SperlingViews - Vail, Colorado

Vail..pros/ cons Pros 1. beautiful town 2. very low crime Cons 1. Ungodly expensive and that's an understatement 2. unless you are rich and beautiful, this isn't the town for you. 3. Very arrogant people. 4.awful job market, the people who come to Vail for the most part have money and aren't looking for a low paying job in the mts.[read more...]

Vail is beautiful year round. Fabulous skiing, hiking, fishing, shopping, restaurants, etc. However, the price you pay to live in a resort town is extremely high cost of living.[read more...]

Vail is very different that other areas of the U.S. I have lived in Seattle, Los Angeles, Orange County, Austin TX, Monterey CA... and it is another world here. World Class ski resort is the main focus of the town. Vail is very much a TOWN. The Vail Village is the center of the area, very European in design, high prices, cobblestone, etc. This is an international destination. Outside of the village is a lot of nothing. Think: Amusement park for wealthy adults. Home prices have soared and there is a wide gap between upper and lower class abilities to thrive in this area. Best part, it is a and can be a beautiful area. Lots of bears. Was woken up by one last night at 3am, knocking my trash can over... put my flashlight on him from my balcony and he ran away.[read more...]

If you are moving from Miami it is very different. Very small town setting. Not a lot of wild night life and no after hour club scene. During the winter it's much more alive but this valley is very family oriented.[read more...]

Does anyone have any insight as to whether or not I will like it moving from Miami?[read more...]
