Which Boulder Neighborhoods Have Appreciated the Most?
Which Boulder neighborhoods have appreciated the most and which are lagging behind? This is a tough question to answer since there are so many variables. But hopefully some data will help to make some sense of that question. Over the past five years the Boulder area has been on quite a run of price appreciation.

Breaking it down a bit more, here are the appreciation rates for the local communities over the past five years (from information gathered in IRES MLS): Boulder – 66% Louisville – 51% Lafayette – 60% Longmont – 61% Superior – 56% Erie – 50% To break it down a bit further I have divided the City of Boulder into eleven distinct neighborhoods. To see more on these neighborhoods please see the Boulder Neighborhood Guide which I update each year. A map of how I have delineated the neighborhoods is below. With the baseline of 66% appreciation over the past five years, here are the appreciation rates for Boulder neighborhoods. South Boulder – 65% Chautauqua – 52% Mapleton Hill – 44% Newlands – 36% Wonderland Lake/ Dakota Ridge – 34% North Boulder East – 76% Whittier – 46% North East Neighborhoods – 126% (Note- Mostly condos and townhomes in this area with the exception of the Four Mile Creek, Kalmia 38 and Northfield neighborhoods which have seen high priced new builds which have raised the median prices way above the average) East Boulder – 49% Retail/Industrial Core – 106% (Note... read more
