East Aspen

East Aspen

Welcome to East Aspen, Aspen's hidden gem, located on the serene east side of the Roaring Fork River, just beyond the Downtown Core. This area stretches east to the Northstar Preserve and Independence Pass. Offering a relaxed neighborhood feel and a deep connection with nature, East Aspen embodies a sense of "Old Aspen" that is rarely found elsewhere.

Overview

East Aspen features a blend of older, rustic homes and contemporary dwellings, creating a versatile and architecturally diverse community. The neighborhoods here include The Aspen Club, Northstar Preserve, Stillwater, Knollwood & Eastwood, Mountain Valley, Morningstar, and Difficult, each with its own unique character. The Aspen Club and Stillwater subdivisions enjoy riparian settings with direct access to the East Aspen Trail, abundant open spaces, and an easy stroll to town via the Benedict Building and Ute Avenue. Mountain Valley boasts south-facing hillside homes with views of the Ute Chutes, Ute Cliffs on Aspen Mountain to the south, and Sunshine and New York Peak to the east. Northstar features large lots, unmatched privacy, and quintessential Aspen mountain homes, some designed in a timeless Colorado lodge style by renowned local builder Lee Pardee.

Activities

East Aspen offers unparalleled access to some of Aspen’s most beloved outdoor activities, especially during the summer. Residents enjoy quick access to road biking up the pass, which is particularly popular in May before the pass opens to vehicles just before Memorial Day Weekend. Many homes are just a short walk from the Stillwater area of the Roaring Fork River, where activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, and fly fishing are popular. East Aspen also provides access to some of the best rock climbing in Pitkin County, perfect for adrenaline seekers. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate the many stunning trails in the area, including the family-friendly Grottos Trail, known for its picturesque waterfall, natural grottos, and breathtaking rock formations. The Ruby Trail offers views over Grizzly Reservoir and a nearby ghost town, while the more challenging Lost Man Trail rewards hikers with crystal-clear alpine lakes and expansive meadows atop the Continental Divide.

Dining

While East Aspen relies on the Downtown Core for its dining options, residents are never more than a 3-minute drive or 10-minute walk from some of Aspen’s most popular restaurants on the east side of town. These include Element 47 at The Little Nell, Butcher’s Block, Spring Café, Kenichi, and the newly opened Parc Aspen.

East Aspen is a unique, charming, and well-located community on the quieter side of town, offering its residents an unrivaled Aspen lifestyle.
