Welcome to West Vail, CO
The hip and trendy up-and-comer of the Vail Valley area
West Vail is an eclectic residential area with timepiece styles from the ski wave during the ‘60s and ‘70s. West Vail also hosts new duplexes, condominiums, and townhomes, all of which harken back to the familiar cabin-style aesthetic the modern-day adventurer is accustomed to.
This popular residential area has a larger footprint than Vail Village and East Vail and is a wonderful location to appreciate the best the Valley has to offer. West Vail residents soak up the sunshine and alpine scenery on a daily basis. West Vail has convenient access to some of the area’s most enchanting skiing. It’s known as an excellent local place to buy property since daily conveniences are just a stone’s throw away.
