Boulder is one of the priciest markets in Colorado. Condos start in the $300,000s, many single-family homes fall between about $900,000 and $2 million, and luxury and foothills estates reach well into eight figures. Because a handful of very high-end listings pull the average up, price per square foot is a better guide than the average list price here. Looking at the high end? Browse Boulder County luxury homes for sale, priced from $1.5 million.
Prospectors led by Thomas Aikins arrived in late 1858, and Boulder was incorporated on November 4, 1871. The state legislature placed the University of Colorado here in 1861, and the campus opened in 1877. Boulder went on to become a pioneer in open space preservation, now holding about 61,500 acres, with roughly 35,600 acres open to the public.
Most of Boulder is served by the Boulder Valley School District. A few areas in northeast Boulder are in the St. Vrain Valley School District. The University of Colorado Boulder anchors the city.
School assignments depend on the exact address. Confirm boundaries with the district's school locator before you buy.
US 36 connects Boulder to Denver, and RTD's Flatiron Flyer bus rapid transit runs between the two cities. Denver International Airport is about 33 miles away.
