Area Information

Boulder, a picturesque valley town tucked at the base of the Flatiron Mountains, has garnered dozens of awards for the high quality of life reported by its residents. With over 300 days of sunshine every year, more than 45,000 (yep, that's three zeros) acres of preserved open space, and dozens of nationally acclaimed microbreweries, it's not hard to understand why.

Renting in Boulder means finding your place in an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The city has more than 300 miles of bike paths, more than 60 parks and is widely considered to have some of the best rock-climbing options in the country.

Shopping, dining and entertainment abound in downtown Boulder, where 85% of the 1,000-plus businesses are locally-owned. Dine at a nationally-acclaimed restaurant like The Kitchen, get away for a night at the historic Hotel Boulderado, or enjoy street performances at the four-block Pearl Street Mall.

The University of Colorado, in the heart of Boulder, attracts 25,000 students from around the world, creating a diverse environment that foodies adore. From natural to ethnic, there's no shortage of selection, especially in the University Hill business district. But when you're on the hunt for something delicious, don't forget that Boulder is considered the 'Napa Valley of craft brewing.'
