It can be difficult and somewhat misleading to use averages (such as price per square foot) to value homes in East Aspen as there is significant variation among subdivisions within this major area.

Homes in The Preserve, and subdivisions further up Independence pass, have different views from those on Park Avenue or Ardmore Court.

Some of these homes are very dated and are approaching lot value, while others are brand new.

Some of these subdivisions, such as McSkimming Way, have newer and older homes right next to one another.

View planes and quality construction seem to be more important than lot size when it comes to valuing a property in this desirable area.
