What housing styles and price points buyers can expect
“South Boulder feels more like a suburb of Boulder compared to the rest of Boulder,” says Anne Wells, a local Realtor with The Agency. “It’s quiet and feels removed from the city, even though you’re really close to downtown.” Most of the homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, including split levels, brick ranch-style homes and the occasional mid-century modern build. “A lot of people are coming in and redoing the older houses, either working with the footprints or tearing them down and carrying their own vision,” says Realtor Lydia Creasey, Team Leader of Lydia’s Home Team with RE/MAX Alliance. Spacious lots are common in South Boulder, with some reaching over an acre. Condos and townhouses start in the mid-$200,000s and reach the upper $700,000s, while single-family homes range from the low $600,000s to around $2.8 million.
Renovated homes in South Boulder boast expanded living spaces and manicured gardens.
Modern remodels in the area incorporate solar panels and eco-friendly landscaping.

Trails and open space near South Boulder
The neighborhood’s west side borders the Rocky Mountain foothills. “The area has incredible views of the Flatirons,” Wells says. “And there’s so much hiking within walking distance. That’s one of the main draws.” The NCAR Trail, Bear Canyon Trail and Mesa Trail all wind below the Flatirons just west of the neighborhood and connect to an expansive network of foothills trails ideal for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Nearby, Martin Park has a playground, tennis courts and a baseball diamond. Around a mile south, Harlow Platts Park offers athletic facilities, picnic shelters, a disc golf course and a lake where you can cast a line or launch a non-motorized boat for an afternoon on the water.

What to know about local fire risk
Due to its location at the base of the foothills and the surrounding vegetation, South Boulder has an above-average risk for wildfire. Here’s what you should know about fire risk in the area if you’re thinking about buying in South Boulder:
The neighborhood is part of the city’s Wildland Urban Interface, a group of communities adjacent to open space and dry vegetation that increase fire risk.
Fire risk is highest on the west side of the community, closest to the foothills.
Insurance prices and availability can vary by location within the neighborhood.
Boulder has a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which addresses risk reduction in the city’s high-risk neighborhoods.
Shops and restaurants within a short drive
The Shops at Table Messa sits nearby on Broadway and is the go-to spot for grocery shopping or a meal out. “There are some locally owned restaurants and breweries and coffee shops that are an attraction to people,” Creasey says. “The area also has some good conveniences.” Popular local spots include:
Boxcar Coffee Roasters, which offers specialty coffee, tea and baked goods
South Side Walnut Cafe is known for its large breakfast plates
Southern Sun Pub & Brewery, which serves burgers and craft beer and hosts regular live music
