You love Vail’s powder days, but you also need an easy Tuesday. If you want short drives to the slopes plus schools, grocery runs, doctors, and trails close to home, Edwards and nearby Singletree check the boxes. Here, you get a true community rhythm with everyday services and year-round recreation, without living in a resort village. In this guide, you’ll see how the neighborhoods work for daily life, what amenities stand out, and how they compare to Vail Village and Beaver Creek. Let’s dive in.
Edwards is the Vail Valley’s residential and commercial hub. The walkable Riverwalk district gives you shops, a grocery, restaurants, services, and a movie theater in one compact area. You can grab dinner on the river, catch a film, and pick up staples on the way home. It is the kind of everyday convenience that supports full-time living.
The community is sizable by local standards. According to the 2020 Census, the Edwards CDP recorded 11,246 residents, signaling a stable, year-round population. That scale shows up in the mix of neighborhoods, parks, and institutions around town.
The Riverwalk district concentrates weekly needs into one walkable place. Browse boutiques, schedule a haircut, and stock up at the grocery, all in a few blocks. Explore the current mix of merchants using the Riverwalk at Edwards directory.
Edwards is built for daily life, not just vacations. Local descriptions highlight a range of housing types, parks, and community facilities, plus a riverfront amphitheater that hosts seasonal events. The Edwards neighborhoods page is a helpful snapshot of how the town is laid out.
You can live a few minutes from the action and still sleep away from the resort bustle. Under typical conditions, Beaver Creek and Vail are both in the local 10–20 minute drive range from Edwards. The town is also connected by regional bus service and a paved multi-use trail network that links to Avon, Beaver Creek, and Vail. For maps, distances, and transit context, see the Edwards Transportation Master Plan.
Public schools that serve Edwards include Edwards Elementary, Berry Creek Middle School, and Battle Mountain High School within the Eagle County School District. Families also find charter and private options nearby, plus local post-secondary classes through Colorado Mountain College’s Vail Valley campus. For an overview of nearby schools and community layout, start with the Edwards neighborhoods page, and see more about the local college at Colorado Mountain College Vail Valley.
Access to care is a practical must for year-round residents. Vail Health operates a substantial Edwards campus that offers medical and surgical services, oncology, and outpatient behavioral health resources. Review current services and specialties on the Vail Health Edwards campus page.
Edwards gives you outdoor access when the weather is perfect and strong indoor options when it is not. The Mountain Recreation Field House near Battle Mountain High School offers indoor sports courts, climbing, training spaces, and youth programming, making it a go-to in winter and shoulder seasons. Learn more about programs and facilities through the Mountain Recreation Field House overview.
Outside, you can jump on the paved Eagle Valley (ECO) Trail that runs through town, bike or jog along the river corridor, and access parks and athletic fields at Freedom Park. Riverwalk’s setting along the Eagle River creates easy places to stroll, fish, or enjoy summer events by the water.
Just across Highway 6 from Riverwalk, Singletree is one of the valley’s largest residential neighborhoods. Community sources describe nearly 1,000 homes across single-family, duplex, townhome, and condo options. The area was planned with pocket parks, open space, and trail access that make day-to-day outdoor time simple. Explore neighborhood details at the Singletree community site.
Singletree sits on an open, sunny hillside with trail connections on multiple sides. Residents often describe the neighborhood’s “sunbelt” feel, plus quick links to nearby public lands. The result is a convenient base for daily hikes, dog walks, and after-work rides.
Within and adjacent to Singletree, the Sonnenalp Club provides golf, fitness, and dining that many residents enjoy year-round. Membership details and amenities are listed on the Sonnenalp Club site. Paired with neighborhood parks and the paved valley trail below, it creates a full spectrum of recreation options minutes from home.
Vail Village and Beaver Creek are designed around visitor experiences with ski-in/ski-out lodging, dining, and boutique retail. Edwards and Singletree are organized for daily living, with schools, grocery, health care, and community recreation at the center. If you want space for gear, easy school runs, and a short trip to the store, these neighborhoods deliver that practicality while keeping the resorts close by.
Housing numbers vary by source and what they measure. The 2019–2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimate lists the median owner-occupied value in Edwards near 747,700 dollars, which reflects owner-occupied properties across that period. See baseline community data on U.S. Census QuickFacts for Edwards. By contrast, Zillow’s Home Value Index has shown a much higher “typical home value” for Edwards in early 2026 at around 1.7 million dollars. These are different metrics measured in different ways, so it helps to look at both when framing expectations.
