Boulder Neighborhood Highlights

The Mapleton neighborhood is for you if living close to the action is your cup of espresso; you'll find shopping, restaurants, theaters, live music venues, and good old fashioned people-watching surrounding the neighborhood near the Pearl Street Mall and the natural beauty of the Flatirons.

The Steel Yard neighborhoods are located near the brand new 29th Street Mall, and is experiencing some rapid development.

Up north, the new Holiday neighborhood is an urbanite's delight, and the centrally located University Hill is an eclectic mix of academia, old Boulder whimsy, and night life.

If the family lifestyle is what suits you, the Moores, and Edgewood neighborhoods to the north, and Table Mesa and Martin Acres to the south, boast close proximity to great schools, parks, and recreation centers. Their convenient access to stores and restaurants without sacrificing beautiful views of the foothills is hard to beat, too.

If you're itching to get out of town a bit and stretch out with a nice cup of herbal tea, Gunbarrel North is a suburban area with Boulder's own Celestial Seasonings nearby. For commuters or those who frequent Boulder's northern neighboring cities of Longmont, Loveland, and Ft. Collins for work and/or play, Northfield Commons, near Orchard Creek, provides handy access to the Diagonal Highway. And closer to Lyons and the canyon road that leads to Jamestown, Crestview Estates is a quiet spot not too far from Highway 36. Love the water? Water skiers,sun worshippers and cyclists will find Valhalla tucked between Boulder Reservoir and North Central Boulder Park.

Or, go west! But only for only ten minutes or so, and you'll discover the seemingly infinite offering of mountain and foothill homes conveniently located not too far from flatter land. Seven Hills. Similarly, Pinebrook Hills, for example, offers fantastic city and nature views, starry night skies and wide open spaces to hike and watch the wildlife.
