Mountain Valley Property Management team and office

Welcome to the Mountain Valley Family

Where our passion for creating thriving communities across the Roaring Fork and Vail Valleys drives everything we do

Our Story

Mountain Valley Property Management began in 2006 as a property management company focused on community associations (HOAs) in the Vail Valley. For over twenty years, we've built our reputation on providing outstanding customer service and the highest quality community care in Colorado's mountain regions.

What started as a two-man team managing and maintaing a handful of properties has grown into the region's most trusted property management company, now serving:

  • 35+ communities
  • Nearly 1 million square feet of space
  • Properties from Silverthorne to Breckenridge, East Vail to Gypsum and Glenwood to Aspen

We believe a well-managed community is more than just a collection of homes—it's a vibrant ecosystem where harmony, growth, and prosperity flourish. This vision continues to guide us as we've expanded our services to include residential communities, commercial properties, mixed-use developments, and private home management throughout the Colorado High Country including Summit County, the Vail Valley and the Roaring Fork Valley.

"We built this company on a simple principle: treat every property as if it were our own, and every client as if they were friends."

— Alex Cudney, President

Why Local Matters

Our managers are mountain locals (some even born and raised!), giving us invaluable insight into everything from real estate trends to weather patterns. This insider knowledge allows us to customize each management experience for the unique challenges of high-altitude living.

By serving on HOA boards ourselves and living in the communities we manage, we understand your specific pain points and opportunities for improvement. We're not just your property managers—we're your neighbors.
