with easy access to skiing, look no further than Vail Village. Homes on Beaver Dam, Forest and Rockledge Roads luxuriate in the title of “premier addresses” in Vail. These are the tippy top properties in the Vail Valley, ranging from classic mountain chalet to ultra-modern architecture. The tiny enclave of homes on Mill Creek Road near the base of Golden Peak also tip the scales of pricey real estate in town and offers true ski-in, ski-out experience, and superb location.

Despite the focus on the mansions and pricey homes in Vail Village, interestingly enough you can still find moderately priced condos in the area and many choose to rent them out when they aren’t in use. The owners of these units usually enjoy easy access into the village and many amenities like a pool or hot tub.

People fortunate enough to own a home in Vail Village have the best of all worlds: easy access to the ski lifts, walking distance to exceptional restaurants, shopping at high-end boutiques and a bevy of outdoor activities. Most people agree there is no better place to be.
