Renter's Guide to Boulder
With the Rocky Mountains to its west, and 151 miles of nature trails on all sides, Boulder is a rare blend of city life and scenic beauty at high elevations. The Boulder Flatirons’ gentle slopes in the horizon imbues a peaceful and dreamlike tranquility over the surrounding landscape, giving Boulder its nickname as “the city nestled between the mountains and reality”.
Geographically speaking, Boulder is fairly secluded, but with a tightknit community. It’s a 30-mile drive from Denver to Boulder (a relatively quick jaunt for work commutes and day trips alike), and 97 miles northwest of Colorado Springs and its awe-inspiring landmarks. Boulder is about 6 times smaller than Denver (and a fraction as populated), and roughly 8 times smaller than Colorado Springs (with about a quarter of the population).
Boulder’s climate is that of a high desert, and the weather in Boulder is pleasant year-round. Winter (December-February) averages 34 F, and has alternating periods of warm and wintry weather. Spring (March-May) has an agreeable dry heat, averaging 49 F. Summer (June-August) has very low humidity, averaging 70 F.

Living in Boulder
There are many reasons why you should move to Boulder: nature abounds, the natives’ progressive and friendly attitudes are refreshing, and the transportation system is reliable enough to live without a car.
