Avon sits at the base of Beaver Creek and is the commercial hub serving Eagle-Vail, Beaver Creek and Wildridge.  Several restaurants, national retail shops and offices are located throughout the town center.  Avon is currently undergoing a major renovation with the development of the Westin at Riverside Park.

The renovation consists of a $500 million dollar mixed-use project including a hotel, condominiums, pedestrian village, gondola connecting to Beaver Creek, 5.5 acre riverside park and a real main street with boutique shops and restaurants. The completion of this project will make Avon a leading epicenter for the entire Valley.  A planned community of townhomes and condominiums that border a large outdoor and indoor recreation area including Nottingham Lake which flourishes with ice skaters in the winter and the Avon Recreation Center busy year round with all the latest in fitness activities. Avon is the crossroads of the Vail Valley and a hidden gem between two top Ski Resorts; Beaver Creek and Arrowhead Mountain.
