A growing suburban city near Boulder
Superior is a residential city about 8 miles southeast of Boulder and roughly 23 miles northwest of downtown Denver. “There is so much to love about Superior and very little to dislike,” says Managing Broker Justen Staufer with Staufer Team Real Estate, who is also a board member for the Superior Chamber of Commerce. “Everybody I have met who lived in Superior as a kid and is now an adult looks back at their childhood and knows how fortunate they were to grow up here.”
Originally founded as a coal mining town in 1904, Superior transitioned to a farming community when the area’s last mine closed in 1945. As the city became more residential, the job market shifted to the healthcare, manufacturing and professional services sectors. Today, the city’s population sits at over 13,400 people and continues to grow. Master-planned neighborhoods maintain close communities, and new developments, such as Downtown Superior, aim for more retail and dining.

Downtown’s shopping and dining, plus Superior Marketplace
There are multiple shopping and dining districts in the city, like Superior Marketplace, a massive business park with dozens of name-brand retailers, big box stores and several upscale chain restaurants. For more options, Rock Creek Village is a shopping center on Coalton Road with local restaurants. To the east is Flatiron Crossing, an indoor shopping mall and an AMC movie theater. The area is surrounded by fast food options as well. Downtown Superior is the city’s latest project – a 156-acre mixed-use development with retail, dining, businesses and additional housing. “The Downtown area is newly developed and still growing. Restaurants, wellness centers and retailers have begun to move in and there is plenty of room for more economic development,” Staufer says.
FlatIron Crossing features a variety of stores and restaurants.
Whole Foods Market is a large grocery store with a huge variety of everything you'll need.

Navigating Superior’s modes of transportation
The city's streets are both pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly, with sidewalks, designated bike lanes and various trails. “Superior is probably the most walkable community near Boulder,” Staufer says. The Regional Transportation District (RTD) also has several local bus lines with stops, including the U.S. Route 36 & McCaslin Boulevard Park-and-Ride Station.
Drivers can access U.S. 36, known as the Denver Boulder Turnpike, along the city’s northern edge. There’s also Colorado state Highway 128 in the south. While the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is only 7 miles away for charter flights, travelers must use the Denver International Airport for commercial flights.
Dry climate and decreasing crime in Boulder County
The city contracts with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement. According to Colorado Crime Statistics, from 2020 to 2024, reports of violent crime decreased by 12%. Reports of property crime decreased by 29% over the same timeframe.
Superior’s semi-arid climate means residents experience all four seasons. The average annual snowfall in the city is 78 inches, which is higher than both the state and national averages. When the weather is dry there may be an elevated risk of potential wildfires. Mountain View Fire Rescue’s Station 5 responds to fire emergencies.
