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.
