Mapleton Hill — Boulder, Colorado Neighborhood Guide

Serving Boulder County

Mapleton Hill developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s as Boulder's first prestigious residential address, and it remains one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. The district runs along Mapleton Avenue and the surrounding blocks west of Broadway, with stately Victorian, Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Tudor Revival homes set on large lots beneath a mature tree canopy. Many homes retain original woodwork, stained glass, and carriage houses. The neighborhood sits at the base of the foothills — the Mount Sanitas trailhead is at the west end of Mapleton Avenue — and downtown Pearl Street is a short walk downhill. Mapleton Hill is served by Flatirons Elementary and Boulder High School, and its combination of historic architecture, foothills setting, and downtown proximity makes it one of Boulder's most sought-after addresses.

Mapleton Hill is Boulder's grandest historic neighborhood, climbing the foothills west of downtown along Mapleton Avenue. Large Victorian, Queen Anne, and Craftsman homes on generous lots, canopy trees, and Front Range views define this premier historic district.
