How is Cherry Hills a resort town? BTW, dues to Cherry Hills CC are $720 a month. Not quite $100k a year. It's cool that Aspen and Cherry Hills made the list, just strange for Cherry Hills. It's about as far from a resort town as you can get. It's all high-end residential. Not a single hotel in the city limits.
I think Arapahoe County officials (and residents, for that matter) would be pretty surprised to learn they have a resort town in their midst. If you were to vacation in the "resort town" of Cherry Hills Village, where would you stay? That Marriott on I-25 and Hampden? Congrats on Aspen being there, PhilNotHill - it's the most beautiful place in Colorado!
Maybe they were talking about this place.......LOL http://www.cherry-hill.com/ or maybe..... http://cherryhillsassoc.com/
I wouldn't consider Newport Beach a resort town either. Nevertheless... Aspen is hands down the nicest place in the state.
