Newlands — Boulder, Colorado Neighborhood Guide

Serving Boulder County

Newlands is a historic neighborhood in northwest Boulder, roughly bounded by Mapleton Avenue, Broadway, Maxwell Avenue, and the foothills. Developed in the early 1900s as one of Boulder's first planned neighborhoods, Newlands features beautiful tree-lined streets with a mix of Craftsman bungalows, Tudor revivals, and older ranch homes. The neighborhood is prized for its walkability - residents can walk to downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall (15 minutes), Ideal Market, and the Mount Sanitas trailhead. The neighborhood's west edge provides direct access to the Sanitas Valley Trail system. Newlands is served by the exceptional school cluster of Whittier Elementary, Casey Middle, and Boulder High School. The area has no HOA and preserves its historic character through local zoning regulations.
