Where Are The Locals Living?

The Vail Valley is an amazing place to live.? Just ask anyone that has chosen to call this beautiful place home, forsaking their hometowns for powder days.? But the ironic trend here in the valley is that locals are moving west, forsaking ski days for a garage, a backyard, and a bit more square footage.

The red hot real estate market here in Vail is driven by both the second homeowners and the local population.? Eagle and Gypsum had the largest market share of sales in 2006, as long-term locals and new arrivals flock to the neighborhoods of Eagle Ranch, the Bluffs,?Chatfield Corners, and Sky Legend to name a few.

East Vail and Eagle-Vail remain as?two of the true upvalley neighborhoods, comprised of mountain loving locals who prefer the views and close proximity to skiing to a little more space around the house.
