About Aspen
Aspen, a Colorado city that needs no introduction. This well-known and well-loved city was founded in 1889 during the silver mining boom. Today it is a world-renowned ski town nestled in the White River National Forest. It’s a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to take full advantage of all the Colorado Rockies have to offer like hiking, biking, skiing, and trail running. Aspen is also known for its high-end restaurants, shopping, and landmarks like the Wheeler Opera House.
It will cost you a pretty penny to live in Aspen, but it's well worth the investment! The town satisfies the tastes of the most discerning homebuyers and features mountain homes including sprawling cabins in quiet, gated communities.
