Just north of Denver, the beautiful County of Boulder offers the opportunity to live at the crossroads of closeness to nature and a tight-knit, colorful community. Aptly named, this county lies at the base of the Rockies, next to the famous Flatiron rock formations. Because of its location, Boulder County has unparalleled access to incredible hiking, biking, camping, and rock climbing. With more than 150 miles of trails and 45,000 acres of open space to explore, it’s no wonder Boulder County is one of the healthiest communities in the nation. But this community has more than just outdoor activities to offer its residents. The University of Colorado at Boulder sits right in the center of the City of Boulder, and nearby Pearl Street features the area’s best local boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Here, residents will always have something new to explore close to home.
