Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country

🏆 Ranked #1 Oldest City in the Colorado High Country — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Steamboat Springs and Aspen now share the highest median age in the region at 44 years — a data point that defies the narrative of mountain towns as youthful, transient playgrounds. This isn’t a demographic flaw; it’s a strategic advantage. Long-term residents anchor the market, reduce volatility, and drive innovation that respects legacy while adapting to climate and affordability pressures. How does an aging population strengthen real estate resilience in a resort economy? The answer lies in continuity, not turnover.
