Guidebook Aspen
The City of Aspen is a Home Rule
Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of
Pitkin County, Colorado, United States. The United States Census
Bureau estimates that the city population was 5,804 in 2005. Founded
as a mining camp in the Colorado Silver Boom and named because of
the abundance of aspen trees in the area, the city is now a ski
resort and an upscale tourist center.
In the late 20th century, the city developed as a popular
destination for celebrities, attracting people like Charlie Sheen,
Hunter S. Thompson, and John Denver, the latter having written
several songs about the town, including "Aspenglow" and "Starwood in
Aspen".
 
The historic character of the city has been challenged in recent
decades by skyrocketing property values and the proliferation of
second homes, increasingly shutting low- and middle-income workers
out of the city and creating a large pool of commuters from nearby
bedroom communities such as Snowmass, Basalt, Carbondale and
Glenwood Springs. At the same time, in stark contrast to its
historic character, the city has emerged into international fame as
a glitzy playground of the wealthy and famous. Aspen has become a
second and third home to many international jet setters.
The downtown has been largely transformed into an upscale shopping
district that includes high-end restaurants, salons, and boutiques.
Aspen boasts Ralph Lauren, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Fendi,
Bvlgari, Burberry, Brioni, theory and Ermenegildo Zegna boutiques.
Real estate market
The booming real estate market has forced the city to struggle
between permitting growth and restricting it. The city today remains
a mix of high-end luxury homes and condos intermixed with legacy
residences and mobile home parks populated by an old guard of Aspen
residents struggling to maintain the unique character of the city.
The average home/condo listing price as of 2008 was $1,795,000,
while the average property value is over $1.8 million. It isn't
uncommon to see listing prices reaching the mid-eight figures.
