Boulder
Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and 25 miles northwest of Colorado’s capital lies Boulder, one of the most sought-after locations for outdoorsy singles and families of all ages looking for pristine, preserved nature and a vibrant community. At the heart of the city is the University of Colorado, comprising over 30,000 students within the city’s population of almost 100,000—the American Institute for Economic Research even recently named Boulder as the top college town among small metros. Directly west of the campus is The Hill, an eclectic neighborhood comprising not only the renowned Fox Theater, bars, restaurants, and shopping, but also desirable Boulder real estate including condos, townhomes, and large houses, adjacent to national historic landmark Chautauqua Park. More than 60 parks including sports fields, playgrounds, skate parks, and dog parks are scattered throughout the city. Bicycling is a way of life here, with hundreds of bike paths making a trip to one of these scenic landmarks easily accessible and a quieter place to live.
