Overview
Once a sleepy stop for travelers along I-70, Edwards has turned into one of the most popular communities in the Vail Valley. It’s proximity to Vail, Avon and Beaver Creek to the east and Eagle and the Eagle County Regional Airport to the west makes its location ideal for locals and second homeowners. The drop in elevation and the widening of the valley allows for warmer temperatures and longer summers and autumns. Edwards boasts some of the Valley’s best restaurants and shopping. The Riverwalk, located on the banks of the Eagle River is a community in itself with a movie theater, restaurants, grocery store, hotel and anything else one might need. Across the street in the Edward Village Center you will find the same experience with a wonderful mix of shopping, dining, and nightlife.
