"Gypsum offers more affordable livign than Vail and Glenwood Springs but just as beautiful"
Gypsum is a small town right along I-70 just west of Eagle, basically Gypsum is between Vail and Glenwood Springs on the south side of the interstate.
Gypsum Creek Golf Club is a notable landmark when you are driving through and the area is also know for the Gypsum drywall plant and mine. Gypsum the mineral is calcium sulfate dihydrate, known in its clear form in a rock shop as selenite, in sculpting as alabaster and simply gypsum in building materials and mining--it is also known as plaster of Paris. It is also used as a fertilizer as a source of sulfur for crops.
The town is near both Glenwood Springs and Vail and has economically done well because of the vicinity. There is beautiful land and existing properties that anyone looking to live in the mountains but have access to the ski resorts or larger towns would enjoy. Gypsum is more affordable than nearby Glenwood or Vail but the area is just as nice, just not as many amenities. The average household income in Gypsum is about $60,000.

"A quick stop on I-70"
Gypsum, Colorado is a lovely area just off of I-70. It lies roughly between Vail and Glenwood Springs, so there are a lot of fun things to do close by, such as hiking, skiing, camping, hot springs, and more. The population of Gypsum is currently 6,515 with the majority being white at 53% and the next largest race being Hispanic at just shy of 45%. The average household income here is $78,519 which is over $20,000 higher than the state average. However, buying a home in Gypsum is much more costly than in other parts of the state as well. As of 2012, the average home price was $378,738. Many of the residents work in construction and educational services.
I've been through and in Gypsum many times and I've always thought it would be a nice place to live. There's so much to do in this part of the state and from what I've witnessed, the townspeople all seem very friendly. The homes tend to get nicer the farther you get from the interstate and there are some really beautiful ones here. Although pricey, I would certainly consider living here.
