Central Boulder Real Estate & Neighborhood Lifestyle

Central Boulder offers historic charm, Pearl Street energy, and easy access to trails and CU.

Welcome to Central Boulder

Central Boulder is the city’s oldest neighborhood, and prized for its access to Pearl Street, CU, Chautauqua, and the foothills. Tree-lined streets, bike lanes, and a dense mix of restaurants, cafés, and shops create a lively downtown vibe. Bike to the Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and splash in the creek on a hot day. Housing ranges from historic bungalows and Victorians to condos and lofts, with centrally located homes commanding top prices. Demand is strong, inventory is tight, and competition is common, especially in spring and summer.
 
Our favorites: Mapleton Hill PorchFest, music at Velvet Elk, Boulder High football games, tailgating at CU, grabbing a bite at Organic Sandwich Co.
