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.
