The median sales price for a home in Southeast Boulder is about $1 million, which is slightly higher than that of the City of Boulder, which is about $950,000. It is lower than some of Boulder’s older neighborhoods to the north, like Mapleton Hill, which has a median sales price of around $1.4 million. “For me, it’s about finding adequate square footage without having to spend $3 million or more to do so,” says Thomas Cohen, a broker associate with Compass who has over 35 years of experience. “It’s an affordable spot, relatively speaking, for Boulder.”
A diverse housing market spanning subdivisions

Housing styles range from eclectic ranch-style homes to contemporary bi-level and tri-levels, New Traditional multistory homes and estate-like properties in Keewaydin. Prices range from the lower $800,000s to $2.8 million. “The area tends to have larger, older homes. They tend to be a little bit more desirable,” says Brett Sawyer, a Realtor with Kentwood Real Estate, who has over 20 years of experience and grew up in the area. There are also condos and multistory townhouses available for purchase or rent. These units cost between the upper $200,000s and the lower $900,000s, depending on square footage and number of bedrooms.
