??? HOUSING ???

Employee Housing is filling up. Don't Worry.

There's still plenty of options in the Valley. We've done a little research and here are some alterantives.

TIMBER RIDGE
But that's employee housing right? Yes, but the complex is owned by the Town of Vail, and they have units you can rent directly though their property managment company, Corum.

They offer 6 month and year leases. Year leases are cheaper. I only got info on the 6 month lease.

They have 2 bedroom appartments. Rent is $1190/month. You can have up to 4 people. Everyone living there will need to pass a background criminal and credit check at a cost of $50/person before you can move in. They are unfurnished and utilities are not included.

RIVER RUN
This complex is privately owned and was used for some of our employee housing last winter. It is located about 5 miles west of Vail on the Eagle County bus route. They have ample parking. The units are unfurnished and don't include utilities.

They offer year leases, but will do short term leases for an additional $150/month.

The offer 1 to 3 bedroom appartments ranging from $930 - $1465. To move in you would need first month's rent plus a deposit.

MIDDLE CREEK
This place is probably the most expensive of affordable places in town, but it's only a 10 minute walk to the locker room.

They only have year leases. The units are unfurnished and don't include utilities. Studios start at $883 and you need deposit of $1500 bucks.

INDIVIDUAL ROOMS
Craigslist and the Vail Daily Classifieds are good options to find someone looking for a roommate.

FURNITURE
There are cheap solutions.

There is a Super Walmart in Avon where you can get all kinds of affordable furniture. Think air mattress.

You can find yard sales in the Vail Daily Classifieds and craigslist.

There is a thrifty store in Edwards, 15 miles west of Vail, that has loads of affordable, used furnishings.
