High-End Homes in Boulder, Colorado: Benefits of Living in University Hill

By
Real Estate Agent with Colorado Home Helper Inc

As I mentioned recently, high-end home sales in Colorado are in the rise.  University Hill is a neighborhood in Boulder where you can find homes in the $1-million-and-up category.  Although town homes and condos are available for considerably less, this historical Boulder neighborhood is so popular that its stately single-family homes command considerable value.

The benefits of Boulder's University Hill neighborhood include:

Location - University Hill is located close to the University of Colorado, Downtown Boulder, and the city's popular pedestrian shopping district, Pearl Street Mall.

Urban atmosphere - In addition to its close proximity to Boulder's important landmarks, University Hill has many hot spots of its own.  Local bars, restaurants, and independent shops are everywhere, hailing from a time when the corner store was a common phenomenon.  University Hill is the perfect community for those who enjoy lively urban atmosphere and convenient location.

History - As one of Boulder's earliest neighborhoods, University Hill started in 1890 with a large planned development called University Place Addition.  The neighborhood continued to grow over the years, attracting faculty and students alike.  You can read more about University Hill history here.

Value - Unlike many other historical high-end neighborhoods, you don't have to significantly sacrifice square footage in order to live in University Hill.  The Hill was home to many faculty members from University of Colorado and other important people, and as a result many of the pricier homes are quite beautiful and comfortable.

Not everyone who purchases high-end real estate in Boulder, Colorado wants to be secluded from Boulder's unique atmosphere.  University Hill's more impressive homes allow people to have value and comfort at the same time as they enjoy the eclectic urban lifestyle Boulder is so well known for.
