Boulder Neighborhoods | Table Mesa

For those looking for larger homes at the base of the foothills, the twin neighborhoods of Table Mesa and Highland Park provide the perfect spot. Thanks to Boulder’s limited development and generous open space, the neighborhoods still feel like they’re on the outskirts of town in the best possible way, while remaining incredibly convenient to campus, downtown Boulder, and US-36.

While there are a handful of townhomes and condos in the southeast corner of Table Mesa, most of the homes in both neighborhoods are true to the era they were built—1960s ranches, bungalows and split-levels, many of which have been extensively updated to offer the latest in finishes and features. Wide streets and large yards make for plenty of personal space, while the lack of through traffic make it a serene place to call home.

Residents benefit from nearly endless recreational opportunities here. The expansive Harlow Platts Park offers soccer fields, tennis and volleyball courts, and a disc golf course (along with all the standard amenities), while Viele Lake, at the park’s center, provides a picturesque spot for jogging, fishing or picnicking. Plus the park is the home of South Boulder Recreation Center with a 25-yard indoor pool, weight and cardio room, dance studios and racquetball/handball courts. Not to mention the neighborhoods’ proximity to some of the best hiking trails on the Front Range. Homeowners can step out the their back doors and hike to NCAR, Bear Canyon, or even up to Chautauqua or Boulder Canyon.

Shopping is a breeze here too, with ice cream and sandwich shops, a variety of restaurants, breweries, grocery stores, banks, retail and more all with storefronts in Table Mesa Shopping Center. Plus, with the Skip bus service, CU’s campus, downtown Boulder and all points north on Broadway are just a quick trip away.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Rolling Hills

Nestled in the southwestern most corner of the city, in the shadow of South Boulder and Bear Peaks, lie the neighborhoods of Devil’s Thumb and Rolling Hills. With quiet, wide streets, breathtaking views, and a secluded yet convenient location, the homes here are some of the most desirable in all of Boulder.

These neighborhoods were first built out in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and most of the architecture is still true to that era, with large split-levels and ranches—along with a handful of townhomes and condos—dominating the landscape. Rolling Hills was one of the only neighborhoods in Boulder that was designed to have all the power lines buried as part of the master plan. This lack of wires only adds to the stunning views many of the homes here enjoy—some straight out to the foothills, and some spanning all the way to Denver.

Like their neighbors in Table Mesa and Highland Park, Devil’s Thumb and Rolling Hills homeowners benefit from the extensive hiking trail system in their backyard. This area serves as a true gateway into Boulder’s mountain parks and trail system, offering residents world-class hiking and backpacking just steps from home. Or if trekking isn’t on the agenda, they can spend warm spring days picnicking, or snowy winter days sledding in Harlow Platts Park. In addition to the amenities at South Boulder Rec, the Devil’s Thumb HOA includes access to a private pool and tennis club. Two smaller parks—Bear Creek Park in Devil’s Thumb and Shanahan Ridge Park in Rolling Hills—offer more community grassy areas and walking paths.

While the neighborhoods are decidedly residential, their proximity to Table Mesa Shopping Center mean groceries, restaurants and retail are but a walk or quick bike ride away. And with Broadway/93 nearby, trips into downtown Boulder, up to the mountains or down to Denver are easy as well.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Martin Acres

Conveniently located between Baseline Road, Broadway, Hanover Avenue and US-36, Martin Acres offers affordability and accessibility unparallelled in other Boulder neighborhoods. Originally developed as a Boulder suburb in the 1950s, the area truly boomed with the completion of the Denver-Boulder Turnpike, providing commuters an ideal place to call home.

Mid-century ranches with tidy yards largely comprise the architecture you’ll find in Martin Acres, but some have had their “tops popped,” creating second floors and increasing or even doubling the square footage. The area’s lower price point and convenience to CU’s campus make it a hot spot for investors and student rentals, but there are plenty of more traditional homeowners here too, keeping it a more quiet neighborhood than the ones even closer to campus.

Martin Acres’ proximity to Broadway and Table Mesa mean both recreational and shopping/dining opportunities abound. The retail area across Broadway offers groceries, cafes, outdoor gear stores and much more. And a quick drive or bike ride takes residents to scenic south Boulder trails, tying into the network that will take avid hikers through Chautauqua and beyond. Plus, the neighborhood’s own Martin Park is a popular destination with tennis courts, a playground, picnic tables, ball fields, and even a community library.

