Boulder Wonderland Hill Neighborhood
Call, Text, or Email me. I’d love to talk to you about the Wonderland Hill neighborhood, or any other Boulder neighborhood, especially if you’re thinking of a move, or know someone that is moving.
A key part of what makes the Wonderland Hill neighborhood special is Wonderland Lake, and the extensive hiking and biking trail system that weaves through Wonderland Hill connecting it to the a 21-acre wild-life refuge which really defines what Wonderland Hill is all about.
The lake area includes a beautiful park with a children’s play area, convenient benches, and a large well-maintained open lawn perfect for an ad hoc game of frisbee.
One unique aspect of Wonderland Hill is that there’s no real parking for ‘guests’ around the park, lake or other areas, which means that while it’s a haven for its residents on many levels, it has not, and probably never will become a ‘destination’ location for Boulder locals who live outside the Wonderland Hill neighborhood. Except for the frequent bikers and hikers using the hogback trail system along the western edge of the neighborhood.

Homes in this area are typically spacious and many live on large lots which by today’s standards is somewhat uncommon, and is definitely one of the draws for Wonderland Hill.
Many of the homes are modern in look and feel, either due to the custom-built nature of their architectural style which goes back a few decades; or due to the fact that many of the homes have been remodeled and updated to include the amenities and styling that today’s home owners demand, especially in kitchens and baths.
This is a quiet and inviting neighborhood for even the most discerning buyer, with wide tree-lined streets, and in many cases great views of the foothills and the flatirons.
There are many local businesses that Wonderland Hill residents favor, including Lucky’s Market (a locally-owned grocery store), China Gourmet (a long-term Boulder favorite), a locally owned wine & spirits retail store, and several other restaurants which all bring a shopping balance within steps of most homes in Wonderland.
The Wonderland Hill neighborhood started out for the most part in the 1970’s as a new development of a mix of condos and single-family homes. One of Boulder’s first ‘high-end’ suburbs, fueled by IBM executives and others looking for a quiet setting with a close-in feel to Boulder.
I strive every day to give you the useful information and critical support you need to make an informed decision.

Boulder Mapleton Hill Neighborhood Profile
The Mapleton Hill Neighborhood is one of Boulder’s oldest neighborhoods. In the early 1880’s, about a decade after Boulder was incorporated two neighborhoods were established; the first two, of many to come were the Mapleton Hill Neighborhood, and to the south and east of Mapleton Hill we have the Whittier Neighborhood.
It took a dozen years or so for things to really get going in Mapleton Hill, about one third of the 500 homes in the neighborhood were built between 1895 and 1900, and then over half of the homes here (around 250 homes) were built between 1900 and about 1910.
Mapleton Avenue was originally known as Hill Street. If you’ve ever walked the stretch of Mapleton Avenue going west from Broadway, you know exactly why they called it Hill Street!
When the Mapleton neighborhood was getting off the ground, approximately 200 Silver Maple trees were planted, then in 1888 the Mapleton School was built on the south west corner of 9th and Hill Street. Consequently, Hill Street became Mapleton Avenue. The Mapleton School forged on as Mapleton Elementary until the mid 2000’s, then finally closed.
The closing of Mapleton Elementary meant that the neighborhood was reassigned by the Boulder Valley School District, and most kids in the neighborhood are now attending Whittier Elementary over at 20th & Pine Street. For many, this feels like a good thing. as families in Boulder often covet the opportunity to have their children attend the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Given the demand, if you don’t live in the area, even though Boulder has an open enrollment program, it’s unlikely you can get into Whittier Elementary.
One of my favorite streets in the Mapleton Hill neighborhood is Highland Avenue. It’s a very quiet four-block stretch between 4th and 8th Streets with little traffic, wide lanes and huge trees.
Like many neighborhoods, and real estate in general, what you’ve heard is true: it’s all about location. Mapleton hill is in many respects the best location you could want if you want to be within walking and easy biking distance to Boulder’s famous Pearl Street Mall in Downtown Boulder, North Boulder Park, the Ideal Market Shopping Center, and lots of single track trails like the well-known Mount Sanitas and Sanitas Valley trails.
Whether it’s vacant land for sale, neighborhood profiles, or Boulder county business profiles, I strive every day to give you the useful information and critical support you need to make an informed decision.

Old Town Louisville Neighborhood
Money Magazine just released the results of its choice for the top ten best small towns to live in the US. Louisville, CO made it to the top of the list. ConocoPhillips seemed to think Louisville was a good choice for their new research facility, and I’ve watched home buyers from all over the nation flock to Louisville, and other Boulder county towns for its quality of life.
I spoke to a few buyers recently about moving to the Louisville area, and one of the reasons they gave me besides quality of life (they said with a curious look, and sort of a “duh Zachary” attitude), was the quality of schools.
Money magazine may have said it best themselves:
Some towns nestled along the Rockies are full of pretentious eco-hipsters. Not Louisville. Ice cream shops dot the historic downtown. Families grab burgers at the cozy Waterloo Café. A Friday-night street fair, with a beer garden, live music, and games for the kids, runs all summer. No wonder this down-to-earth town has appeared high on Money’s Best Places list before–and on many others.
It’s also weathering the economic downturn well. Robust industries in the area, such as high tech, energy, and health care, make county unemployment among the lowest in the state.
But the top reason residents give for moving here? The great outdoors. Louisville is laced with nearly 30 miles of trails, Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away, and eight world-class ski resorts are within two hours. The town’s schools are highly rated as well.
Add in dry, clear weather, little crime, good health care, and low taxes, and Louisville is pretty tough to beat.
If you think Louisville, or one of the surrounding communities might be right for you I’d love to hear from you. Whether you, or someone you know may be thinking of a move, Call, Text, or Email me. I hope we can speak soon.
And by the way, I’m never too busy for your referrals, as a real estate professional intent on giving back to the community, my relationship-based career is exactly what you’ve been looking for in a helpful Realtor who will listen to you.

Home Energy Audit Is The Best First Step
If you’re inclined to look at your home and ask yourself, “what can I do to improve the energy efficiency of this place?” then it may be time for an energy audit.
I took the time to meet with Eric Van Orden from Standard Renewable Energy recently, and we did an energy audit of my home to get a sense for where I could improve efficiency.
The audit included a blower-door test, and the use of an infrared hand-held device to find out where I had leaks and insulation problems.
Newlands Neighborhood Profile In Boulder Colorado
