Centralized neighborhood filled with history

Goss-Grove is the geographic center of Boulder. The historic residential neighborhood is situated between Downtown, the University of Colorado Boulder and the Twenty Ninth Street Mall retail area. “It’s a neighborhood I like quite well because of its proximity to Downtown and its farmers market,” says Associate Broker Colette Herwitt with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rocky Mountain Realtors, who has over 30 years of experience. “There are a lot of educated people living here with the university close by.”

Historic housing and multifamily properties

Goss-Grove is known for its Victorian homes, walkability and active community. The neighborhood’s history and location have an impact on the housing market, with a mix of older homes and newer apartment complexes throughout. “It’s one of the older Boulder neighborhoods, like Whittier but not as pricey. Many of the houses were built prior to the 1920s,” Herwitt says. Victorian-inspired, multilevel homes and bungalows line the streets, costing anywhere between $990,000 and $1.4 million. These properties share characteristics such as front porches, dormer windows and gabled roofs. Traditional duplexes and condominiums from the 1980s are also common, ranging from 400 to 1,200 square feet with a price of $300,000 to $625,000. Many of these properties are rented out to college students who want to live off-campus but stay within walking distance. There are also multiple apartment communities in Goss-Grove, including Madeline Creek Apartments, Canyon Villa Apartments and Two Pines.
