basically old enough for Peter to date if a writer wants them too

"I need a reason to take the mask off."-Peter Parker
"My heart half-breaks at how easy it is to lie to him. It breaks all the way when he believes me without question." Felicia Hardy
I think she's gonna be stuck at 19 the same way Peter is stuck in the mid-twenties.
"Anyone can win a fight when the odds are easy! It's when the going's tough - when there seems to be no chance - that's when it counts!" - Spider-Man
Young enough to get away with this.
"Cable was right!"
Yeah, I think Gwen is supposed to be like 18-24 months older than Miles, which would put her at about 19. She could've graduated high school at 17, had her gap year, and still be 19.
In another thread, folks were comparing their roles in the franchise to Dick and Babs. I believe Babs is supposed to be 2-3 years older than Dick. Just more conceptual overlap.
I had always figured relatively young, 18 at the youngest or 20 at the oldest

29 by now if you count the eight-month time-skip post-Secret Wars. To be honest, he should be at least or about 30 by now, but thanks to comic book time and Marvel's reluctance to depict him in the "main" continuity as a full-fledged adult, he'll probably be in his 20s forever, with Marvel edging him closer to mid-20s than late 20s.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Yeah, I don't see Marvel ever putting Peter into his 30s or older long-term. They'd find some way to de-age him while aging everyone else up. They like a younger Peter (usually the high school version), because they can better merchandise him as a kid's character. Pretty sure Spider-man action figures on the whole are even more popular than Batman ones sales-wise.
Just be happy we even have a Peter who's college age or typical post-grad age, lol.
