Vail Valley at Edwards Housing

Edwards and the surrounding Vail Valley have many options for long-term rentals, though you should anticipate higher rents than what you’d find in an urban Colorado setting like Denver. This campus does not have residence halls, so students usually rent nearby apartments, condos or employee housing throughout Eagle County.

Students often live with roommates to make things more affordable. Those who start in the Fall Semester typically have an easier time finding housing than those who start school in the middle of the ski season (Spring Semester).

It's best to find something near campus, but you may need to extend your search to nearby communities including: Avon, Eagle, Minturn, Vail, and Gypsum.

Ski Resort Housing

In general, if you are looking to work while going to school, many of the resorts in the area offer employee housing. Employee housing is often subsidized by the resorts, allowing you to live, work, learn, and play in the Vail Valley, affordably.
