Established homes with mountain views
Brick ranch-style homes, mid-century modern builds and shed-style homes line the area’s streets, and most were built between the 1940s and 1990s. Large west-facing windows are a common feature and offer views of the mountains, and many homes have quarter-to-half-acre lots. “Typically, the farther you are from Pearl Street, the more affordable the homes are,” says Anne Wells, a local Realtor with The Agency. “So Wonderland has a bit lower price points compared to nearby neighborhoods like Newlands.” Newlands lies just south of the neighborhood and has a median home price of around $2.1 million compared to Wonderland’s median of roughly $1.5 million. Two-to-four-bedroom townhouses start in the mid-$800,000s and reach around $1 million, while single family homes range from the low $900,000s to roughly $4.3 million.
Many different home styles can be found throughout Wonderland.
Contemporary multi-story homes are common in Wonderland.

Lakeside recreation and nearby hiking trails
“Some of the reasons why this area is so popular is because you have the park, access to open space, it’s close to downtown and then you have this cool, functional boutique area where you can get everything you need,” says Real Estate Broker Brian Delaney, owner of Delaney Realty Group, who has almost 25 years of experience. Wonderland Lake Park offers a playground, open space and a walking loop in the neighborhood’s center, with trails connecting to Foothills Park and the Mount Sanitas trails. While most houses do not fall within a designated homeowners association, the Wonderland Hill Pool and Tennis Club charges monthly fees for use of the local outdoor pool and tennis courts.
Wonderland Lake Park is a recreational draw to Wonderland.
One of Wonderland's draws is the many nearby trails for biking and hiking.

Events and galleries in Boulder’s art district
“North Boulder is the city’s art district,” Wells says. “Every October the area has an art walk across two weekends, where local artists set up booths and people host galleries on their yards or in their homes. It’s a really cool thing and now has spread across Boulder County.” There are several galleries and theaters within a short drive of the neighborhood where you can enjoy the city’s art scene year-round:
The Nomad Playhouse is a historic theater that hosts regular dance recitals, musicals and concerts.
The NoBo Art Center features rotating exhibits from local artists and hosts the First Friday Market from May to December.
The NoBo Bus Stop Gallery has the works of over 250 artists from across the Front Range on display.
