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.
