Goss-Grove
Neighborhood in Boulder, Colorado

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.Natural gardens and outdoor recreation
While Goss-Grove itself has limited green space, there are a few areas nearby. Emma Gomez Martinez Park has a large grassy field and a renovated playground with natural features such as sitting rocks and a treehouse-shaped slide. There’s also a basketball court and a picnic area. A mile southwest, the Andrews Arboretum has pathways that wind through a demonstration garden with natural foliage and scattered park benches. The Goss-Grove Neighborhood Garden was created in 2019 for the community’s Pollinator Project. The garden is filled with native wildflowers and grasses that attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.High-rated Boulder public schools

The Goss-Grove Neighborhood Association (GGNA) hosts a handful of block parties a year. It also plans eco-friendly initiatives such as community composting and the Pollinator Project to keep the neighborhood clean and green.
