Eagle, CO – “A small ‘old west’ town complimented by modern amenities and family neighborhoods located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains with world class resorts and international airport less than fifteen minutes away.”
The Town of Eagle has matured into one of the nicest small mountain towns in the Rockies. In recent years, the local population has grown substantially and the town’s people have come together to create a community that is beginning to thrive with economic diversity and civic cooperation.
Turn back the clock 10 years…..
It wasn’t long ago when the Eagle, Colorado was featured as a real estate boom town gone bust on PBS Newshour; in fact, in 2009, again in 2010 and again in 2011. The road to economic recovery has been a long one for the mountain town of Eagle, Colorado. However, it is safe to say that the town has transitioned to a more diversified professional business base with a strong work close to home and family component; it’s an economy that is still dependent on the up-valley resort industry but, less dependent on new real estate development and overall much more independent than before.
The Town of Eagle and its residents have been resilient and are working hard to re-energize the community spirit, diversify the business economy, improve infrastructure and plan for new residential homes and commercial buildings.

New and expanded events such as the Youth Mountain Bike Championships, the Eagle County Fair and Rodeo, Eagle YogaFest and the Eagle Wild Mushroom and Wine Weekend have begun to put the spotlight on the Town of Eagle as a weekend travel destination. The Town of Eagle has built an extensive mountain bike trail systems and has quickly become a well known; some say perhaps the Colorado equivalent to Utah’s famed Moab. In addition, over the past 5 years many new families and residents have moved to Eagle increasing the local population substantially; there is vitality through the Town as we are seeing busier restaurants, bigger crowds at events and more folks walking and biking around town.
A series of new roundabouts and pedestrian friendly pathways were finished last summer and a pedestrian and bike trail system has been constructed with its own I-70 overpass allowing residents the walkability to and from the neighborhoods, grocery store, the bowling alley, restaurants and Chambers Road commercial area. Another new bike path finished this summer runs from Gypsum through Eagle to Edwards with a newly built bike and pedestrian bridge over the Eagle River in Wolcott. New custom homes are again available and there are several new subdivisions planned in the near future. A new assisted living center is open in Eagle Ranch with another add-on building being built next door. In addition, the grade schools and high schools all are increasing in size.

The Neighborhood of Eby Creek Mesa
Aptly named, The Eby Creek Mesa subdivision sits on a mesa north of the Town of Eagle, overlooking the Town and enjoying stunning views to the Sawatch Range and Red Canyon. More rural feeling in character than many other Eagle neighborhoods, this 220 lot neighborhood is characterized by larger lots, no sidewalks, and direct access to BLM hiking and bicycle trails. Colorado mountain wildlife abounds; deer, elk, bears, turkeys, foxes, hawks and mountain lions are regular visitors here. Despite its rural and private feel, it is only 2 minutes to I-70.
Eby Creek Mesa has a large and beautiful private community park, situated on a parcel that affords it the most spectacular views in the subdivision. The park has a soccer/baseball field, volleyball net, tot lot, events pavilion, and a paved bike path.
This Rocky Mountain neighborhood is almost completely built out, with less than 10 lots remaining undeveloped as of the date of this writing.
Even though it is physically located in Eagle, not more than a mile from the Town center as the crow flies, this subdivision has not been annexed by the Town of Eagle, and is therefore considered a part of unincorporated Eagle County. This results in lower taxes, but a somewhat higher cost of for water and sewer.
Homes in this area in 2015 have sold for between $449k and $950k. For those looking for a rural feel, with privacy, views, yet close to town, Eby Creek Mesa is an ideal choice.
