Housing market and cost of living similar to Boulder
In Mountain Meadows, the average home value is roughly $1 million, close to Boulder’s average value of about $940,000, but twice as much as the national average. “[The cost of living] is right around Boulder’s average.

The median household income is around $105,600. Multistory mountainside homes built in the 1970s are common, which span 1,800 to 3,500 square feet. Prices range from the upper $700,000s to $1.5 million, depending on size. Smaller homes with traditional architecture are priced between the mid $500,000s and mid $800,000s.
