Life in Central Boulder is about energy, ease, and accessibility. There is so much goodness squeezed into a small package that it's no surprise that Boulder was voted one of the best places to live in the US.
"Extreme proximity" means the option to walk down Pearl Street to a favorite cafe and a fresh pastry, stroll up the hill for a hike, and get back home or to the office by 9am to start the day, all without getting in the car.
Downtown has a mix of beautiful historic neighborhoods blended in with modern builds, some condos and townhomes, all with a commonality that they exist together with the natural landscape and always maximize the views. There are sidewalks through most neighborhoods and enjoying a stroll is easy. Bridges cross over the Boulder Creek and meander along the water and connects parts of town and trails.
