East Boulder

With a little bit more distance from the mountains and some additional room to spread out, East Boulder enjoys slightly lower real estate costs, which has created an innovative culture we’ve heard called the “Brooklyn of Boulder.” The growing tech and bioscience industries here help fuel progressive, chef-driven restaurants — plus coffee shops, breweries, distilleries and wineries — amid winding bike trails and stunning wetlands.

Things to Do

• Dine at Top Chef champion Hosea Rosenberg’s restaurant: Blackbelly Market, which is recommended by MICHELIN and earned their green star for sustainability.
