Boulder, Colorado

The city has a beautiful setting where the Rocky Mountains meet the Plains, and was historically an Indian settlement and gold rush town. Today, it is a very walkable city with excellent mass transit and a huge bicycle culture. There are plenty of bike lanes and trails for both pleasure and commuting.When you start the search for your Boulder apartment, you'll quickly see what a livable city this is.

College Climbing

Of course, Boulder is all about the outdoors and offers amazing venues for climbing, skiing and more. But the city also has quite a cultural vibrancy. The Boulder International Film Festival is world renown and the strong music scene ranges from classical (an annual Mahler festival) to bluegrass and funk played on the streets.The University of Colorado provides any number of opportunities to see live theatre, attend lectures and talks, and more. Once in your Boulder apartment, there's never a reason to be bored!

Drinking Out Of Mason Jars

Restaurants in Boulder are expectedly diverse as well. There are plenty of chain style places but also plenty of locally owned, very good establishments. Until you're settled and get to know your neighborhood, try out places like Il Pastaio, where everything is homemade, Brasserie Ten Ten, and Efrain's for a different style of Mexican food and margaritas in mason jars. Q's is a great place for breakfast as is either of the Dot's Diners in town. Go upscale at either Flagstaff House or Boulder Cork as both have fine steaks. The ratio of person to restaurants is very good in this likable city!

Pure Nightlife
