About the Roaring Fork Valley:

Offering a wealth of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and arts & culture year round, the Roaring Fork Valley can be a financially challenging place to live for salaried employees. Because of limited housing opportunities, and the area’s high rate of affluent seasonal & full time residents, rents can be considerably higher than most cities. Additionally, non-housing expenses tend to run 20-30% higher in Aspen than in most metropolitan areas. But, there are resources available to those seeking to relocate to the area.

The Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority was created over 30 years ago to help make it possible for working people who provide essential services to the day-to-day operations of the community to afford a place to live. You can find out more through their website: http://www.apcha.org/

Private rentals are available, but those are often times more expensive than what is available through the Housing Authority, especially closer to Aspen. Rental ads can often be found in the on-line and print editions of the local papers: www.aspentimes.com, www.aspendailynews.com, www.postindependent.com.

Public transportation within the Roaring Fork Valley is better than most thanks to an exceptional bus system that offers local transportation around the Aspen area and throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. More information on routes, schedules and pricing can be found here: http://www.rfta.com/
