Residential streets of custom single-family homes
Lower Clover Basin has a unique selection of single-family homes, with most of them having been built between the 2000s and late 2010s. “It’s right on the edge of Boulder, and it’s a good, affordable option for those who work in Boulder but don’t want to pay the prices,” White says.

Contemporary Craftsman homes with bright colors are common in this area, with front gables, pointed roofs and attached garages.

Traditional townhouses are also located to the north of the neighborhood, costing $450,000 to $700,000.As the neighborhood expands south and west into the surrounding farmlands, homes and property sizes get larger. Multi-level modern estates speckle the area, sitting on acres of flat land. Housing styles vary from cabin-inspired to Craftsman and Tucson-inspired, though they share features such as large picture windows, accent walls and looped driveways. These properties span 4,000 to 7,500 square feet and range in price from $2.2 million to $4 million. The CAP Index crime score for Lower Clover Basin is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

There’s also Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse and Tiffin’s India Café.
