Historic neighborhood with suburban charm
Mapleton Hill is a residential area, known for its large homes and historical significance, that overlooks Downtown Boulder. As the city’s third and largest historic district, the neighborhood once housed Boulder’s earliest settlers and has an inventory of older homes, along with a cobblestone street. “It’s a very high-end, very classy neighborhood that people are drawn to, but you’ll have to get your checkbook out,” says Real Estate Broker Brian Delaney, owner of Delaney Realty Group, who has over 25 years of experience.

Old-timey vs. modern housing styles
Homes lining the residential streets of Mapleton Hill are both grand and elegant, showcasing almost every housing style from the late 19th century. Victorian estates and Princess Annes are common, with decorative features such as sprawling porches, bay windows and gabled roofs. These properties span across 3,000 to 5,500 square feet and can cost anywhere between $2 million and $10 million, depending on size and added acreage. There are also a handful of new traditional homes from the 1950s that range from $1.5 million to $2 million, with many of them undergoing remodeling. “Up here you have pretty restrictive rules as far as what you can do to the outside of your house,” Delaney says. “You have to maintain a certain aesthetic.” Most properties have manicured lawns with privacy fences and are shaded by luscious silver maples and cottonwood trees.
Closer to the west, post-modern homes built after 2020 are popping up on the market with contemporary features such as floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden slats. These newer properties go for $5 million to $7 million.

Additionally, the neighborhood is half a mile from Downtown Boulder. “You can easily walk to Downtown and all of its restaurants. It’s only four minutes to get your coffee,” Delaney says. Spruce Confections is a popular bakery with made-from-scratch pastries and scones. There’s also The Kitchen, an upscale American bistro with farm-to-table meals. For a fine dining experience, Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar specializes in gourmet seafood and fancy cocktails.
