It's the most incredible town! The entire roaring fork valley is wonderful. Extremely safe, tons of outdoor actives, great transportation system, high caliber schools. Lots to do for a mountain town..
But the prices.. no, the median home price is not in the 600ks.. THIS IS GROSSLY WRONG. It is in the millions, the average sold home price in 2019 was in the 2 million range. It's almost impossible to find affordable housing here. If you've got that locked down you're set. They do have employee housing but it's almost impossible to secure.. and if you do, 9/10 times you have to make under a certain income that's nearly impossible (ex. 60k max household income for a two person household.. how did you live here before??)
Everything besides the cost of living here is incredible, but it is very sad for those who love it and want to stay but simply cant afford to even when having a good salaried job..

A beautiful mountain town in the Rocky Mountains. Great skiing, fun outdoors lifestyle and has everything you need to make a life for yourself. Great employment and job opportunities, but quite expensive! The rent in Aspen is outrageous aswell!
