Taylor's Crossing at Copper Mountain
Taylor's Crossing is one of the more sought-after condo buildings at Copper Mountain, and the reason is simple. It sits right in the heart of Center Village, steps from the American Eagle and American Flyer lifts, and many of its units look out over West Lake toward the Ten Mile Range. It was built in 1999, which puts it among the newer buildings in the core of the resort. For a buyer who wants to walk out the door and be near the lifts, shops, and dining, or who wants a rental that stays busy because of where it sits, this is a building worth understanding before you compare it to anything else at Copper.

The quick take: Taylor's Crossing is a location play with a view bonus. The units are the familiar Copper condo layout, but the Center Village position steps from the lifts is hard to beat, and many units add West Lake and Ten Mile Range views on top of that. That combination is what keeps these units in demand for both owners and renters. If being able to walk to the lift matters to you, start here.
What Taylor's Crossing is, and who it fits
Taylor's Crossing belongs to the generation of Copper condos built in the late 1990s, so the interiors follow a practical, predictable layout: a compact kitchen, a living area with a gas fireplace, a private balcony, and one to three bedrooms depending on the unit. Studios here are efficient, and the larger corner units can be genuinely comfortable with real views. This is the kind of condo a lot of buyers already know from renting, and for many people that predictability is exactly the point.
Comparing two Copper condos on the interior alone misses what often matters more here: location within the resort and the specific floor plan. At Taylor's Crossing, the interior is part of the story, but the location is the bigger part. You are in the heart of Center Village, steps from the American Eagle and American Flyer, with shops and dining right outside, and many units add a West Lake view most buildings cannot offer. That mix is what a renter is paying for, and it is what keeps occupancy steady even when the unit itself looks like others on the mountain.
The honest read: a standard interior unit at Taylor's Crossing does not differentiate itself on finishes or floor plan alone, so as a rental it competes on price, presentation, and photos as much as anything else. What it does have is one of the better walk-to-lift positions at Copper and, on many units, a real West Lake view. For a buyer who values steady demand and convenience, that tradeoff makes sense. If you want a unit that stands apart, focus on the corner and view units here, or we can also look at the older slopeside buildings and the newer modern product.
Location and ski access
Taylor's Crossing sits in the heart of Center Village, the walkable core at the middle of the resort. The American Eagle and American Flyer lifts are just steps away, so getting onto Copper's terrain is quick, and shops, restaurants, and the base area are right outside. Many units overlook West Lake, with the Ten Mile Range beyond, and West Ten Mile Creek runs nearby, which gives this building a setting most Center Village condos do not have. If you prefer the quieter side of the resort, West Village near Union Creek has a different feel, but for pure convenience in the middle of the action, Center Village is Copper's strongest position.
Building and amenities

Elevator access, heated underground parking, on-site management, and an amenity area with a common hot tub, sauna, and steam room. The building is set up for easy in-and-out on ski days, and building dues cover the utilities on many units.

Fitness and storage
A fitness room and ski lockers on site, so gear does not have to live in your unit. Interiors run the practical, comfortable Copper condo style, with many units updated and the corner units offering the best light and views.

Short-term rentals at Taylor's Crossing
Copper Mountain is in unincorporated Summit County, so short-term rental licensing runs through the county rather than a town program. A license does not transfer to you on sale, so you apply as the new owner. Center Village buildings like Taylor's Crossing tend to be strong rental performers because of the walk-to-lift location and, on many units, the views.
Before you rely on rental income from a specific unit, confirm the current requirements on the Copper Mountain short-term rental rules page and read that unit's HOA documents. The rules matter more than any projection.

Things to consider
