The West End of Aspen has long been an essential hub of the town’s cultural and intellectual scene. With the likes of the Aspen Institute, Benedict Music Tent, Harris Hall, and the Aspen Center for Physics, it’s easy to see why.
Since 1949, the Aspen Music Festival and School has been a cornerstone of Aspen’s social and cultural scene. Each summer, the festival has over 400 classical music events, many of which are free to the public. The school’s 650 students benefit from world-class instruction and the unique opportunity to perform alongside top international musicians. For even more live music, residents can visit the nearby Harris Concert Hall and Benedict Music Tent, where exceptional performances take center stage.
What was once a quiet neighborhood inhabited predominantly by second homeowners taking advantage of the summer programs at their neighborhood nonprofit campus, there has been a surge in recent years of young families moving in full time.
They’ve discovered that quality of life, a quality public school system and a short walk to downtown makes the West End a charming place to live, especially with all the Victorian homes and miner’s cabins that have been preserved.