Whether it’s north to campus and downtown, south down 93 to easy mountain access, or southeast to 36, Martin Acres is truly convenient to it all.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Frasier Meadows

For those looking for a slower pace of life, while still enjoying all the benefits of living in Boulder, the adjoining neighborhoods of Frasier Meadows and Keewaydin Meadows often hit the mark. Set in southeastern Boulder, the neighborhoods lie in the triangle formed by Baseline Road, US-36, and 55th Ave. This location means convenience for residents, while being removed from the hectic environments of CU’s campus and Boulder’s downtown area.

The vast majority of single-family homes in Frasier Meadows are ranches built in the 1960s on large, flat lots—which means it’s an ideal spot for those searching for a main-floor master. Some properties here even have restrictions on pop tops, protecting precious view planes. While these mid-century ranches extend into Keewaydin too, you’ll also find split-levels from the ‘70s, and a pocket of more contemporary two-story homes built in the 1980s. While many of these homes have been updated, there are still good deals to be found for those looking to add a little sweat equity. There are also quite a few condo complexes throughout both neighborhoods, spanning every decade from the 1960s through 2000s.

Frasier Meadows is home to Boulder’s largest retirement community—also named Frasier Meadows. The active senior living campus, which stretches across a verdant 20 acres, offers a variety of residential living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled care. Residents of the neighborhood and community alike enjoy the area’s communal recreation options including Admiral Arleigh A. Burke Park—with Thunderbird Lake, a playground, basketball court and sheltered picnic tables—and East Boulder Community Center, which features a large lap pool, leisure pool, indoor climbing wall, outdoor sand volleyball courts and more.

Meadows by the Parkway, a retail center conveniently located in between the neighborhoods, offers all the staples—groceries, a drug store, fitness facilities, banking, and a few cafes and restaurants. For fancier fare, Foothills Parkway and US-36 make for quick trips into downtown, or east to Louisville or on to the Denver metro area.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Baseline Sub

Located between Arapahoe and Baseline Roads, between 28th Street and Gilpin Drive, lies Baseline Sub. This L-shaped neighborhood is wedged between CU’s main and east campuses, just south of the Twenty Ninth Street district, making it convenient for students and city dwellers alike.

The core of Baseline Sub consists of neat ranches built in the early ‘60s that sit on tidy lots. Closer to both campuses, there are plenty of more recently built townhomes and condos for sale, offering the ideal rentals (or investment properties) for CU students. There are multiple pocket parks in the neighborhood, with the larger Aurora 7 and Scott Carpenter parks offering ball fields, walking paths and innovative playgrounds. Aurora 7 also features an outdoor classroom, while Scott Carpenter has a community pool and skate park. Homeowners also benefit from fantastic access to Boulder Creek Path, making the Canyon, Pearl Street Mall, and all points east a bike ride or jog away.

Access to restaurants and retail here is plentiful, with a few restaurants and bars just across Baseline in the southwest corner. Travel a couple of blocks west on Baseline and you’ll find Basemar, with coffeeshops, liquor stores, eateries and more—and a few blocks east from the neighborhood on Baseline brings you to Meadows on the Parkway with even more options—including a grocery and drug store.

A quick trip up 28th brings residents to Twenty Ninth Street, an outdoor shopping center with more than 70 shops and restaurants, plus a movie theater, grocery and big box stores. The central location, affordability, and convenience to CU’s campuses—especially the East Campus where a new aerospace engineering flagship facility will soon be built—make Baseline Sub a great investment and great place to live.

Boulder Neighborhoods | High Meadows

High Meadows—which, along with Silver Maple, make up the “Old North Boulder” area of the city—is a solid choice when searching for a home in central Boulder. More affordable, but just as accessible as its neighbor to the west, High Meadows offers the best of both worlds. Its borders are defined by Iris Avenue to the north, Folsom Street to the east, Edgewood Drive to the south and 19th Street to the west.

The majority of the houses in High Meadows are post-WWII ranches, many of which have been fully updated with modern finishes and high-end appliances. Attached garages—often hard to find in central Boulder—are plentiful here, making parking and commutes even easier. For recreation, Columbine Park is a neighborhood favorite. Recently renovated, the park offers a playground, picnic area, tennis courts and paved walking paths. And, of course, the area is well connected to the extensive trail system that runs throughout Boulder.

