So far you've probably read and heard about the great reasons to live in the Roaring Fork Valley. But as with any place, the Roaring Fork Valley has its drawbacks, too. Probably the most important thing to understand is the relatively high cost of living.

If you are seriously considering relocating to the Aspen, Colorado area, we suggest you read the "Cost of Living" information.

This information is not provided to discourage you from considering employment with Pitkin County. It has been our experience that employees who understand the reality of life here are happier than those who arrive unprepared. Choosing to make any location your home involves some compromise. Most of us wouldn't trade our lives here for anything but that is a choice you must make for yourself.
