A well-planned neighborhood of many homes
In Palo Park, the suburban setting is a mixed bag of different housing styles. Craftsman homes with grassy lawns sit down the street from manufactured homes with carports, all about 4 miles northeast of downtown. Several community parks are spread across the area as well. “It’s one of the more affordable neighborhoods in Boulder, and the people who live here just love it,” says Realtor Angela Moss with 8z Real Estate, who has almost 15 years of experience. “The listing I have now is an older couple who has lived there for 35 years, so people will move there and stay there.”
Colorado State Highway 119, also known as Diagonal Highway runs near the multi-story townhouses.
In the southern part of the neighborhood 28th Street and Valmont Road surround Palo Park.