For shopping and restaurants, the High Meadows is conveniently located to 29th Street District, Pearl Street Mall and Ideal Plaza. Between the three, residents will find a plethora of shops and fine and casual dining, along with multiple grocery and big box stores. One of the most popular spots in Boulder, the Rayback Collective, is just to the east of the neighborhood. The year-round space serves as a type of community backyard party, featuring rotating food trucks along with a bar, fire pit, event space, and cozy lounge. It’s the ideal locale for a summer get-together or winter gathering.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Newlands

Wonderland Hills might just be one of Boulder’s best kept secrets. Perched at the base of the Foothills, with Wonderland Lake as its crowning jewel, the neighborhood consists of big homes with big views—along with practical patio and townhomes—arranged around cul-de-sacs and circular streets that make it one of the quietest areas in north-central Boulder.

Wonderland Hills traces its history to the early ‘70s when it was developed as a new “luxury” suburb of Boulder. Its convenience to the vibrant downtown scene and proximity to the foothills made it in demand as a type of urban mountain living. As one of Boulder’s only master plan developments, there’s a consistency to the houses you’ll find here—mid-70s to mid-80s architecture with a decidedly Californian vibe.

Of course, Wonderland Lake is a big reason to call the Hills home. The glass-surfaced picturesque lake itself offers fishing off its charming dock, and the 1.5-mile loop trail provides sweeping views of the nearby foothills. You can even hike into them via the Wonderland Hills trail, and catch paragliders and hang gliders launch from the slopes for their flights over the city.

If you don’t want to take the quick trip to Pearl Street or down Broadway on the convenient public transit, Lucky’s Plaza offers everything you need, right across the street. Restaurants, a coffeehouse, bakery and Lucky’s—a popular local organic grocer—all await.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Holiday

As one of the city’s newer developments, Holiday brings an exciting, multi-use neighborhood to north Boulder. With a variety of sustainably built housing types (including 40% designated as permanently affordable), low-maintenance lifestyle and walkability to new shops, restaurants and workout spots, Holiday has proven a popular choice for Boulder home seekers.

Holiday was built in the late ‘90s and early 2000s as a community-minded and “green” neighborhood. It was developed in what used to be the outskirts of town, on the site of an old drive-in movie theater—the charming vintage sign of which still greets visitors at the corner of 36 and Lee Hill Road. The neighborhood features a wide variety of homes, from two-story cottages and Craftsmans, to contemporary single-family, townhomes and condos, all built with sustainability in mind. The high density of the homes, combined with generous shared spaces like the 2.5-acre Holiday Park and community gardens, gives Holiday a true community vibe.

A collection of hotspots have popped up along Broadway, on the edge of the neighborhood, including restaurants and bars, coffee shops, and yoga and fitness studios. A quick trip down Broadway via bike, car or the Skip bus service, takes residents to the Lucky Market or Ideal Market Plazas, with even more great eats and stores, or to Pearl Street, Boulder’s ultimate destination for fine and casual dining and boutique shops. Residents are even given free Eco Passes on RTD (via their HOA), which means complimentary rides further into Boulder, to Denver, or even to the airport.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Dakota Ridge

Nestled in the northwest corner of Boulder city limits lies Dakota Ridge—a newer subdivision that has drawn homeowners with its value and eco-conscious, modern design. While home prices certainly aren’t low here, you’ll find some of the “biggest bang for your buck,” with new and near-new houses at a lower price point than central Boulder. The neighborhood’s prime location along both acres of open space and the foothills, coupled with its community-minded master plan make it a desirable spot to call home.

While the aesthetic of Dakota Ridge is decidedly new and “mountain modern,” you’ll find a variety of types of homes here, from one-bedroom condos to five-bedroom houses. Yards tend to be small, but the huge community park in the center of the neighborhood—and sprawling open space surrounding it—more than make up for it. Hiking or biking is as easy as picking a trail and heading out—up into the foothills for a mountain bike or walking trek, or up 36 toward Lyons on your road bike. Dakota Ridge Park offers its own recreational opportunities with three acres of open fields, paved walkways, sheltered picnic tables and an innovative, prehistoric-themed playground complete with dinosaur footprints imprinted in the cement.

As this community has developed, so too have the surrounding amenities. Today you’ll find cafes, bakeries, coffeeshops, and even a brewery right across Broadway. The “Skip”—one of Boulder’s über-convenient bus routes—runs down Broadway, making quick trips to Pearl Street, the CU campus, or even South Boulder, a breeze.

