Eclectic suburban neighborhood near outdoor recreation
Newlands is a residential neighborhood less than 2 miles from Downtown Boulder that sits adjacent to the Rocky Mountain foothills. Its location provides access to extensive outdoor recreation, bringing adventure to the otherwise quiet area. “A lot of people love how Newlands slowly slopes upward towards the foothills,” says Brian Delaney, broker and owner of Delaney Realty Group, who has over 20 years of real estate experience. “As you move further to the west, your view starts to improve.” In addition to the landscape, Newlands is noteworthy for its creative architecture, including Victorian homes and modern contemporaries.
Newlands’ proximity to mountains makes it a hub for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures.
From local boutiques to gourmet restaurants, Downtown Boulder offers a lively atmosphere.

Traditional single-story homes from the 1950s and Mid-Century Modern multi-levels with brick and vinyl exteriors are common. These properties range from 1,200 to 4,000 square feet and can cost $1 million to $4.5 million.

North of Hawthorne Avenue, the neighborhood parts with gridded streets and boxed lot sizes in favor of larger, more organic properties. “Most of those streets are really exclusive cul-de-sacs. There’s no through traffic, it’s really quiet and it’s great for kids,” Delaney says. “People love the privacy.” The properties here are estate-like, with large front lawns and Victorian-inspired architecture, costing between $4 million and $7.5 million.

Multiple trails lead into the hills, including the Dakota Ridge Trail, the Red Rocks Trail System and several others that navigate to Mount Sanitas. Additionally, North Boulder Park has a baseball diamond, basketball court, multi-use field and table tennis. There’s also the park’s Tot Track, a bike park with a dirt path and skills posts. “The community does a lot of congregating around North Boulder Park, whether it’s people celebrating birthdays, having a picnic or riding their bikes there,” Delaney says. “You’ll see in the summer, people have slacklines pulled, and tons of frisbee going on.” In the winter, the Boulder Nordic Club will visit the park to lay a track for traditional cross-country skiing. East of Broadway, the North Boulder Recreation Center has both indoor and outdoor facilities for community members to enjoy. The center offers free swim times for its indoor lap pool, open basketball in the gymnasium and classes for gymnastics.
