Beverly Heights
Established homes with modern renovations sit alongside custom mountaintop estates
Many of the homes in the neighborhood date back to the 1940s through the 1970s. “There’s a popular saying in town – ‘Don’t Boulder my Golden’ – and that’s really about how so many historic buildings and homes in Boulder were torn down and replaced,” says Strobel. “Of course, some things have to be updated and modernized, and the neighborhood is becoming more modern, but it still maintains that old-school, neighborly feel.” Styles include ranch and traditional, with many homes featuring more modern renovations. These typically range from $1 million to $1.25 million, while custom homes – usually comprised of exposed brick or masonry and sometimes even featuring elements of mid-century modern – start at $1.3 million and reach as high as $1.7 million. Lot sizes are typically larger than what can be found in the more urban areas nearby, with mature trees and mountain views.

Beverly Heights Park provides a peaceful gathering spot
Beverly Heights Park features trails and tracks for walkers and cyclists, open space, and views of the surrounding natural beauty. “It’s a great spot to break out the hammock and nap or study,” says Strobel. “It’s a great spot for dogs, too – my husband and I have been walking our dogs there since 2004.” Nearby, locals flock to the Front Range foothills of the Rocky Mountains, which allow for relaxation and recreation in equal measure. In Downtown Golden, Parfet Park is the oldest park in the city and features regular “Movies & Music in the Park” during summer nights.The Chimney Gulch Trail begins in the neighborhood. The 2,000-foot climb leading to the summit at Lookout Mountain Nature center, is popular with hikers, mountain bikers and cross-country skiers.

Downtown Golden is full of local history and local favorites both
Coors has been brewing beer in downtown Golden for more than 150 years. The company still maintains its brewery there and, along with employing more than 2,000 people, offers free tours, tastings and a gift shop.The downtown is within walking distance of the neighborhood, and is home to a bevy of unique restaurants, shops and venues. The Golden Hotel overlooks Clear Creek, features space for hosting events and is home to the Bridgewater Grill. Buffalo Rose, a staple of Golden since its founding in 1859, serves up elevated pub fare and American classics while also functioning as a lively music venue. Residents can choose King Soopers, Safeway or Natural Grocers to restock the pantry, while Colorado Mills, about 4 miles away, is home to Target, Marshall’s and other retail options.

Walk to downtown or take I-25 directly to Denver
Many residents in the neighborhood are within walking distance of their jobs in downtown Golden or the Colorado School of Mines. Those who need to commute further can do so via I-93 to Boulder or I-25 to Denver, which take about “45 and 35 minutes to reach, respectively,” according to Strobel. The Denver International Airport sits 35 miles outside the neighborhood, and the HCA HealthONE Hospital is 20 miles out. Residents can use the W Line of the RTD light rail, while bus stops provide transit across town.The area is at risk of wildfires and county has worked to create an extensive protection program. It also gets more than 6 feet of snow a year with storms occurring through April and into early May.

Beverly Heights is that quiet residential community on the other side of Highway 6 from the Colorado School of Mines, which is why so many CSM staff and their families live there. Indeed, the husband of the couple selling this home at 1945 Sage Drive is himself a retired professor of geochemistry. Tucked at the foot of Mt. Zion with its iconic “M” on the mountainside, this community is so loved