Parks: North Boulder Park

Nearby shops: Ideal Market, Sweet Cow, Breadworks, Fiori Flowers

Schools: Foothills/Casey/Boulder

The Newlands neighborhood—located between Linden Street, Broadway, Dewey and 3rd Streets—is popular among homebuyers for its convenience, recreational opportunities, and quiet residential streets. Striking distance to downtown and close to all the offerings at Ideal Market Plaza, its perch against the Foothills allows residents to avoid the hustle-and-bustle of busy Boulder, while taking advantage of all its vast natural resources.

The houses here range from cottages built in the ‘30s and ‘40s, to mid-century ranches, to brand-new builds. Some offer breathtaking views of the mountains, but even those that don’t offer nearly unparalleled access to their trails and open spaces. In the middle of the neighborhood sits North Boulder Park. This city-wide favorite offers a playground, picnic & grilling areas, fitness station and ball fields in addition to its grassy expanses—perfect for cross-country skiing in the winter, or simply sitting and taking in the gorgeous surroundings year-round.

A few restaurants sit within neighborhood boundaries along its southeast border, but just across Broadway lies Ideal Market Plaza where you’ll find groceries, coffee shops, homemade ice cream, a bakery, restaurants and boutique shops. And if you’re in the mood for some serious shopping, the hundreds of shops and eateries on Pearl Street are only blocks away. When you buy a house in Newlands, you’re never far from anything, but get to call a peaceful retreat home. -

Boulder Neighborhoods | Silver Maple/Old North Boulder

Restaurants/shops: Santo, Ideal Market, Jacque Michelle, Pekoe

Trails: Mt. Sanitas, Dakota Ridge Trails

Other: North Boulder Rec, Community Gardens

Parks: Salburg Park

If you’re looking for a quieter slice of life in Boulder—while not sacrificing convenience and livability—Silver Maple might just be the spot. Known colloquially as Old North Boulder, Silver Maple is defined by North Street to the south, Broadway to the west, Iris to the north and 19th Street to the east. The area is still eminently walkable to Pearl Street or the Foothills trails that start just blocks to the west, but feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of “downtown” Boulder.

Houses in Silver Maple are predominantly one of two types: the mid-century ranches and two-stories that are so pervasive across Boulder, and new, modern homes on the sites where those ranches and two-stories used to stand. The lots here are slightly larger and flatter than neighboring areas, so there’s a bit more space to truly call your own. But there’s also plenty of community space. The community gardens have provided a piece of farmland in the heart of the neighborhood for more than 20 years; Salburg Park features a great playground and picnic spots; and North Boulder Rec Center offers basic gym amenities, gymnastic facilities, group fitness classes and a completely renovated pool area to residents.

Want to put a little more adventure in your workout? Silver Maple is well connected to hiking trails and popular bike routes. Head through the neighboring Newlands area to reach the popular Sanitas or Dakota Ridge trails, or up Broadway to take your bike north on 36. And when you’re ready to refuel and relax, there are a host of great restaurants and shops—to the south on Pearl Street, to the east in the 29th Street District, plus you have direct access to Ideal Market Plaza where you’ll find groceries, fresh bread and bagels, coffee shops, boutiques and more.

Boulder Neighborhoods | University Hill

Trails: Chautauqua

Restaurants/shops: Alpine Modern, Cafe Aion, The Sink

Other: University of Colorado, Fox Theater,

Parks: Chautauqua

It’s no secret that Boulder is—at its heart—a college town. And no neighborhood embodies the energy, fun and excitement of college life than University Hill. Conveniently located to CU’s campus, University Hill lies between Arapahoe and Aurora, 9th and Broadway. At the center of the neighborhood is “The Hill”—a strip of retail, dining and entertainment spots along 13th Street and serves as a kind of extension to the campus itself.

The neighborhood offers a plethora of housing options to investors, university parents, or those looking to be in the middle of the action. Beautiful 1920s bungalows sit alongside stunning tudors—many of which have been converted to Greek system group homes or pre-divided into sensible apartments. There are also plenty of more traditional condos and apartment buildings, and a handful of neat cottages. Generous lots and garages are a rarity here as living space is at a premium.

While its convenience to campus is what defines this neighborhood, it has plenty to offer all on its own. The Hill commercial district is home to all-hours eateries catering to the palates of hungry students—Mexican, pizza, sandwiches, burgers—along with eclectic shops offering souvenirs, collector’s vinyl, art supplies and more. The Fox Theatre is one of Boulder’s original venues, and today serves as a premier live music club that draws crowds from around Boulder and across the Front Range. The neighborhood is also mere blocks to the Foothills and breathtaking Chautauqua Park, meaning recreational opportunities abound here.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Downtown

When you picture Boulder, one of the first images that comes to mind is probably Pearl Street Mall. The bustling, pedestrian-friendly district offers world-class shopping, dining and entertainment and serves as the central strip to Boulder’s über-popular Downtown. Opportunities for home buyers don’t come along very often here, but those lucky enough to call Downtown home have the best of Boulder right out their front door.

