Live the lifestyle millions dream of in America’s most famous mountain town

Mountains Scenic Tourism Winter Sports Nature Outdoors Skiing Snowboarding Biking Upscale

For decades, Aspen has been one of America’s preeminent winter resort communities, and the lucky few who live here year-round enjoy the unique opportunity to see the stunning beauty of the Rocky Mountains in all four seasons. Numerous ski resorts operate in the immediate area, with some even running lifts and gondolas right down into the city.

In the summer, the surrounding mountains and forests provide superb opportunities for hiking, climbing, camping, and biking. The thriving downtown district features a wealth of unique shops, restaurants, bars, and cultural attractions to suit any taste—from swanky eateries like Matsuhisa Aspen to gloriously unpretentious hangouts like Zane’s Tavern, this town caters to jet-setters and ski bums alike. The local rental market features numerous upscale houses and condos ranging from slope-side cabins to downtown digs to cozy suburban-style homes.
