Avon is located along the scenic Eagle River and is known as the “Heart of the Valley” for its central location and strong sense of community. In its early days, the area was inhabited by the Ute Indians, who called it “the shining mountains.” With just over 6,000 full-time residents, Avon offers easy access to Vail, Beaver Creek, and Edwards.
Best known as the gateway to Beaver Creek Resort, Avon has grown into a vibrant town with arts, culture, and year-round events. Harry A. Nottingham Park hosts favorites like Salute to the USA, the largest fireworks display in the Rockies, as well as food and music festivals, while the pedestrian-friendly core features public art and gathering spaces.
Outdoor recreation is always close—skiing via the Riverfront Express Gondola or Beaver Creek base, plus biking and fishing along the Eagle River. Avon also offers a wide variety of dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences.
Above town, Wildridge offers elevated living with sweeping views of Beaver Creek and some of Avon’s most desirable homes.
