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.
