Housing in Vail (apartment complexes, rentals, price)

[shadowphreak]

Hello I am moving to Vail in November with 2 other room mates and we are looking for housing. Any suggestions of apartment complexes in Vail? It needs to be close enough to the free bus stops as we will all be ski/snowboard instructors at the mountain. So far the only complex ive found is Middle Creek Thanks!

Best ways to find rentals in Vail:

1) ads in "the Vail Trail" or "The Vail Daily" for rentals

2) contact the property management/realty companies directly in Vail. Many out of the area property owners depend upon local Vail management companies to act as their agents for long term rentals (6 months + term).

Best to be locating housing right now, as the seasonal rental market for this type of housing will be pretty much rented out by September ... or, at least, the "best deals" will be.

As long as you're looking at housing in the East Vail through West Vail corridor, you'll have good bus stop access anywhere, so no worries there. For the most part, the housing directly adjacent to a bus stop will be higher priced (and noisy) because of the convenience for short term rentals/tourists. So your better "deal" on housing might be a few minutes walk away from the bus stop, but that still should be OK.

"Downvalley" housing will be a bit less expensive, but you'll be looking at less frequent and convenient bus service to the transportation center in Vail. Still, this may be a very viable housing option for you, and worth looking at.

Good luck with your winter in Vail!

I second the Vail Daily......they have a nice rental search engine on their page
