Real Estate in Boulder Colorado is some of the most coveted property in the United States mostly due to the proximity Boulder Colorado has to the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains. Boulder is literally nestled right up against the Rockies, with the landmark feature of Boulder being the Flatirons (second picture above) and the adjacent Chautauqua Park. At any given time, there are between 1100 and 1400 Boulder homes and/or condos for sale within the city limits, so as you can tell, there is a large variety of homes to choose from. Prices for one-bedroom condos start in the mid 100’s, and go as high as several million dollars for a custom home near downtown Boulder, on the “West Side,” in the Chautauqua area or on “The Hill.”

Boulder real estate tends to be the most valuable in the Metro area, and also better retains its value due to the fact that Boulder has a moratorium on most new building, which only adds to the desirability of Boulder CO real estate. About the only way to build new Boulder home is to scrape an existing structure and rebuild, or build just outside the city limits. There is literally a greenbelt surrounding Boulder that can’t be built on – only further separating Boulder from everywhere else. This serves as an excellent insurance policy for Boulder residents that the area will not see the urban sprawl that so many other areas have experienced.

The other reason Boulder homes for sale are so desirable is because of all that surrounds the city itself. Boulder has repeatedly been voted “the healthiest city in the nation,” and that well deserved reputation is because of all that Boulder has to offer. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Boulder residents can hike out their back door year-round and access thousands of miles of open space and trails. The city of Boulder has four public recreation centers, not to mention the dozens of private facilities for residents to use. In the winter, many residents leave early from work and take a half-hour drive up the canyon to Eldora Ski resort for an afternoon of skiing. In the summer, Boulder Reservoir allows boating, kayaking, fishing, or just basking in the sun. The City of Boulder is also host to the world-famous Bolder Boulder – a 10K race that attracts over 40,000 runners every year, including elite runners from all over the world. Visiting Pearl Street Mall is an activity that all Boulder visitors should add to their list of things to do when in town. Dozens of art galleries, “Mom & Pop” shops, and restaurants ranging from “Tom’s Tavern” (a small, locally owned shop voted “Best Burger in Boulder” multiple years in a row) to larger chains such as “BJ’s Brewery” or “Cheesecake Factory” – you can find it all in the pleasant outdoor environment of the Pearl Street Mall. Street performers add to the Boulder experience, and seeing “ZIP Code Man” perform is worth the trip in itself.

Although prices for Boulder homes for sale tend to be higher than surrounding areas, it is due to the high quality of life Boulder provides. If Boulder housing prices are too steep for you, surrounding areas such as Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, or Niwot tend to be between 10% and 35% less expensive, and those cities are all no more than a 10 or 20 minute drive from Boulder.
