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. -Courtesy of Porchlight Real Estate Group
