Hillcrest pairs a tucked-away residential feel with instant access to everything that makes Boulder hum. Bordering the historic streets of Mapleton Hill, this hillside pocket sits minutes from the cafés and performers of the Pearl Street Mall and the trailheads of Mount Sanitas via Open Space and Mountain Parks. Mature trees, mid‑century homes alongside thoughtful modern builds, and views that sweep to the Flatirons give the area an everyday sense of occasion.
Families appreciate strong public schools through the Boulder Valley School District, with nearby Boulder High School offering robust academics, arts, and athletics. Weekends tend to spill outdoors at North Boulder Park—perfect for picnics, pick‑up games, and winter Nordic loops—maintained by the city’s Parks and Recreation. Quick RTD connections keep commutes simple, with frequent service along downtown and Broadway corridors via RTD, while bike lanes and greenways make errands car‑optional. Cultural life thrives, too, thanks to performances, lectures, and Buffs energy at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Close to the cafes of University Hill and everyday conveniences in North Boulder, Hillcrest also places you within easy reach of the wider Boulder County foothills for quick trail escapes and scenic drives.
