Rural scenery surrounds this gated community
Located among the foothills of the Sawatch Range, Aspen’s Starwood neighborhood is far removed from the bustle of the city’s downtown. This exurban, planned community immerses its residents in nature, with snowcapped mountains and rolling hills dominating the skyline. This collage of natural scenery even inspired Starwood resident John Denver to write a paean to this neighborhood, “Starwood in Aspen,” in 1971. Realtor Riley Warwick with brokerage Douglas Elliman says, “It’s a bit removed from town. It’s a little bit private; there’s a 24-hour security gate. It’s known for its gorgeous views and its expansive properties.”
