Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country
2026-09-11
🏆 Ranked #1 in Rent Disparity Among Colorado Mountain Counties — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
The Colorado High Country’s 1.76x rent gap between Eagle and San Miguel counties isn’t just a number—it’s a systemic divide. In Summit, Eagle, and Pitkin, median rents exceed 50% of median income, pricing out essential workers despite strong tourism. Meanwhile, second-home markets in Vail and Aspen continue to attract capital. This isn’t a supply issue—it’s a geography-of-wealth issue.
How do we design housing policies that serve both the economy and the community?
