CITY OF BOULDER

Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder has a special beauty that is complemented by its rich cultural amenities.

The University of Colorado, which includes a 143 acre research park, encourages a productive relationship with the community. These superior educational and cultural resources make Boulder a fulfilling place to live and work. Boulder is about 25 miles northwest of Denver, in the shadows of the magnificent Flatirons, surrounded by 30,000 acres of open space.
