Luckily, Boulder also happens to be a growing city, which continues to make impressive headlines as a pro-environment city, a city with the country’s most fit population, one of the best small cities, one of the best cities for singles, and a bike-friendly city. Most pertinently for those of you searching for property for sale in Boulder, the city was named “best place to move” in the September 2004 issue of Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation.
Among the wonderful things in Boulder are the 54 urban parks, making life downtown a little greener and a little more eco-friendly. Residents of Boulder take advantage of the generally beautiful weather and the stunning natural surroundings, with many choosing to bike or walk almost everywhere they go. The city estimates about 10 percent of the people living in Boulder bike and 16 percent walk to their destinations. To make biking more feasible, the city has constructed over 200 miles of bike paths and made a combination of bussing and biking possible with a program called Bike-n-Ride. The bus system is, in itself, an interesting aspect of the city, with creatively named lines like: HOP, SKIP, JUMP, DASH, BOUND, and STAMPEDE.
The main campus of the University of Colorado is in Boulder, and students help make the city vibrant, contributing to Boulder’s average resident age of 29.
In 2002, just under 105,000 people made their home in Boulder, but the city’s population has been growing at a steady rate of 0.3 percent every year since 2000.
Buying in Boulder
When you’re looking at homes for sale in Boulder, you should consider all of your options carefully. Many people choose to buy land because there is still much of it available in Colorado. Buying undeveloped land, however, is more complicated than buying a ready-made home. In some areas of Boulder, you can get nine acres for about $50,000. Single bedroom condos start around $85,000, but the price fluctuates depending on where you want to live. If you prefer a single-family home, you can find two-bedrooms starting near $175,000.
