Commuting in and out of Boulder
Pine Brook Hill is a little over 2 miles west of North Boulder and Broadway, one of the city’s main arteries, making it easy for residents to access all of Boulder’s amenities. “I spend all day in town, and then I drive five minutes home and have views of nature. It’s a beautiful experience,” Griffith says. Downtown Boulder is about 4 miles from the neighborhood, which is about a 10-to-15-minute drive for shopping and dining.
Linden Drive is the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, and is what takes residents up and down the foothills. Boulder County maintains Linden and plows it when it snows. All the roads in Pine Brook Hill are paved, so winter weather is not as big of an issue as it is farther west in the mountains.
