Eagle Ranch is a vibrant newer community that expands through the southern side of the Eagle Valley. It offers expansive views of Castle Peak and the Sawatch Mountain Range and a much warmer climate compared to up valley towns. The Eagle Ranch Golf Course, an Arnold Palmer course, runs through the community and the best elementary school in the valley for student test scores and parent participation is Eagle Ranch’s Brush Creek Elementary School. The community sprawls through 145 acres of opens space and playing fields, a community center and playground. Miles of bike and walking paths connect Eagle Ranch to downtown Eagle, the Terrace neighborhood and the surrounding open space.
It’s no wonder the natural course of questioning around here has changed since Eagle Ranch has been built: So when are you getting married? So when are you going to start having children? So when are you moving to Eagle Ranch? We hear it constantly, not just from my in-laws who live in Eagle Ranch. Truth be told, there is a sense of relaxed joy in sitting on my friends’ porches watching the kids ride their bikes up and down the sidewalk then run through the house to the fenced in backyard where the plastic pool awaits. All this for the same price of our Homestead townhouse…it is tempting at times.
The small downtown area offers a perfect amount of options – a coffee shop, a few restaurants, a kids gear shop, a bike store, spa, salon, fitness club and a movie theater. Even our pediatrician (Colorado Mountain Medical) has even moved to Eagle Ranch.
30 minutes to skiing and 10 minutes to the airport, Eagle Ranch has also become popular with second home owners who enjoy easy accessibility. With a multitude of single family homes, both custom and neighborhood planned projects, a few streets of townhouses, condos and duplex homes, Eagle Ranch draws more and more people to this corner of the Vail Valley.