Loosely defined as the wedge between Spruce Street and Canyon Boulevard, bordering on 20th Street to the east and coming to a point at the city’s western edge, Downtown is as “city living” as it gets in Boulder. Most of the homes you’ll find here are of the attached variety—largely lofts and condos developed within the last 15 years. While there are historic cottages and older homes on the neighborhood’s borders, those are harder to come by and don’t last on the market for long!

Downtown provides residents prime access to recreational opportunities. Perched at the foot of the mountains, hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking opportunities abound, and with Central Park and the Boulder Creek along its southern border, you can add tubing, fishing and jogging along the Creek path to the list of things to do in the great outdoors. The path extends from the depths of Boulder Canyon, well beyond city limits to the east, making it a pedestrian and bike artery perfect for transportation and play.

But it’s the shopping, restaurants and nightlife that really draw home buyers to Downtown. More than 1,000 businesses fill Pearl Street Mall, but even if you’re not in the mood for a killer meal or some of the best shopping in Colorado, strolling its cobblestones and enjoying the wide variety of street performers who post up there, is a fantastic year-round activity. Restaurants, bars, trails, shops, paths and parks—not to mention the live entertainment to be discovered at Boulder Theater and the seasonal draws to Central Park of the Farmers Market and Boulder Creek Festival. Downtown Boulder truly has it all.

Boulder Neighborhoods | Mapleton Hill

Screen Shot 2020-08-06 at 3.22.22 PM.png

If you’re looking for quintessential Boulder living, look no further than the Mapleton Hill neighborhood. Gorgeous, historic homes on wide and colorful tree-lined streets, just blocks away from both mountain trails and Pearl Street Mall. It’s no wonder that Mapleton HIll so often serves as the backdrop to Boulder photoshoots and that it’s coveted by so many house hunters.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Boulder, the area was settled in the late 1800s to take advantage of the superior drainage and exceptional views its hilltop location afforded. Most of the Mapleton Hill neighborhood is a protected historic district, so you’ll find the best of early 20th-century architecture here. Victorians, Four Squares and Craftsmen designs often offer sunny porches where residents can take in the stunning seasonal colors of the Silver Maple and Cottonwood trees—many of which were planted by the neighborhood’s original developers.

There’s a small pocket park at the southern edge of the area, but spacious North Boulder, Eben G. Fine and Central Parks are all within walking distance, and the trailheads for both Mt. Sanitas and Red Rocks Trails are just to the west as Mapleton Avenue turns into Sunshine Canyon. You’re also mere blocks to the best restaurants and retail Boulder has to offer with Pearl Street Mall at the base of the hill to the south. Boulder living doesn’t get much more idyllic or convenient than Mapleton Hill. -Courtesy of Porchlight Real Estate Group

Boulder Neighborhoods | Whittier

In the heart of downtown Boulder, between the streets of Bluff, 28th, Broadway and Canyon, lies the neighborhood of Whittier. This relatively large area boasts a variety of homes in the most ideal of locations. Nestled between Pearl Street Mall and the 29th Street retail center, it doesn’t get much more central or convenient than Whittier.

Whittier is one of Boulder’s oldest neighborhoods. Established in 1859 with wide, tree-lined streets and large Victorian homes—some of which have been preserved through historic designation and restored to their former glory. But as Boulder grew, so too did Whittier, so you’ll find an eclectic mix of architecture here, including large single family homes, Accessory Dwelling Units perfect for rentals or mother-in-law suites, and multi-family condos and townhomes. There are a couple of pocket parks in the neighborhood, and there’s easy access to the expansive North Boulder Park, Central Park and the Boulder Creek Trail, making recreation options limitless.

If it’s shopping and dining you’re looking for, look no further than Whittier. Pearl Street Mall, with its plethora of restaurants and retail choices, is just to the south, and the 29th Street retail center lies just across 28th to the east. In fact, all along the eastern edge of the neighborhood you’ll find everything from groceries, to local restaurants to boutique shops offering one-of-a-kind finds. Whittier is also home to the Dairy Arts Center—a renovated milk processing center that today serves as a world-class venue for film, dance, theater, music and more. -Courtesy of Porchlight Group
