Growing, changing, Gypsum has long been home to pastures, ranches and farmhouses, but now, with a number of new developments, Gypsum is rapidly expanding and attracting a variety of residents.  Located in the spectacular Gypsum Creek Valley is the golf course community of Cotton Ranch, featuring large homes, sprawling lawns, an 18-hole Pete Dye designed course, clubhouse and amenities.  New to the Gypsum Creek Valley is the Brightwater Club, Eagle County’s only truly gated community, featuring private golf, lakes and streams for fishing, kayaking and canoeing, trail systems for  hiking, biking and horseback riding, and much more.

A few miles east of town and located adjacent to the airport is a large commercial park with Costco at its center.  Providing jobs and convenience, the park is located far enough so as not to disrupt the quiet, residential nature of the town, yet near enough to provide the ease of city living for all of the Valley’s residents, without the city, of course.
